It's All My Husband's Fault

  Omg, you guys.   The Ex is cheating on Boyfriend.   I don't know if she's actually physically done anything with this new guy, but she's sneaking around to see this guy when Boyfriend's not around.  Even if it hasn't gone physical, she is absolutely having an emotional affair.  Plus she cheated on Husband in the past, so my guess is she's totally banging this dude already.   She posted some picture on Facebook about how much she loves spending "every day that she can" with her "man" which I thought was really weird because she and Boyfriend are married and live together, so it's not that hard to spend time together, right?  But that was before I found out she was cheating; I had assumed that she was referring to Boyfriend.  Now I'm almost certain it wasn't.   Also, New Guy is aware that Boyfriend is in the picture and is apparently trashy enough to not care that his new girlfriend IS FREAKING MARRIED.   Ew.  Ew, everywhere.

( Did I tell you that Son asked me how you french-kiss?  Afterward he asked if I thought it was "weird" that he asked me; I told him no, because he didn't know how, he wanted to know, and that was totally normal for his age. ) ...

  There's a picture circulating the Internet that reads, "She's crazy.  And just when you think you've reached the bottom of her craziness, there's a crazy underground garage."  I don't know if you guys have seen it or heard that saying before, but it is true.  So very, very true.   Husband gets an email last Wednesday: "[Husband] ( I'm not exaggerating, she put this many lines between the greeting and the actual message )   I have not received any emails from you in a long time. ( Husband hadn't emailed her for one week.  Interesting how she sends an email just to say she hasn't gotten any emails.  She's not this efficient in any other aspect of her life, so when she emails just to "check in" I assume she's up to something. ) Are you sure you are sending them to this email? ( She brings this up because once earlier this year, Husband sent an email to her old address.  ONCE. )   I received your Letter ( Why is th...
