Ya think?..B.S. I think!.. I had to lay down the law..After 11 months of conflict over the subject: I told him to poo or get off the pot..stay intimate with the work herum and enjoy the futile, frustrating & sexless life (all were married) OR keep them on a shelf at work and do so without cutting into my time..I told him he needed to introduce me (all lived out of state) and they needed to meet me to know that I existed..I wanted them to watch me mark my territory in person and then to get into an alpha contest with each one of them..It wasn't until I was seriously ready to dump him he realized I wasn't kidding..I would have won that contest without spilling a drop thanks to his cowardice..Clearly, he'd gotten away with this behavior most of his adult life..Believe me, it was less than fabulous when these women were incomunicado with him after hours, on weekends, in the middle of the night, especially when he ignored me to go flirt with them in another room of the house: by phone, text, email and occasionally in person during corporate social gatherings (to which I've never been invited)..After 11 months, the ultimatum ensued: if you're not going to introduce me to the work harem (he's their boss-can you say conflict of interest?) then I am history..I sure wasn't playing second fiddle to vaginal ghosts-it was either them or me.. Point of interest: After doing a bit of research I discovered a little 411: work spouses, sexual mistresses, the other man, even intimate naughty internet friends can be sued for 'alienation of affection'..Finding evidence is simple, easy and cheap with a good P.I. AND is admissible in court..Seven states still have the 'alienation of affection' law on the books and it has cost some high profile wealthy people..If the law isn't on the books in any one or more of the other 43 states there are other ways to sue those who stand in the way of marriage/committed relationships..
