Here it goes--she bared her soul to a louse of a spouse, now ex. Although this is out of my depth, David, I somehow sense that he is suffering.

I think of the first line humorous...secondly if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with, why not. We all have a little of Lilith within her.

Yes he was a cheating louse Anaya, and got his comeuppance when walking in on his wife (maybe estranged) see reply to Kim below, for one scenario, any further scenarios I’ll leave to the readers imagination lol! Cheers David

All metaphorical of course Kim, her cheating husband has become invisible to her, so much so, she purposely let him catch her in bed with her Ex, even through the sheets (if indeed any were present) he could see exactly what was going on, lol! Cheers David
