I'll preface this post with "I know it doesn't MEAN anything" but it is one of those WTF little things that drive me nuts.
Why does it drive you nuts? Because of your mind reading?
Have you followed Scotty Bs thread. His kooky stbxw in July was talking about them buying a beach home. She then bought her own house in November.
In your STBXWs mine nothing has changed until SHE decides that it does. That's what happens when the LBS gives them all the power. You are literally at her mercy.
