My wife and I had a threeway with my ex, and they're kind of at each other's throats now.  The ex lives on our block too, so it's slightly awkward in the neighborhood
It was all just fine
nope, it's fine like it is
Hello

Hi, how goes?

I'm doing fine, you can tell me your problems

Well, you see when I was dating my ex she and I had a threeway with the woman who was living in my mother-in-law apartment at the time. Well the ex and I broke up not too long after, and eventually the mother-in-law woman and I got married. My ex lives next door though, and her and my wife bump into each other all the time and sparks tend to fly. It's kind of awkward in the neighborhood.

Oooh that's a very complicated situation. They are both adults, I hope even with tension, they don't do anything inappropriate, do they?
assistant
Question
Well, the ex has gotten in the wife's face once or twice, but that's simmered down some. Part of the problem also is that the ex is simultaneously one of the smartest people I've ever met, and also a pretty serious alcoholic. So she's brilliant, but kind of emotionally stunted at the same time.

Ah, those people are the hardest to deal with. If it's too much, have you and your wife considered moving away?
assistant
Restatement or Paraphrasing
Oh I can't imagine ever moving. We have a pretty terrific house. Plus I bought most of the neighboring houses over the years, so now it's kind of a whole compound. I don't know that there's any particular fix for this, it's just sort of something to live with I think.

I understand, you're in a very tough spot. Have your wife ever expressed her annoyance?
assistant
Question
Oh a little bit. She's only mildly weirded out by the whole thing. It's a shame the ex has to be kind of problematic about everything. I mean otherwise we could all still hang out and whatnot

That's not too bad then. Your wife seems to be mature and understanding. If you can't do anything to completely avoid your ex, maybe your best choice is to limit seeing her as much as possible

That's pretty good advice I'd say!

You and your wife can hang out a bit further from your home. It's inconvenient but at least your time won't be interrupted by your ex
assistant

Yes, that's a possibility as well I suppose. I think we're allowed to wrap this up at this point, if you like? Still with me? yooo hooo
