LOL! This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with WK while we were still nominally married. I told him that the Beast was never going to leave him alone about speaking to me unless he "did something to reassure her". Well, you don't get much more reassuring than a marriage license, now do you!

But she is still insecure, still controlling, still manipulating every little minute detail.

The kids don't get to hang out with him or even just simply talk to him if she is around - like Big Foot, she must be the center of attention if she is beside him. The rest of the time, she ignores him. I guess that if he isn't worth showing off, she doesn't want to devote any attention to him unless, of course, someone else wants his attention.
