Mr. Tennis is right! Plus, always take the high road
In his impish way, Mr. Tennis is absolutely right. LW's problem is entirely with her partner. And, truth be told, there may be a bit more to this situation than she'd like to think.
A little clue is in there: "He's since become uncomfortable with her, mostly since our relationship became committed and the MILF began referring to me as her 'competition.'"
So, partner had a little flirtation (at least) going on there. This didn't just come out of nowhere. That doesn't mean that MILF isn't getting carried away, but let's tell it like it is.
The main thing is that this isn't LW's fight. Certainly it feels as though it is, but it isn't. It is with the partner and his respect for LW. He needs to handle this or it's trouble.
Better to not respond to emails or phone calls. If LW meets the MILF on the street, she should be moderately polite.
Believe me, feeling secure in your relationship is the best way to handle anyone who has an interest in your partner.
LW, retain your dignity and you will come out ahead in the long run.
BTW, I've seen plenty of women get kicked to the curb when they became hysterical and abusive about another woman's flirtation. A woman crazy with jealousy isn't fun to live with, especially when there's someone "fun" ready, willing and able.
