I found this today on another site I write on. What do you think?!
Situation: Male takes on a new partner who is conditioned to think in terms of relationships being serially monogamous and sees herself as the "new" girlfriend, and the other woman as the one from a relationship that is unstable and close to ending. To make sure that the relationship is exclusive she menaces the primary girlfriend until finally the primary girlfriend is provoked into taking a stand against the abuse. Because the guy is drunk with NRE, he takes the side of the new woman and criticizes the primary female, accusing her of being jealous and refusing to hear any of what transpired between the two women. Should the primary ditch him for being an asshole, or give him time to realize that the new woman is trying to change him and make him abandon the primary relationship - which was important to him before she came along - for her?
