Extra Mile

I have been married to "Scott" for several years. He's a wonderful man. It's the second marriage for me, the third for Scott. We are in our 40s and attend a lot of school sporting events for his youngest sons. We live in a small town. Scott grew up here and knows everyone. My problem is the mother of one of the team members. We'll call her "Delilah". She is married but seems to have issues. She's obnoxiously flirtatious with Scott. Her husband has not accompanied her to many of the games, and her behavior is escalating. I'm not usually a jealous person, but this is getting annoying. I have, until this point, always been nice to her. I even complimented her on losing weight once, even though it didn't look like she had lost any. And why is it that she can't just let her "come get me" outfits do the work for her, instead of going the extra mile in case there are blind people who haven't noticed her? I'm just wondering how Scott can stand seeing her every day at work. She must be quite a bother, because he frequently has to stay at the office late to get all the work done that Chatty Cathy wouldn't let him do. So what can I do about this?

You may want to consider pulling your (his) sons out of the sporting events. You don't need the aggravation. Or, if Scott insists, he can go alone and suffer through Delilah's advances while you take a bath.
