This new furious state

I had an interesting experience with the Pleasants and their furiousness. Mary-Sue caught Daniel making out with the maid (surprise, surprise) and became furious with them. She proceded to slap Daniel, thus making him furious with her, and all was as it should be. Then the next day Mary-Sue came home from work while the two lovers were woohooing in bed, but she didn't seem to notice. I thought that maybe they had changed it in NL so that sims couldn't automatically tell whenever anyone was going at it on a lot, so I had her walk into the room while they were making out and still nothing. It was like once she was furious at her husband she didn't care enough about him (both scores were in the negative) to give a darn whether or not he went around sleeping with other people. Seemed kind of weird to me, but I had them break up just the same. :P
This has been bugging me too. I had a situation where a wife flirted with another sim right in front of her husband and his family. The husband did the usual slappity-slap, the pink heart disappeared from his relationship status with her in the panel, and he immediately didn't seem to mind her continued romantic advances against the other sim. The rest of the family did mind, appropriately, although they would always make the sounds of approval directly after having a fit. I don't get that.
Ancient Sim:
I read somewhere that once the relationship is trashed, they don't bother anymore. Heather Huffington's ex-husband took to appearing everywhere whenever she had a date. He would stand next to her and dance, grinning nauseatingly at her, or sit next to her at the dinner table, but he never batted an eyelid if anything romantic was occurring. Once he lost his furiousness, he stopped appearing. That's when his brother took over in an attempt to turn his relationship around because he fancies Heather like crazy, but I've already been into that one.

I'm of two minds on the furious thing.... sometimes it works out to an advantage, and it certainly spices things up. But it goes way overboard, is inconsistent and produces some really strange behavior. I'm to the point where I'm exceedingly annoyed with it.
Has anyone else noticed the "furious" sims coming over to the other sims house (the one they're furious with) uninvited, just walk in the house and stay. Literally for hours and hours. The other sim doesn't even have to be home.
When I first installed NL, Ajay Loner and Countess V had a nice friendship thing going on. Just a good ol' 100/100 relationship. Nothing romantic on his part, no hearts, no flirting, etc. Somehow the Countess ended up with a crush on him, even though there had been no flirting. Naturally, she shows up while he's on a date with his current love, a townie named Felicia. Countess rushes over and slaps the snot out of him. Felicia is then mad at him now, too, for unexplicable reasons. At that point Ajay bailed, since the date was about to end anyway.
Over the next three sim days the Countess would come by during the day and steal the paper or kick over the trash can, pull the "Ahhh, the sun, I must flee!" bit and leave. As soon as the sun went down (and Ajay went to work) she'd show up at his house, just stroll on inside and plonk herself down on the couch. Over the next 6 to 8 hours she'd just sit there with the burnination picture of Ajay popping up in her thought bubble. What really made it interesting is that after the first day of this Felicia started showing up and doing the same damn thing. Ajay would leave for work and the two women would show up, sit down on his couch and each one would sit there stewing with multiple burnination Ajay piccies in their thought bubbles. Oddly enough, they never, ever conversed with one another- they'd just sit there next to each other for hours on end stewing and wouldn't leave until Ajay got home from work and asked them to.
Eventually he was able to get both relationships back on track, but not without a lot of work on my part. And these were fortune sims! I'm afraid to play any of the romance aspirations at this point- the offended sim may just show up at their house and *never* leave.

I've also noticed a weird one, was furious but that has died off, one of my sims saw two teen sims (not related unless its an aunt or uncle, but not sure on that one) and got mad (-points mad) at both of them, not sure why. very crumplebottom like, but with no purse slapping. Just thought it was odd. the kids were just eating dinner and holding hands and stuff.

I haven't seen the just come over and hang out behavior at all, and my game is a cesspool where I can't think of any sim that isn't furious with at least 3 other sims at the moment.
The crush thing is probably the bug mentioned in the patch thread. Some actions cause crushes to form for no reason. Supposed to be fixed with the patch.
