Mywife told me the same thing about her latest PA, even though I treated her like a queen for the last fifteen years.

They're all the same.

Careful bro., that is simply not so. Just like all of us guys are not the same, the girls are not all the same. There are plenty of good, kind, loving, loyal women out there who would make wonderful life long companions. Trust me on this.

No, no, I meant unrepentant cheaters. Should have made myself more clear.

I can understand why. WS had compartmentalised so well that by the time she got home, Faithful Spouse was back in the house.

When FS saw her poor husband watching the video the compartment walls vanished and FS was faced with her actions and the impact they were having on her husband.

And the fact of realising that the OM could do something so evil must have come as a shock to her.

Be careful with this one as well....some married couples don't wear rings either. For the longest time, I didn't wear one, nor did my husband. We had them, but the general tenet of our church is "no jewelry"... we took that to mean no wedding rings as well. But, since this all transpired with both of us, we have been wearing the rings again. Don't care what the church says (tho now they are more lenient about jewelry, go figure )

Anyway, just because she doesn't wear a ring, doesn't mean she's not married.

It sounds like you found a woman with actual feelings who cared for you. Maybe you can look her up an pd rekindle the romance.

Ok, so shes got education, but she doesnt have any love or empathy for you, nor does she have a heart. What i dont understand is why she still has you to abuse?

Not the case, it transpired that the OW actually made a play for me because she thought I was a stable person and would be a good father for her two children.

Matt,

I got a chance to talk to her doctor, the one who treated her when she was briefly institutionalized last year. The rape she endured as a young teenage girl could have been at the root of her cheating. He said it is not uncommon for rape victims, to engage in promiscuous behavior including extra-marital affairs as a way to treat themselves for the pain they suffered long ago. I know it doesn't make any sense but then again, keep in mind that logic is an alien concept inside a broken person's head.

Mori was your wife institutionalized before or after your divorce? What I mean is, was the end of your marriage one of the things that tipped her into a breakdown?

Bandit, it was way after my divorce was finalized (almost two years). It came on the heals of her learning that I was involved with another woman, my present girlfriend (the coffee shop encounter, remember?). I believe that in her mind, the divorce was just a piece of paper and that we were going to get back together. The last thing on her mind was that I had moved on with my life and was sharing my life with another woman. All hope for a reconciliation between us vanish instantaneously. According to our mutual friend (who BTW was livid when she found out she cheated on me and was going to tell me before I stumbled on the video) she was hysterical and pleaded with her to give her my home address and phone number. Of course my friend refused and told her that she did not have the information anyway. She told her that if she truly loved me she would let me go and wish me the best. The tailspin had begun

But up until that day at the coffee shop, all the while thinking she would lure you back, I imagine she was still continuing on with her self-destructive lifestyle even after you left her?

Sorry for all the questions Mori, but I never read your original thread.

No worries bandit.

It is possible but without proof I really can't say one way or the other. But to me it is really not important since my wife died on DDay.

Ex-Wife - Red flags, was working out of town. Was told he's her classmate and just a friend in college. She was seen with OM out in public with him by friends and family (small town) holding hands. Uh huh. Even during summer vacation and semester breaks? Came home early from out of town and saw a hand written love letter to OM. First she claimed she wrote it for her friend. Then why the hell did you sign it with your name?

Current: Lots of red flags, but had decided long ago that she wasn't the type, like my first wife. Of course now I've learned there is no certain type of person to cheat. After talking with a friend and on a hunch, entered her work email into facebook. And discovered her secret facebook account under a different name and one visible post on her wall and only one friend...the OM.



At first she tried to deny it was her, before I told her it was associated with her WORK email. Then Trickle Truth from that point out.

And I suspect she was 100% right about that. But, as for your wife, I honestly don't understand his you could stay with someone so lacking empathy.

There was no original thread with my story. I posted it on different threads.
