Whew--for a few days there you had me convinced that you had zero sense of humor.
My humor tends to be rather sarcastic, dry, and dark.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if I'm serious or not.

Kidding about what? He does not really care, what we do it's up to me.

I meant, it concerned me that he was also invited, and perhaps was chomping at the bit to go. But that's a relief, so you don't have to turn this into some kind of showdown over whether or not he's going to see her there, with him insisting on going.

I had to respond on this one....I cdn't wait til end of thread so apologies if my answer is a bit late!

Donders, by these very words you show your complete lack of intelligence. You show you have absolutely no understanding of any situation, and probably more so than most on here, your own. Those words you utter are the most ignorant and unintelligent I have ever heard. You may be telling the truth on your IQ and if you are it only highlights the fact that you are one of these people with mental agility in certain areas and absolutely zero in all other areas. Like a severe autism or aspergers case is where I would put you.

Are you saying that someone who has no children is just as qualified as someone with to give advice on child rearing?

That someone who has never owned a dog is just as qualified as those with dogs to give advice on dog training and behaviour?

That someone who has never built a house has just as much right and is just as qualified to give advice on house building as someone who's career it is to build houses?

I bet you have had cheating right under your nose and would never realise, because you are utterly in your own world of ignorance.

My god! I would not want to be your wife. And I would not want to live in your house!

That doesn't make any sense.
It does to someone who likes and gets on well with dogs.

He was such a dumb ass that he didn't think she was serious ( she is married, and decades younger than he) She was also educated in Marriage and Family Therapy. She knew what she was doing and how harmful it was. Do you similarly excuse con artists who defraud people out of their life savings? No warning necessary there either? My H did choose to have an A, but only after being convinced that it would actually be good for his marriage and I would never find out. She also convinced him that he was entitled to have an A, it was his right. I said he was a dumb ass about women didn't I?. These friends need to be warned about this skank, I wish I had been.
So she used the psychology and training in relationships she had to con someone into having an affair?

That's like a trained locksmith becoming a burglar!

Make sure you are wearing a really nice outfit, get your hair done, hold your head up high! If I were her I'd be more worried you were there. Unless she is morally corrupt (oh yes she had an affair with a MM so that answers that!)

BTW I also am meant to have a high IQ that didn't stop me from marrying a narcissist and putting up/believing his lies for 12 years. It means nothing really, especially when it comes to other people. My Dad is super bright, Cambridge graduate speaks 6 languages, saves companies millions in tax, but he has no street smarts at all!

There are some really lousy parents out there. It's quite possible that a person with no kids is more qualified to give advice than a parent who is neglectful, abusive, indifferent, or just plain clueless.

There are some dog owners who chain the poor thing to a tree and forget about it until one day it's rescued by a shelter or animal rights activist and they get all pissed off and say "who took my dog?". Someone like that is probably less qualified to give dog advice than a person who never had a dog but learned about them by reading books or on the internet.

There are some really crappy contractors out there. They build houses that are unsafe, or that get condemned because they weren't built right, because they're either incompetant, a crook, a scammer, or they just don't care.

That's entirely possible even though I never picked up on any signs of cheating in my marriage or any relationship subsequent to, or prior. How do we ever know unless we're with the person 24/7?

Fine! Consider yourself uninvited to my home, and the marriage proposal is off the table.
