However, the way the op posted, it was more of a pity party type post, and I think that is where the problem lies. No one feels sorry for her-stealing moments with another's man....another woman who cares for him, has his kids and takes care of her family...I highly doubt what he tells the op about her is the truth.
This, my friend, comes from experience. Only, I never felt sorry for myself. I did learn a lot about this type of situation, and it is invaluable experience. The only thing that I can say in my defense is the person in question was "going through a divorce"... Didn't take me long to figure out that this was just a line from him...I'm quite sure I never broke his heart when I left, his wife is the one that had his heart....sadly, I'm sure that I wasn't the last.....
jms...........
Men lie about wives, make them out to be terrible, then stay with them, to get their cake and eat it, too. Wives can be great with the kids, the family, be boring, or just know the guy.
After years, he steps out. Does the op think the wife doesn't know? She knows. She puts up with it and expects him to come home. She may not say anything. If she's fed up, or he takes it too far, she'll divorce him.
My ex left with a toothbrush and hit the "no-tell" motel. I filed for a divorce. He didn't want a divorce, he wanted to play without guilt, then come home. Bullshit.
He tried to play me, during the divorce and tried to get me back, after he married the girlfriend, when the ink was barely dry. He tried again, after he was bored with her.
The man would screw anyone who fell for his BS. He's on wife number 3, fat, bald and takes Viagra. He's never lived alone. Maybe he'll learn to appreciate his current wife.
Our daughter is getting married in a few months. He'll seek me out, stand around like a 12-year-old and I'll roll my eyes. His wife will ask me about his past and why his daughter is not enamored by his charm, like everyone else. My daughter and I know the real man, not the suave, charming dude he presents. I hate that guy. That's the guy who sleeps with everything in a dress, needs an ego boost and we can't stand.
I feel sorry for wife number 3.
