My FWH met the OW at work. He is a police officer and she came in to make a report. He needed to get more info from her and called her and then she called him and one thing lead to another.

My FWH met the OW in a tavern that catered to the "wild" crowd during the night and served reasonable "working man" lunches by day. My hubby was a bit of both. She tended bar and lent him the perverbial, psychological bartenders ear and that was that.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

When he came clean with me about my suspicions, he mentioned that she listened to him and stroked his ego (among other things.) Yep, the ol' wench snagged him hook, line and sinker. Good thing that my man's a big fish and got away before he was eaten to the bone. I hear that she is still a barmaid and trolling her [censored] off......LOL!

My 49 yr old exH met his 28 year old bimbo with the airlines. He wrote to me once that he just attracted these flight attendants and they "would come up and grab him". He told me there was a word society used for women like that--but he had discovered that genetically he is like that too. He needs lots of sex....YUCK!

Oh well...he is now living with the hooker. Imagine that. He wonders why the kids don't want to be near them. Hmmmm...wonder why?

OW1 was a high school friend from a close knit group of friends. Ended up like Peyton Place and caused problems with all the group.

OW2 is an old friend of WH's "partner in crime" (also part of old HS group) who is also M and cheats on his wife and drinks and drugs. OW is long time "friend" of "friend's" sister.

Looks like Peyton Place continues.

Met two while playing that damn internet game Everquest. Started having to take trips to nearby cities to meet her lover. Then met another at a local bar during several "girls nights out", then stopped this one (not really sure), but restarted it for whatever reason during an attempt at reconciliation. Who knows how many others she had. I know that she left town without telling me or anyone else while I was at a medical meeting. She said she went to a nearby city with her assistant principal (she is a teacher) for a spur of the moment trip. Left my two boys with a highschool baby sitter overnight with directions not to answer the phone. I couldn't reach my family for over 24 hours. Had to have her "best" friend go to our house to check and see if they had all been murdered. I can't believe what a trusting fool I was.

You know, you treat people how you are. If you are trustworthy you treat people as though they are trust worthy. Haha, even after the affairs, first 3 were all happening at the same time. I still trusted her. What a crock.

I haven't heard this one before...

FWH from large town in Mid-West. I'm from mid-size town in Northwest. We met in CA while FWH in Military. We moved to my hometown.

15 years later...

H's HS GF is in grocery store in MY hometown. (she did NOT know where I was from) Her mother had divorced in Mid-west and moved to of ALL places, MY hometown.

OW was visiting mom for a month, happened to be in the grocery store at the exact moment my H was. SHE recognized & approached him, they had a few drinks, and as they say.... the rest is history.

Now almost six months post D-day, I see the whole thing as a test...
Test of H's willpower to resist temptation -FAILED MISERABLY
Test of my ability to forgive- IN PROGRESS
Test of our ability to learn from this and move on... STILL BEING EVALUATED.

Didn't see this one.

She was his Physical Therapist. And she violated my patient confidentiality by looking me up in the computer. If she had tried to continue contact, I would have had her fired!

Naw, married people should not work from home--my husband met dozen of women on-line. I know he had a PA with one, went on dates with at least one other. I don't know if he was hooked up with someone in Australia--he was chatting with someone there and then went there.

Which OM??? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

OM #1 - Was a fellow student she met while doing her undergrad. I knew the pri**, he had a GF at the time the A was happening too, married her had a child with her... and not too long ago, his W discovered an old journal he'd kept with details about the A... so my WW, even at a distance, has the power to hurt and wreck marriages.

OM #2 - Was the most "pressing" reason I came to MB, about a year ago now. She met him at work, as her post-doc position put her in a new place, new people (generally younger, on the go, dating, etc.). He's Korean and extremely naieve. It started out as a friendship, her confiding her "marital problems" to him, not me in the least bit. They slowly worked themselves into an EA... not a PA. I started Plan A on d-day #1, and although it helped me understand my failings, it also created a very peachy environmnet for them to consumate their A, have it get ill, and eventually die its natural death, likely in August sometime.

OM #3 - Current flavor of the month is someone she met on the train she takes nearly daily. He sort of looks a little like OM #2, but clearly has defects - as most OP do. Such as: he's short (a big turn-off for her), he's certainly not wealthy by any stretch, she's lying to him, creating a "bad environment" that will blow up in her face, he's happy enough to be doing a M'd woman. Sounds like a load of fun. But the more I look at it and the fact that I'm doing a pristine Plan B right now, his days are very numbered...

I introduced OW#1 to my H!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Not realizing that having a married female friend would be such trouble to MY marriage! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> Strangely enough though, there was always something about her that I didn't trust. That "woman's intuition" thing is no lie, that's for sure! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

All of the other OW's were people FWH met online.

My WH met the OW at a friend's house (his friend, obviously, not mine). Also the friend is married, OW is her friend and was there visiting from away.

A wanna be jazz vocalist who tried to hook up with my man during practices and rehearsals. I am still so irked about the fact that they went out for coffee for MONTHS after rehearsals before they were "more than friends" and I never heard word one about it. I now understand that she tried to hook up with other jazz accompanists in the Portland Oregon area and broke up at least one other relationship, possibly two, that I know of. Anyone in this area want details, e-mail me personally. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />
