Beautiful! It's all the things I think took over a year for H to figure out. He's swimming in it now, and it is not pretty. Hopefully, it won't be the end for us...

Can we start a chainmail thing and send this to someone else's WS so they can't trace it back to us (I guess it would be a lovebuster)

I send one to your spouse if you'll send one to mine!

That was the funniest thing I have read in a long time!!!!! I was laughing so hard my FWH actually walked over to see what I was looking at. He didn't want to read it though...

Funny? Yes. Completely on the mark? Totally! Somebody has really got a gift for words. I've got to print that one out.

Ha.. this was good, but it really needed to be genderless. In the modern day, more and more women are the adulterers. They're the ones trolling for partners online. They're the ones causing the hurt.

That's the only thing I didn't like about it.

I don't know how it would be written from a woman's POV.

Quite differently I would imagine.

It's nothing that hasn't been posted over and over again on MB, sans the profanities. It's amazing how a little profanity gets our attention though.

I would love to see the other gender version.

Here's one for WW's- and I'm a FWW....

Married means MARRIED, you moron

I've got a few things to tell you:

1. "He" is not the reason your marriage sucks. YOU are. If you spent half as much time paying attention to him as you do trolling CL for someone who would "understand and listen to you", your marriage would be a whole lot better.

2. Yeah, yeah, we've heard it a thouand times. All he wants is sex. First of all, that's probably a lie, because most cheaters are liars too. I'm gonna let you in on a secret, girl- if "all your husband wants is sex" it's probably because you make him beg and plead for it and then come through only twice a month. Married women tend to forget that sex is important in a marriage. Your husband comes home from work after working hard to pay the bills, and he even takes the time to play with the kids and throw in a load of laundry. He helps put the kids to bed and says, "honey, you just relax," and then wants just a little bit of fun with the woman he loves, to meet up with an icy brick wall. How about initiating sex for once? How about grabbing him, throwing him down on the bed playfully, and demanding that he f your brains out because you want him so much? Think about it. Way back when when you felt close to him- what were YOU doing differently? You were appreciative of all the things he does for you and your family. A thousand dollars says if you do that stuff again you'll get the same results.

3. Your kids are NOT the reason you're staying married. If you were THAT miserable, you'd leave whether you had kids or not. If you're not getting a divorce it's because YOU DON"T WANT TO. For whatever reason. At least be honest and don't try to feed people that tired line about staying married for the kids. Contrary to what you think, it doesnt' make you look like the poor suffering but honorable victim. You obvioiusly don't care enough about your kids to treat their father with enough respect not to cheat on him, and you dont' care about them enough to spend time with THEM instead of some other (probably married) man. THere is nothing honorable about putting your whiny needs ahead of your kids. If you really really cared about them, you would put ALL your time and effort into saying the one thing that means the most to them in the whole world- your marriage and family. Otherwise, you're full of ****.

4. We all know how bored you are. Poor you, someone should really come along to entertain you. WHat are you, 12 years old? If you're bored with your marriage it's because YOU"RE BORING, and have you stopped to thing that if you're bored, he probably is too. But instead of throwing a temper tantrum lie a 2 year old, he gets up and goes to work. Yah, he's having a riot dealing with a job he is frustrated with and a boss he hates. Marriage is hard work. Heck, life is hard work. Grow up and take some responsibility for yourself. You have a brain, USE IT. Put some thought into your marriage and some effort into your life and stop blaming him and being a baby because life isn't fun.

5. You're looking for someone "hotter, who understands me. ANd makes more money." Sure you are. Jerk. You think you look the same after 3 kids? But he always tells you you're beautiful and how grateful he is for the children you brought into your lives. What he wants is a woman who still loves HIM after 15 years and a few pounds, who is willing to grow and learn about eachother's needs even after all these years. And yet you run off with the first man who "listens" to you and pays you some attention and takes you to a fancy restaurant(so he can get into your pants).

6. Ane finally, if you're cheating on your husband, there's something wrong with YOU. If you're not happy with your marriage, how do you think sleeping with some slick-talking horny ****** is going to fix that? Exactly how is that going to make anyone happy? Have you ever actually heard of adultery working out really well for everyone involved? Are you actually stupid enough to think that you're going to be the exception to that rule? If so, you are delusional and you need professional help. Affairs are disasters- not some of the time, not most of the time, ALL OF THE TIME. Your guilt will drive you crazy. Someone WILL find out. YOu will NOT be able to keep up the lies and the deception. And it will all lead up to a disaster of epic proportions, which leads me to Lucky #7.

7. Here's what you can expect in the wake of your tryst:

Divorce- this is where your husband moves out and all you will receive is a piddling amount of child support and maybe some alimony. If you work, you may lose your job if you're screwing a co-worker.

Exposure- this is where everyone finds out what a promiscuous slut you are. And they WILL find out. Your friends, the moms you carpool with, your neighbors, your kid's friend's parents, your boss and co-workers. They WILL find out! Why? Because even if your husband is too embarrassed to tell, someone else will find out and will be more than happy to spread the word around. Gossip this good does not stay underground. Be prepared for the scarlet letter A.

Your Kids- this is where you totally lose respect of your kids, and you deserve to lose it. THey will realize in pretty short order that you didn't care enough about them to keep your ankles crossed. THey will see their father devastated and they will hate you for it. They will end up shuttling between their home and their dad's crappy apartment, and they will hate you for it. Every time they have to tell someone that their parents are divorced, they will hate you for it. And heaven forbid you decide to introduce them to "Uncle John"- they will REALLY hate you for that. If your kids are really young, you have a little time before all this hits the fan, but be warned, it's coming. THey will forever see you as the mother who didn't want her family to stay together. THey will know you can't be trusted, that you are weak and immoral and selfish. ANd they'll figure it out all by themselves, even if you never talk to them about it. Becuase your kids are smarter than you at this poing.

So go ahead and whine about how your husband doesnt' understand you and never listens to what you say. Do your best to convince yourself that you didn't have any choice and your husband "drove you to it." Start with the rationalizations and justifications now, you're going to need a lot of them. Remember that the best defensi is a good offense and start a mental list of all the ways your husband is deficient. Make sure to re-write the history of your marriage so that you can say you were miserable from the first day. Be sure to tell your husband that you love him, you're just not "in love" with him anymore. Deal with your guilt by lashing out at everyone around you. Above all, take no responsiblity for any problems YOU may have that caused you to be such a spineless slut in the first place.

Congratualtions, you've just joined the Adulterer's Club. See you in ******.
