p.s. to 2long -- Take the blog with a grain of salt. Nowadays, I mostly find it an interesting self-portrait of OW. She is now saying she was used for her "beauty" as a "sex object."

Beauty!?! Gag me with a spoon!

Just because you left the theatre, doesn't mean you don't want to know what happened at the end of the movie.

Interesting metaphor. When I leave before the end of the movie, it's usually because I was tired of the drama...

Okay, enough of that.

I haven't seen the blog (don't know if I should have). But really, is it healthy 2 want 2 keep tabs on this unhealthy relationship?

AMM,

A metaphor of a different color:

When passing an accident on the opposite freeway it's called rubbernecking.

It slows you down.

And it puts you in danger of having a serious accident too.

Better to keep your eyes on your own road and concentrate on where you need to go.

with prayers,

Mojodiva, Bellevue, Orchid,

Check out the blog. It's long and tangled -- but OW/wistress is now complaining how miserable she was for the whole time, how brutal the A was, and how nobody treated her right. She is maliciously exposing XH's sexual problems and limitations, and the intimacies of their "married" life -- all the while talking about how much she "loves" him!

HEY EVERYBODY OUT THERE! THE AFFAIR REALLY ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT MAY LOOK, OR AS GOOD AS THEY'RE SAYING IT IS! DON'T TRUST YOUR EYES! DON'T TRUST YOUR EARS! TRUST THE MB WISDOM! IT REALLY WAS A FAR, FAR BETTER PREDICTOR OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING, AND WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, THAN ANY OF MY FRIENDS, HIS FRIENDS, OR HER FRIENDS! MB IS MATHEMATICAL! MB IS ORACULAR! IT REALLY WORKS!

Happy as a clam in Palo Alto,
A.M.M.

Laughing my a$$ off!

Karma bus on the way!

Point taken, Aphelion and 2long -- but do cut me a little slack!

I'm very infrequently on the MB board nowadays, and only hear occasionally about the car accident in progress. Mostly I am focusing on my new life, so long in coming together.

But after going through the fake wedding for 300, the betrayal of my friends, being abandoned by acquaintances, everybody's opinion that the bus was going in another direction, it has been truly, truly amazing to watch the mathematical precision of the MB principles at work. Everybody said something else was going to happen -- and it didn't. Everybody on the board saw it straight.

There is something harmonious and relentless about laws in motion, a Euclidean beauty to it. Plus, this is still my life, even from a distance.

And I do keep my distance from the drama -- and Mojodiva, I'm in awe at the mighty karma bus.

“Point taken, Aphelion and 2long -- but do cut me a little slack!”

Everyone wants you to be joyful. Live a good life. Can’t help but be a little concerned.


“Everybody said something else was going to happen -- and it didn't. Everybody on the board saw it straight.”

That’s ‘cause we are so massively cool.


“There is something harmonious and relentless about laws in motion, a Euclidean beauty to it. Plus, this is still my life, even from a distance.”

A mathematical certainty and precision to it.

Well, except when it comes to the OM in my FWW’s case. He seems to wear a Teflon super costume. An ability to renormalize space-time. Can’t figure it out, actually. He seems to be somebody’s favorite son.


“I'm in awe at the mighty karma bus.”

LOL – does it make unscheduled stops?

With prayers,

PS: You can’t get mad at me, you know. I still intend to collect on that lunch. Then you can get mad at me. But whatever it is, it’s 2long’s fault.

I haven't chimed in here before, and I'm not privy to the whole story, but to carry on with the car wreck metaphor...

You guys have to admit that there is a certain visceral pleasure in rubbernecking the fool who ran you off the road 10 miles back and nearly killed you as well. There's a great deal of satisfaction seeing someone finally get what they got coming to them.

LOL - not trying to thread-jack but I had that very type of thing happen once. Dude raced by me in a snowstorm, flipping me the bird as he went by. I was moving at a safe speed for the weather - this clown in his fancy SUV must have been late for a fire or something.

3 miles later down the road, I saw said fancy SUV teetering on a snowbank - stuck. Normally I would stop to render assistance to a stranded motorist, but considering how rude he'd been when he nearly ran me off the road... I just smiled and waved as I went past him at the same, safe speed.

There is poetic justice, Karma, what goes around, comes around... payback... call it what you will - but it IS there <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

In my case I don't revel in my XH's pain... but there is a bit of satisfaction knowing I was right all along. I just keep it to myself. God forbid my gloating should come around on MY Karma bus... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

OK.

So.

When does FWW's bonehead OM receive his load of karma?


I'm waiting patiently.

...

Waiting

You mean your OM's karma? I suspect he IS his karma. You just aren't close enough in to see the fine print.

That's the beauty of it, Aphelion. What my story means is that you don't HAVE to see it. You just know it's there. It's a law. Like gravity.

"You mean your OM's karma? I suspect he IS his karma. You just aren't close enough in to see the fine print."

Yeah him, it. I fixed the earlier post.

Well, if he is his own karma it certainly is nice to be karma. His life has not been affected by any of his myriad adulteries and betrayals in the least.

His life goes on unchanged. Rich, handsome, exciting, expensive toys, trophy wife (an OW from his first M), half dozen doting children, big shot job, world traveller, decorated war hero, ex fighter pilot...

He lives in part off the pain he causes others. And there have been no, none, nada consequences in all the decades he has been living this way.


I'm irritating myself. Time to stop. Normally I think not on him. I've gotten good at ignoring his existence. But, sometimes I get myself overstimulated. Sorry.


I sometimes wish I could pray in good conscience for, well, never mind...

with prayers,
