Did your OM/OW suffered at all other than a week or two of love sick after the break up? It seems that most of them just walk away scott free after months or even years of fun. Former waywards, how do you feel about the fact that your spouse is suffering from constant triggering and your former OW/OM just walk away after having all the fun and now away from the mess?

You will not get many responses unless and until you tell us something about yourself and why you are here. We are not here to provide fodder for school projects or curiosity-seekers, or for people who wish to rub salt in our wounds, or people who are hear stalking their injured spouses or their affair partner's injured spouse. So who are you? What is your personal story? Chrysalis

Cafe Plan B link http://forum.marriagebuilders.com/ubbt/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2182650&page=1 The ? that made recovery possible: "Which lovebuster do I do the most that hurts the worst"? The statement that signaled my personal recovery and the turning point in our marriage recovery: "I don't need to be married that badly!" If you're interested in saving your relationship, you'll work on it when it's convenient. If you're committed, you'll accept no excuses.

I am not looking for detail answers, but a simples, "No, she got away scott-free and moved to another single man" or "Yes, he suffered as he lost his job and got into deep depression after the break up."

I'm in second year R and I don't see myself picking up the pieces - my FWH is picking up the pieces and doing a great job because our R is going great. Quote Former waywards, how do you feel about the fact that your spouse is suffering from constant triggering and your former OW/OM just walk away after having all the fun and now away from the mess? My FWH doesn't think about OW and how she feels - as far as he's concerned she never existed. Yes, my FWH deals with triggers (me) and picks up the pieces and puts them back together. The triggers become less over time as we fill each others EN and stop the lovebusters - 2 things that are crucial to a happy marriage. What's your story Request? GG D-Day #1 Aug/2007.

The OW in my case scurries off like a cockroach in my presence. She knows her place in the world. In between the cracks, in the dark. Get real. After the initial shock wears off, the BS and the WS soon realize that the affair is NOT about the OM/OW. The WS usually trades DOWN. WAY DOWN. Who cares what they are thinking - they are toe jam. SB Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support. Recovered. Happy. Most recent D-day Fall 2005 Our new marriage began that day. Not easily, but it did happen.
