These "sorry" people have smoked everything but their socks.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

O'hana means family, and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten.

An article on "How Entitled I Am" and reads like the storys on TOW. In fact seemed alot like one story I read there. skeptical

Nothing new or interesting, just the same old boring, horrible, selfish blah blah of infidels. sick

Big long story and one brief mention of the hurt she caused the BW. In fact, she's more concerned with OW#2. All of her lessons learned were about what she did wrong to get hurt herself. She is a TOW for sure.

Carmen Sutra (ha flipping ha)? My H's ex-OW is named Carmen. I wonder how they found her!

This story is not about my H, though. Must be one of her other OM.

Reading stories from the OW is always the same. The MM is their soul mate, it was the best S they ever had, they are trying to save the MM from a bad M and his W. Cheating wh*res do anything to justify their skanky behavior. I can't believe how selfish they are.

or how incredibly stupid that these OW are. When I read some of these comments they think they are in a romance novel. It is amazing how needy these OP are and believe this garbage that these wayward spews.

I think it may be different for men than it is for women. My WW is smitten by a guy who has a bit of a reputation for being somewhat of a predator ("13th-Stepper," in A.A. language). I don't think he believes a word of what WW says. I think he's in it for a quick-and-easy piece of . . .

ITA. There is not one thing special about this OW and her A with a MM. We've all heard this same story told here ad nauseum.

She is no different from any other OW. They are all the same. And I bet she will wonder why she can never find "Mr. Right", and never take one ounce of blame for any of her failed relationships.

Yup to what everyone's said. But then, we've all BTDT.
So distressing to see so many OW telling their sorry tales on that yahoo page.

I added my two cents to that thread as well. Doubt any of them will listen, though. They're in lurve...

I beg your pardon, rightthere? We've all been where? Not in OW shoes, I can assure you.

Edited next day while hanging my head in shame. Please see my apology to righthere further down this thread.

Did any of you read this article: http://www.powderroomtalk.com/2009/12/top-6-reasons-taken-men--are-so-alluring.html

The link was in the original article and it's on reasons women go after married men. OMG - how terrible a woman has to be to fall into the OW category!!!!

Nope I've never BTDT. I would never do that to another woman and better yet my body and my love for myself is too great to be ANYONE's dirty little secret. I would never hide out just to have crumbs from some other woman's man. Never had, never will I can guarantee that.

I don't want to throw cold water on the party, but Dr. Harley says we are all "wired" for affairs. If our EN aren't being met, we could find ourselves in an A before we're even aware of it.

My WW was very big on "healthy boundaries," "doing the right thing," being "fiercely loyal" and all that. Right up until the day she told me she wanted to leave and was having an A.

I do believe we are all wired for affairs.....but LTAs are a whole different animal....and if I was STUPID enough to cheat with a married man, I would not be STUPID enough to continue it and break up a family, No way, No how ....I beleive there is a difference...
