Co-worker, who befriended him while he was working 2 hours away from home. Started with invites to dinner (with her H home) to dinners alone while her H was away...And I trusted him. Believed that people could be friends with opposite sex. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Teary]" title="" src="graemlins/teary.gif" />

coworkers - with to much free time on their hands!! The entire A took place at work. Never met outside of work. That's one reason I didn't detect it. Still work together too.

co-worker. The way companies these days encourage their employees to be so chummy, makes me ill. Socializing outside of work...the company-sponsored "leave your spouse at the house" parties...ugh. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by wytchywoman: <strong>I am the OW.

If you are currently destroying a marriage (yours and/or someone else's) then GO AWAY.

My H's OW was my former best friend, married to his partner/friend, also his employee and our neighbor (yes, all the same person). Very sad situation.

A.A./N.A. recovery meetings. The upper floor of the club where 12-step meetings are held is a "social" area with pool tables, non-alcoholic bar, etc. He was going to meetings 5 nights per week. Originally he would come home right after the meetings. He then started staying after longer and longer because "I need a social life, too." He could have taken me to the social area, but always had a "reason" not to. He is 48 and she is 22.

funny, but the only thing my WH had in common with his OW was that they worked at the same place. Had they met any other way they would have had NOTHING in common. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

If, however, you are happy and content being an OW, and plan on continuing your affair, then please leave.
