<BR>Okay, I know I can read each and every profile to get the information, but I was just looking for the short and sweet, bottom line on who we are here. I’m just curious about the ages, genders, betrayed or betrayer, and how long you were married when the affair started/was revealed/ended. So, lets just do a quick survey and sound off, okay? <BR>Hey, maybe Doc. H can use this information to help others somehow. <BR>__________________________________<BR>Female<BR>-Age 31<BR>-Betrayer<BR>-Married 8 years<BR>-Married 3 years when H cheated – I found out shortly after it started, it ended immediately.<BR>-Married 5 ½ years when I cheated, H found out 2 years later. Ended 6 months after I told H.<BR>

Hi.<BR>Female<BR>31 years old.<BR>I am the betrayed.<BR>Married almost 6 years. We have been togther for 13.<BR>Affair started in March 99 and still going on. I found out in June.<BR>OW is married/ getting divorse.<P>------------------<BR>Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them, but do not let them master you. The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. <BR>Viki <p>[This message has been edited by pondvj (edited August 09, 1999).]

Female<BR>-Age 27<BR>-Betrayer<BR>-Married 2 years<BR>-"Fell in Love" with a married man I work with, went on a business trip and that's when everything came out in the open. I now live 800 miles away from him and am still married. I think about him every day and although I want him I don't know if I could leave my husband for him if that's what it came down to.

Female<BR>45 years old<BR>Betrayed<BR>Married 25 years<BR>Will be separating 8/20<P>A Little over a year ago started noticing changes in H's personality. I was treated as "second class". He hated me. Soon it came out he was "seeing an old friend". We've been working over a year, but it churns nowhere. Thus, separation.
