My H met OW when he was out riding.(I had sold my horse so that he was able to buy his "dream-horse" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> ) therefore we couldn't ride out together anymore. He met me riding too, 27 years ago.
He bought back "my horse" that I had sold and we ride together again. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

My H met OW at a night club. H is a singer in a Rock Band and OW is a really young groupie. That was 10 weeks ago, now he is filing for 'D'. Best of luck to them, I'm moving on with my life. After 9 years of marriage and 2 kids, he is really in 'the fog' to fall for that groupie trick.

Hopefully when the 'fog' lifts he will see all that he lost, and I'll be the last one laughing!

See my signature below. XW and OM reconnected after 22 years apart. They re-met at his mother's funeral about 2 years before D-day.

Whacked!!!

My WH met OW at work.

Think about it, they spent 5 days a week together, 9-10 hours a day, making calls to customers, started out as friends,etc

Here's one I haven't seen yet....

My WW met OM at her sister's house. That's correct. They sort of enabled her by submission.

OM was a friend of my SIL's H. He would stop in and see the BIL, while WW was visiting her Sis.

Although WW's family definitely didn't condone it, they didn't do a he!! of a lot to stop it. The in-laws told me that they tried to pound in into her that what she was doing was wrong. I told them that she already knew that. Even if they didn't want to tell me, they could have at least made her BELIEVE they were going to.

But then...the WW was always the "dominant" one in her family. She could make them "tow the line" very easily. Even her parents.

Over the fence! My husband decided to leap over the fence instead of sitting on it! LOL. OW was my next door neighbor and one of my best friends. I drove her kids to school every day, we had cookouts together, birthday parties, holidays. I guess she has a peculiar way of saying thanks!

My FWH manages a restaraunt and OW was one of his bartenders. That empathetic bartender's ear is a real b**ch isn't it? She had just left the father of her children because HE wouldn't change his partying, pot smoking, binge drinking ways... decided she wanted to become a "real lady" and said she thought my H could help her achieve that. Worked for a while... OW changed her hair, went back to school, etc. (good for her), but slowly but surely re-opened her old act. He broke things off and she's back with the father of her kids.

My husband met his OW at work. She was a nurse in his office and later became the office manager. "She was always there to listen". Well, I was there to listen too but you never talked....
