I know this question has been asked before,

Why does the WS want to take the OW to Vegas and not his wife? Why does he take her to movies and dinner but not his wife? Why does he take her on other trips out of town, but not his wife?

It hurts so much to know or think that he thinks so little of me that he does not want to spend time with me. I have suggested we go out of town, I have tried being there for him. He rejects me. What did I do that he does not want to be with me? What makes her so special?

It bothers me so much that he wants to spend time with her and not me. He will take her places and make her feel special and I am the person he can disrespect

Sue,

I am the BS and certainly not a man. But I know how you are feeling. When this all started it hurt so badly that the one thing I was wishing and hoping for from my H (attention and emotional intimacy), was being given to someone else. I don't think the why's matter. It just is. The sooner we can accept that the better. It is all part of the newness and fantasy of the A. Don't think that it is something wrong with you. It isn't. It is just one of the many things about this whole thing that SUCK!!!

Take care, I hope you do get some answers, I would like to hear them.

Sharon
