It's strange, but once I get in a suspicious frame of mind, I start seeing things everywhere.

I know this might feel strange, but considering what we're all going through, it's not at all unusual that your suspicions might be "up."

Do you know this neighbor? If so, and particularly if you consider him a friend, why not just come right out and ask him who's car it was? I wouldn't do any "snooping" like checking out the license plates, unless you suspect a crime has been committed (and yes, perhaps adultery SHOULD be a crime! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> ). Because if you snooped and turned out not 2 have a good reason 2 have done so, you might feel somewhat reduced in stature! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Here's one that's a real killer.

I took two people to lunch after a training session I held with them. One, a young woman, discussed her relationship with her boss from a second job she held...how she was "dating" him even though he was married, but "separated."

The second woman, middle aged, listened and nodded, then admitted that she had met and started dating her current H while he was still married.

Neither woman had a clue that I was dealing with infidelity in my own marriage, that at that time we were in Plan B (and about to re-enter Plan B now because the OW is back in the pic).

Moral of the story: if you don't know someone's personal situation, be careful what you talk about. You never know whose emotions you will step on!

It might have been interesting if you had told them your si2ation... ...wonder what they would have said then?

It's sad that so many OP consider what they do as being so "harmless" 2 the BSs.

2Long,

Yes, it might have been "interesting" to tell them, but far too painful.

Yes, it is a crying shame that so many OPs think there's nothing they are doing wrong. How often have you heard someone say, "I wasn't the cause of the M breaking up; if everything was OK in the M, he/she wouldn't have had the A."

Yeah, right!!
