I went to the gym the other night for my work-out and I was using one of the biceps toning machines when I noticed two females on the machine next to me talking about their love lives. Both women were in their early twenties and they were making remarks about a very handsome man who was training on the machines in the row right behind us. One of the women mentioned how 'hot' he was and that she had talked to him quite a few times already and then she mentioned that she found out that he was married and that he somestimes brings his wife along for his workouts. Then she proceed telling her friend that it makes her angry when she sees him with his wife and she said a couple of other sorta mean things about the wife.

Overhearing the conversation between those two women really made me feel sick to my stomach. Sometimes I wonder what has happened to this world? Aren't there any boundaries anymore to anyone? When has all this become acceptable behaviour?

I looked over my shoulder after I finished with my workout and I saw the young man with his wife, helping her with her workout and lovingly explaining things to her. They look like such a good loving couple and it made me angry that this selfish woman next to me would even think of destroying such a delicate bond between two people.

Kati...After reading your posts I guess that I'm still rather naive even being a FWW. There are truly evil people out there whose mission it would seem is to tear apart anything that is good and right. Someone mentioned on here the other day that they heard an advertisement about a dating service for married individuals looking to have an affair...I totally am accountable for my A and I know that it was wrong and I also know that I had control over getting involved with OM or not but I can't imagine "plotting" a scenario that would break a marriage up.

I guess this too is proof that the stereotype that men are usually the users is wrong.
