I can always count on you to make me smile but today you made me laugh...then I read Daisey Mae/Pete's Mom's posts and I've laughed out loud all afternoon!

I have actually BEEN in a similar situation, sans having an affair....I have had a similar conversation with my ExH's wife, she complained about him, etc. I listened to her (It only happened once), I didn't advise her, but I did listen...I suppose I got some kind of twisted pleasure knowing that it wasn't ALL ME, that he was doing some of the same things to her. I certainly never had any inclination to try to talk some sense into him, I didn't care that much about their relationship...still don't.

I would stay out of it PM, I would try, as amicably as possible, to cut out the conversations with your X's wife.

Just my 2 cents.

Pete's Mom, Daisy Mae, whoever you are.... if you really want to write a letter, go ahead. But address it to them BOTH and request, at the end, that your marriages stay separate from here on out for the sake of harmony (or for Pete's sake!! LOL!!! Couldn't resist!)

No more discussions with ex's wife... unless it is about Pete. That should put things back on the right track.

Please note that MzDaiseyMae alias Pete's Mom accuses everyone else of being "bitter" and having "resentments," so I found this diatribe most amusing:

Quote
I dont know if this is the right place for me, there are so many people here who are so caught up in their own problems, I don't see how they can be of help to me. I really am upset by some of the responses I see in these posts. Bitter, angry people. I was not brought up that way. If someone commits a crime or sin against you, it is not ok to keep that sin going by treating that person badly. I may have to rethink my presence here.
[DaisyMae thread]

That shore sounds like a resentment to me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
