I would love to call the OM and let him know that I know where he lives, and all but dare him to come within a whisper of my wife again or else.

My secret desire would be to take a baseball bat and place it against his head, but I loose on that one and go to jail.

Regarding the verbal though, do I loose, do I accomplish anything?

Thoughts anyone?

Man, that's tough, Waiting. I think we all have thoughts like that. Nothing wrong with having fantasies of revenge, as long as you don't actually act on them, of course!

Waiting:

Is the OM married? Imagine his wife thinking the same thing about your cheating wife and wanting to take a baseball bat to her head. Chilling isn't it? You have to put it into perspective. Your feelings about this are 100% normal, but you have to be able to understand that those "feelings" won't ever let you heal. The OM can't ever give you what you want.

Take it from me, I got to slice the OM's stomach open and leave him with a scar that he will have forever to remind him of me......that incidentally never help me "heal".

Ohhh.. lem! That is awesome!

Did you do a good close?

I want to k now that.

As for me, I'd love to invite all xh's owomen over for a stint of "coffee and cookies"...I'd bake them some "special" brownies...complete with xlax!

Since they made my stomach churn for so many months...I think it is only fair I'd do the same to them. I had this little fantasy...and it was fun!

Sad part, is I actually knew a girl in high school who did this to our high school football team. She got dumped really hard by the captain...gave them brownies in home room..by pep rally time, they were squirming and running...

I thought of a baseball bat upside his head, but again I know it was mostly my wife that started it. She could of stoped it at anytime to.

Right now I have no feelings for the man, as for my wife she hates his butt and he hates her to <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

K, this "running of the bowels" was a little more than I bargained for this early in the morning. Absolutely yuck. About ruined my breakfast. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Lem, I think your advice of seeing the other perspective is a good one. I KNEW what OWH wanted to do to my H, and he probably could have ruined H's life far better than any baseball bat would have if he'd pursued a court martial. It kept my thoughts (and those ridiculous dreams about pounding her head flat--amazing what one thinks while one is effectively unconscious!) in check. It also helped me to consider what ANY action I took against her would do to her children. I have far too much love for her kids to do any more damage to them.

It isn't just betrayed HUSBANDS who have these thoughts, guys. And yes, there are TWO players in every affair.

Thanks Lemonman,

The OM is not married. Divorced a couple of years. Go figure. I guess what I really would like to do is not take revenge. Well that is not true. My fantasy would be to do the baseball bat thing but I am way past actually doing that. Just a sick fantasy. I really try not to think about it much.

The practical side though wants to send him a message to say, back off and stay away or I may come around.

I know I think BobPure gave a pretty good verbal assault to the OM in their sitch. I could be wrong on who, but I thought I remember a comment like that.

Anyway, do I accomplish anything or is it a total waste of my time?

The odds are pretty high that any conversation you have with OM is going to be wasted air. Remember the posts about how strong 'illicit' things are...and how there is a chemical condition in the brain that causes things that are 'forbidden' to generate more of the endorphins and such in the brain? Well, figure he's just as 'in the fog' as your wife is...I know that OM in my case was...I tried talking some sense to him too, and it was a waste of time.

As far as wanting to do the OM harm...all of us struggle with that. I had my fantasies too...and as I'd mentioned, I had no doubt that had I chosen to act on them, it would have been quick, clean, and unavoidable. THAT is why my wife was soooo scared for OM on d-day when she thought that I was going to go after him...he blew it off, but she knew better.

Just hang in there friend.
