"you should see the OW
She is something beautiful
She is the kind of woman that walks down the street and men fall off their chairs over...

OK if not that something very very very similiar...

what kind of person does that with his wife sitting next him.."

Men (or women in the opposite position) who say things like this clearly do not know what love truly is. Men like that, who claim 2 love someone who's beautiful, are really saying "I love how you make me feel. I love how I feel when I show you off. I love *having* you." They aren't saying "I love who you are. I love the things you believe in, because I believe in them 2."

And that's true even if they're monogamous. Even if they're married.

This guy needs 2 possess the OW. He's a collector, not a partner. It's beyond just wanting.

Remember the 2uote?: "Happiness is wanting what you have, not getting what you want."

"Why not infidelity? Or polygamy (if she approves)? "

Polyfidularity

Polycock (or the opposite in this case, I suppose)

Is "polyfidelity" a crock of doo-doo?

So, I've got 2 new terms for polyfiddlesticks, depending on gender of the polyfiddlesticker:

"pc"
and
"pwch"

Hi Everyone...

I shared earlier on this thread that yesterday I emailed Tracy, and got a reply saying that the amount of support that she had been receiving is wonderful, and that she is going to check out Marriage Builders. (faithful follower and moveforward also received similar replies)

Today, when I visited the Dr. Phil board I saw that Charles had posted under the name i_eat_crow...that conveys a bit, I believe. Tracy had also posted his email address which was something quite similar...she asked that people not be cruel to him if they chose to send him a message. I emailed him and quickly received a very nice reply...he confirmed that indeed Tracy had been receiving hundreds of emails, while he had received about 6...most of them scathing. He thanked me for my supportive email, said that he would never forget it, and had actually read it twice. He also stated that they would be coming here. Seems like a guy seeking recovery to me...

I know that everyone will get onboard in supporting this couple in distress. Imagine what an asset that a recovered Charles and Tracy could be to Marriage Builders...

Really, what I think is needed here, is for professionals not 2 just council people in alternative lifestyle choices, but 2 come out and just say it:

"Will you people just CUT IT OUT!? Get over yourselves, already!"

MrsW:

I think that's wonderful news!

I believe that ANYONE can recover and rebuild their marriage. All they need is 2 want 2.

The rest will follow.

Mrs. Wondering


Hello all,

I also just emailed Charles and invited him and Tracy into this forum. I know Charles didn't grow up believing in "polyfidelity". I'm sure he just found that lifestyle as an inviting and convenient way to "Cake-Eat", no worse than nearly every fogged out Wayward Spouse that's ever been around these boards. OK, maybe it was a tad worse, but not to such an extent that they can't recover....much stranger things have happened here.

I know if he and his wife show up here they will be greeted with kindness and understanding (and appropriate 2x4's when necessary). They are not celebrities ....they are a real suffering family just like we all were at one time.

I realize this thread started as a discussion about the subject rather than being directed at the REAL individuals involved. However, because they may show up, I request (not demand) that any hurtful words be edited out so this place is not unfairly pre-judged by such comments.

I love you

yes

Valentine's Day

Hey! Don't forget me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Is there room for me in that triangle...pentagon...or obtuse parallellagram?

I do so love Valentine's Day. Second only to April Fool's Day. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
