Pep - He is 18 years older. She won't stick around when he is sick or old, after all, she left her family when things got boring.

His extra money has run out, so we will see.

Neither OW nor her husband have filed for divorce yet.

When WH came by Friday, I asked him if he was injured. He seemed to be limping. He said that he was just fat. He is even fatter than when he left and looks terrible.

OW's husband looks GREAT on the Harley!!!!!

he's probably aware of this , somewhere in the back of his mind ...

and so reveals the source of the
"are you sure you are done with ~us~? "
question

Like you said before, WH is a quivering piece of jello. He can't stand to be alone. Now that we are almost divorced, I think he is realizing what his future holds.

Wow I could have written your post. OW is 17 years yonger than WH.

He says they are happy. They are living together.

OW nor OWH hasn't filed yet. I did.

I think she wants WH, part for his $$.

Wish I could see into the future to see if it lasts or not, and if he'll regret what he's done.

Just angry right now.

I also could've written your post, except about the Harley... OW's XH does look great though, with his new wife, new baby, and new home!

OW is 27 years younger than my XH. I haven't seen XH for several years, but heard from one of the checkers at the local grocery store last winter that she'd seen him in the store limping and looking like he was in pain. He's also gotten really fat.

Also, his lawyer told me at the divorce hearing (at which XH didn't appear) that OW cleaned out XH's checking account and took off.

I hope this is alright to ask.

Believer, I read the post where you gave the anniversary Harley to the OW's husband. Did you ever post your husband's reaction when he found out?

Thanks everyone. These affairs hardly ever last, even when the infidels are similar ages. Throw in a big age difference and the chances are zero.

My WH always insisted that OW wasn't interested in his money. For someone that didn't care about money, she sure helped him blow it all.

WH hasn't mentioned his Harley, and I didn't bring it up either. I'm sure that he knows though.

Neak - The OW's husband is a cutie-pie, but too young for me. We continue to be good friends. He will make some woman a nice catch. He is a hard worker, lots of fun, takes care of everything around the home, cooks, spends lots of time with his daughter. I think he will do just fine.

It REALLY is satisfying to see him rumble by on the bike. He was in Iraq fighting when the affair started. He came back to no wife and no job. He deserves something nice in his life.

Believer I hope you are right in that the A's won't last. That would be my greatest joy to see WH give up his family etc. and then he has nothing left in the end.

Don't want to be mean, but I'm hurting right now.

Believer, you are a very generous person. Taking something so terrible in your life and doing something good for someone else. May God alwyas bless you!

Catgirl - the affair hardly ever lasts. Even when it leads to divorce, the WS very seldom marries the affair partner.

Neak - The OW's husband just drove by in his truck with his daughter, and he was looking GOOOOOOOD. He is a real man. But he is not a Christian. That is the funny part of all of this. WH, OW, and I are all Christians. OM is not, and he acted the best through all of this.

He's a Christian, he just doesn't know it yet. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

(So is WAT, but don't tell him that.)

Seriously, it is sad that the church stats for adultery vary only little, if any, from the world as a whole. So we can never let down our guard, or think ourselves immune from sin, no matter who or what we claim to be.

Certainly one of the most selfless acts I've heard of lately. Believer, you are one of a kind in a very special way!

RT - Well, quickly, OW and her husband were neighbors of ours. OW's husband went to Iraq, and my WH was walking our dog by her home. She was out on the porch crying, and WH went to talk and comfort her. That's how the affair started.

So now, they have been living together for 3 and a half years. She left her husband and daughter. He came back from the war to no job, no wife.

I finally filed for divorce, but WH didn't want to let me stay in our home. He wanted to move in here with OW. I told him I would NEVER accept that. Also during the affair, he spent over $200,000. of our retirement money.

So there has been a stalemate going on. Suddenly one day, he wanted to talk about an agreement. He finally agreed I could have the house, and his new (well, it was new at the beginning of the affair), 2003 Harley Roadking. It was something he had wanted to buy for several years.

So, I gave the bike to OW's husband, and he said it was the best trade he ever made - his WW for a Harley.

Believer,
Your WH stayed with OW. I was not aware.

I was hoping beyond hope that A would die out and WH would wake up, but your WH proved that might never happen!
