I found this posted on a regional/local betrayed spouse group support web site; These people, WS's, are truly out of their minds!

Hi-My name is Melissa and I came to one meeting but mostly keep up via e-mail because my kids schedule made it too hard to get to meetings. My husband had been doing the on again, off again, I love you, No, I don't since last October. I began taking a course so I could become employed full time and we could get divorced. He said he wanted it but denied infidelity. (Don't they all..)
On Saturday morning, my husband confided in me that he was sad because the woman with which he had the affair FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE his birthday. OK..You tell your wife about problems with your mistress?? Pass me some of whatever you're smokin'.
I was actually very kind to him. I explained that if she wanted to fix her marriage she had to cut him totally out of her life and treat him like a stranger because he was cancer to her marriage.
This really pissed him off. To make a long story short, he slammed the bedroom door, when I tried to enter, he slammed my arm and leg into it. I grabbed the phone to call 911. He jumped on me, knocked me onto the couch and tried to get the phone. I felt a slap at some point. My ten year old son came down the stairs and saw my husband doing this and began crying and screaming for it to stop. My husband threatened to take the kids saying that I was out of control. He assaults me and I'm out of control?
The police came, saw the marks on me and took him to jail. We're going to court today so please pray for me. I'm going to be there. After he was bailed out, he had deputies escort him to our home so he could get some clothes and he looked at me with pure hate.
Also, I called the woman he had the affair with. I don't like her, obviously, but her husband was very nice to me after all this happened and they also asked kids. I asked her if he ever did this to her. Apparently, my husband is obsessed with her. She didn't acknowledge his birthday (she's working on her marriage), he e-mailed her his dissatisfaction with that. She did not respond to the first initial, he sent several more filled with the F-word telling her off.
It was kind of healing to talk to her. She has obviously grown as a person. The affair was two years ago. She apologized profusely and told me how ashamed of herself she was etc.
So this is my life now. A f-ing episode of the Springer show.
