Mrs Food.

If your lawyer is somehow unaware that he/she can't use this thread against DF in court, you should educate him/her.

If you don't, and he/she does, and I find out you've used my posts against a BS in pain inflicted by YOU, I will sue you.

John,

You are the man. You need to know that you will find someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated. You will make the next Mrs. Dogfood very happy with what you have learned here. I love you like a brother, man. If you ever need anything, just give me an email.


Mrs. Dogfood,

May you reap what you sow.

Food:

Oh, of course. I'm sure it's nothing.

Maybe she's his well-preserved step mother.

Maybe she's his minister...

I'm sure it's nothing...

I'm sure that elevator guy is devoted 2 your wife, and wouldn't cheat on her...

...



I'm sure pigs can fly, 2. I've seen it! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Given enough rocket fuel, anything will fly for a short time, of course....

How does this 37 year-old loser elevator repairman keep hooking up with hot young girls in their 20s? He must be a smooth talker. Maybe you should stake out his place (that shouldn't be too hard) and get it on tape next time.

Could he possibly have arranged to exchange apartments or rooms with someone to have a rendezvous with your wife?

Sorry for being such a pessimist.

You may be assuming that because his car wasn't there, that he wasn't. I think Dog said that OM drives a BMW. The "Beemer" was probably in the shop, where they usually spend most of their time. Ask someone who owned one.

Well, if there is anything less reliable than a BMW then I would guess it’s a WW.

This is going to be my last post on MB. Again, I want to thank everyone here for their support.

I sit here an utterly defeated man. The pain I feel is too great to endure. Earlier, I took down our box of wedding items. I went through it, found our marriage certificate. Found the envelope with some of our wedding photos in it.
God, she is so beautiful. I cried my eyes out. I broke down and collapsed to the floor. This is too much for me to handle. She was the best thing to ever happen to me and I let it slip through my fingers.
To the MB crew, thank you again.
To my wife, I love you so much. I will miss you. Tigger's bounce! Take care of yourself, my love.
To the cats, take care of mommy for me. I will miss you too.
The the OM, You win. Oh, and I was never going to sue you. It was discussed, but nothing ever came of it. Take care of my wife.
Goodbye everyone.

Dog

i do wish you would stay here

i have, and still do at times, feel as you do

like you, i continue to love my h with all of my heart...and he's been gone for a few years

my situation is no better and maybe even worse than yours

being here though helps me

it sounds like you need a place to come where people care about you and undersand what you are going through just like i do

Dog,

You didn't lose in this, your wife has quit. There are many things in this world we can't control and this is one of them.

This is a horrible thing to go through. It's a ride that no one wants to be on but is so difficult to get off of.

In my own story my W left to be with the OM too but she did come back. When she left I had to let go but I didn't have to give up. Use this time to figure yourself out. Mourn you marriage if you need to but don't give up on yourself. Marrige is a part of life, not the other way around.

Maybe your W will come back too and if she does she will come back to a stronger, better man.

I'll say a prayer for you tonight.

God Bless,

Doug


in His grip and holding on.


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I was intended to be.

Not so! You've hit a bump. A BIG one, but a bump nevertheless. It's time 2 2rn adversity in2 oppor2nity, and you can do it!

There is no greater emotional pain that one person can willingly inflict on another than having an affair. There is no denying your pain. You can work though it, though. And you'll come out the other side of it a better, more loving man, Food.

God, she is so beautiful.

I'm sure she is. But right now she's behaving monstrously.

Quote
I cried my eyes out. I broke down and collapsed to the floor. This is too much for me to handle.

You will make it, Food. You really need 2 hang in there as much as you can right now. For you. Email your friends. We've been through what you're going through now. It is temporary.

Quote
She was the best thing to ever happen to me and I let it slip through my fingers.

As I recall, she ran through your fingers. You let her go because you can't hold on2 someone who won't stay.

Quote
To the MB crew, thank you again.

Your welcome... ...but we're not done with you! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

You will survive, Food. And your struggles will be rewarded.

Quote
The the OM, You win.

He probably does think he won. But cheaters really don't prosper. You will win in the end, Food. Your STBXWW might win at some point, 2. But not now. Absolutely not now.

Quote

I would say something like "pound sand up your [censored], Elevatorguy". But I won't.

This is what reachingout had to say today. He finally gets it.

Quote
As my week of relief comes to an end with the WW coming back from her fantasy trip today ...


I finally get it

This week has been a gift from God - I now understand.

My children and I will be just fine with or with-out WW,
And the only way that I can ever move on is to be ok with that fact.. After that its all gravy.


No Fear !!!

Only Confidence.

This feels great.. I don't "need" her

If at some point she wants to give up A and NC OM. then I can decide if I want to try again.

WOW -- What a relief --

Thanks to all to help me to understand.
