My FWH used printouts of this womans articles to try and show me how his and OW love was unique and special. In fact, they both showed people these articles to "explain their love" to people. Probably ones who didn't approve of an adulterous relationship.

They had been HS sweethearts and reconnected 24 years later a reunion. One that I was unable to attend. My H fell in ONE evening. Our marriage of 19 years and 3 children was tossed out, in ONE evening. So, part of me thinks the reliving of the youthful love did have something to do with how little he thought about it before starting the A. I mean, they had not even 1 phone call in over 24 years.......then bam! One night. But even if on some scientific basis, the "imprinting" idea is true, I still think it is an enabling crutch. Cheaters say, "See, it isn't my fault that I had an A with OW. My brain was wired for her in my teens! Our love was destiny." All that and more. Puke!

OW now has a child with my H. So we will never be free from her and will live a long time with CS. We are recovering and our marriage is much stronger, but what a huge price to pay.

If your OW call again, I would let OWH know and file a restraining order against her. You probably should have done this sooner, but I know that hindsight is fabulous.

I think Dr. Kalish is an affair enabler and her stuff is [email]cr@p.[/email] I am sorry for your pain and I hope OW will stop harrassing both of you.
