This was in our local newspaper this morning and I thought it was so good I just had to post it in here for you guys and gals:

Quote
Dear Abby:
I'm a 32-year-old female who has been having an affair during the last year with my 59-year-old married boss. I am madly in love with him and divorced my husband eight months ago to marry him.


He promised to divorce his wife, but so far there is no sign of divorce. I'm beginning to think I'm a big fool. What do you think?

Dear Hot to Trot:
I agree.

Short, sweet and to the point. I love it!

And she probably got everything, too.

Or at least half so she still wins no matter what.

Well mine got half and the one who destroyed our marriage.

No, it wasn't funny and I was serious.

My ex got half of everything, I got all the bills, and I still consider myself better off.

This woman didn't "win"... she threw it all away.

Being a former-BS myself, I completely understand the feelings regarding the WS "getting everything".

But, this cheating wife did not get everything or even half of everything, because what is most important she has lost.

Her integrity and dignity are gone. Not to mention her self-respect, provided she had any in the first place.

Wow, what to say on that one. I keep telling myself that it's better to be the BS than the WS. I don't feel sorry for her at all, but can you imagine what she has to live with the rest of her life??? Looking back at the wreck she left behind will be a life long punishment...

Pariah,

I understand your pain, but it's still very early in your situation (sorry). What your WW says now will not be the same as what she thinks a year from now, or five years from now.
