This weekend, we watched the Jennifer Garner movie, "Catch & Release" and the film is about a woman about to be married when her fiancee is killed. As she's dealing with her grief, she discovers her fiancee had a secret side life with a mistress and a son.
At one point in the film, the mistress claims (something to the effect) that when the fiancee came to visit her, he acted like a little boy out to have fun with no responsibilities. He didn't have to be good and had no rules to follow.
Sounds like many of our stories here. WS have their fantasy world with OP where they can do what they please, be who they please and don't have to follow the "rules".

I guess it probably sux for them when they get caught???

Like Robin Williams once said: "REALITY..WHAT A CONCEPT!"

Yep, fantasy world. No responsibilities. That's why when the bubble bursts and real life leaks into their pretend world, things fall apart. They keep fighting because they think that they can get that fantasy back, but they can't.

Reminds me of when my ws's ow asked him if they just couldn't go back to the way things were before i knew. she was willing to have him on the side if that was her only option. it's pitiful, really. i give my dh a little credit, really, as he told her that wasn't possible -- because I KNEW. duh. i always said ow was stupid. LOL
