If YOU want help to learn to improve your future relationships I suggest READING ALL parts of this site.

Read the articles, get the books, listen to the tapes, read the forums.

But I can ASSURE you, the men & women on Marriage Builders do NOT need help from the OW.

theOW,

I would suggest that if YOU have questions about YOUR situation that you want help with, start a thread and ask. Otherwise, reading would be your best bet.

Understandably, an OW giving ADVICE to BSs here will NOT be well received.

Please stop threadjacking the threads of others.

OW

Please do not try to reach out to me because you are wrong and wrong in so many ways...

there is nothing you can say or do to justify the damaged that has been done...some which you will pay for later in life.

if it smells like s%#@
looks like s&*^
then it must be S*&^


and that is exactly what you are feeding us...s*&^ . What you have done is morally and legally wrong you better pray that GOD forgives you on your judgement day. I know my husband wants forgiveness...trying to go to church every week now since I found out ...it will not work. They say that god will forgive us for our sins but this for him will probably a tough one for him to even swallow.

Please stop commenting on this site until you come to real terms with what you have done. Take full responsibility not partial and I hope you have found away to apologize to the mans wife and gave her closure to this situation. You at least owe her that to her and her family! You stole precious moments her life that she cannot even account for.

Your are selfish and are looking for a BS to forgive you. You need to be asking the woman whose life you destroyed for forgiveness that will be your best place to start to truly show you have learned your lesson. Write her a letter!

BIG BRAVO to the mods!

To the {{{{{BW}}}}} who started this thread:
Pepperband's advice sounds good IMHO.
Get your legal ducks in a row to protect yourself and your children. Don't make the mistake of assuming your WH and/or the OW will never try to take from your children what is rightfully theirs.

To the OW:
Your need to pretend that you have no blame whatsoever in what you chose to do is IMHO disgustingly delusional.
Yes, the WH is responsible for his part, and no doubt there are some problems in their marriage (um ALL marriages are imperfect after all, right? That seems to be YOUR favorite excuse for justifying YOUR PART in adultery participation, eh?)...
but pretending you were simply a victim (of persistent flirting?) is pretty lame.
You could and should have informed his wife that he was flirting with you.
Instead YOU CHOSE to allow him to keep flirting with you and then YOU CHOSE to REWARD his flirting by having sex with him.
You are not a victim.

I can't help myself. This was such a great example of OW thinking.


For all those who feel a BW should accept OC in their lives if they want to keep there marriage.........would really condemn a BW and COM to having this OW around her H and her marriage in joint custody???

She barely cares about what she did to the BW by having twins by her H. She says she owns her part, but that is clearly not true. Encouraging BW not to spend their energy on anger towards the OW is ridiculous. She did a despicable thing and had children to cap it off! H's get their share of anger, OW deserve theirs, as well. It is not wasted energy.

This OW is not atypical, and sadly she is certainly not even close to the worst. This attitude is pervasive amoung OW, but the additional entitlement and victimhood makes them unbearable.

OC's come as a package deal with OW. No way around that. To say someone must accept the package if they want to save their marriage is naive.

The BW and the COM come first. Unfortunately the parents (MM/OW) set the OC up to have either no father or a part time father by having an adulterous relationship.

You've been asked as nicely and politely as possible.

continuous-----the same advice as previously to the OW given goes to you also!

Last warning---

This is a MARRIAGE BUILDERS website!!!!!!!!!

If you were to read the OW's words without looking at her title, they really can be a look into another person's mind.

Speaking for me... there were definite times when I wanted to "know" what the OW knew or felt. Here's a golden opportunity. Not the right place, I know.. but if you truly wish to help, theOW..then look around. There are places for it and maybe you'll make your situation into a lesson for others.

Blessings,

Eibrab

OW, Don't you DARE say anything about our R with our H and why and what we need to pay attention to and work on!

How would you even know what any of our marriages are like????

It's self-centered, selfish people like you that come into our lives and wreck havoc. You really have NO IDEA how much pain you cause us all!

I asked you once to stay off this board. I don't know why you keep posting, you must be getting some kind of thrill out of it!

Once more.......Get the hell off this board!!!!!!!!! I'd like to reach through cyberspace and kick your fat A*S!!

My brother is a software engineer and can have your URL by the morning. Is that what you want?

Hi! Thanks for asking, My knee is just awful, but I am getting around the best way I can for now with the brace they gave me.

Dr. gave me Percocet for the pain........those yhings knock you on your butt!

I am seeing an orthopedic surgeon Tuesday. I will have the surgery for the ligaments first, and while he's in there, he'll look at the fracture and see if I need a cast.

No, I didn't get the test results back yet. Probably next week.

I did something bad today that really felt good. I had H car today, I knew there was a picture of him and OW in the glove compartment (Had searched his car earlier) I drove to my Mother's house to visit with her and my brother.

I showed her the picture to my mother and she said (WOW! She does look like a [censored]-not pretty at all) I laughed. I then took a lighter and went to the curb and burned the picture till there was nothing left but a black stain on the road. It felt so good to watch her face burn away like that (him too)

So, I actually had a pretty good afternoon. Also went for a ride to the store with my Dad on his motorcycle-that's always fun!

How are you doing?

Hopefully the mods permanently took care of OW. Hurtmom, doesn't it feel good to do something like that? Burning that picture was very symbolic and empowering. Good for you! Sorry about your kneee. hug
