I actually sent this to the OW while Ike was actively having the affair. She never responded, but at least I got the satisfaction of knowing that I sent it and that MAYBE she read it. smile She always said that she read EVERYTHING that I wrote. Morbidly interested, just like I was, maybe??

You always have to wonder how they don't see it.

But then again, he is now someone else's nightmare.

Hi Pep:

I believe I know exactly where that post has had the greatest circulation and I suspect that if you think about it for a bit, you will as well.

The first time I ever saw it, I was reading around that site devoted to the other woman. It has been two or three years ago.

Although most of the site is devoted to somehow, someway attempting to feel good about a really bad choice, that particular post stands out as a symbol that not everyone is deluded, some women know exactly what is going on.

So you then gotta wonder why they do it.

Larry

Because they are idiots.

When I first read this as a foggy WS, it just didn't register.

I thought it was directed at "other" deluded WW's, not me. I thought my situation was unique and that this only applied to the other WS's.

It's only when you get it, that you "get it".

I have noted a fair few of your posts and I wondered if it were possible if I could ask you a question privately? Just thought you may be able to help.

Don't worry if it is something you are not okay with.

Thanks

I am happily married today to a wonderful man who was, at one time, an "idiot"

and he is married to a very imperfect woman as well

Larry-

I've known for years where this letter has the most circulation.

Why do they do it? .... because they tell themselves "I'm special" when they are having doubts. They join a web site to declare themselves "special", above the rules or statistics or whatever.

I think this issue has Biblical implications.
The rules apply to you, but not to me.
I'm special.
My marriage vows will be sacred once he divorces her and marries me, because I'm special.
God hates divorce, but not mine, because I'm special.

and on and on and on

It's human to fudge our way to what we want and then want everyone else to play by the rules we fudged.

I'm not making fun of anyone.

Active WSs behave in ways that qualify them as idiots in my opinion.

Yes, that includes my FWW. She was an idiot, moron, dipsh!t, you name it.

You can write it off as a joke by an angry BH, but I really believe it.
