Just checking in...My divorce was final Christmas week. Just bought a 2009 Shelby Cobra. Still kept my corvette and put a bid on a nicer house than I had when I was married. ExW income dropped substantially w/ only child support. She is penny pinching while I party like a rock star. I have a girl friend already. Life ROCKS! I WILL NEVER STAY W/ A WAYWARD, NOT IN THIS LIFETIME. My life improved and she took all the crap for having the A. My son disowned her. Won't even talk to her at all. Justice/Karma is served in my life!!

Glad to hear that things are working out well for you.

Don't go too crazy, we're officially in a recession.

Or, he could just be buying a lot of stuff and telling people about it in order to feel better about himself.

I haven't been on in a while because I got into an A myself and know how people on this forum blast you for Revenge A's. I was just thinking about it early on, mentioning it here, and getting ripped. It made most of the thoughts/images go away due to the intensity of the A. I will say that, but I probably fell out of love w/ my wife. Not the best tradeoff, but it quickened the healing processs.

I've been in an active Revenge A for almost three weeks. My WW knows about it, and has said to end it, and she said we'll just deal w/ it then move on. I know I spoke to her and on here about my temptations. Then, I did get involved w/ a OW while my wife was out of town to let me deal w/ her A. She was gone for three and a half weeks. She is very sad for what I did and feels like she caused it w/ her A. I will say it did take my mind off her A, and moved me into a weird situation as the OW is a high caliber person just like my wife and I. She wants me to be w/ her and not w/ my wife. Its not like a one night stand. We actually have a relationship already. I know people think a BS is vulernable and lacks judgement, but I think this is more than that unfortunately. Has anyone else out there gone through the Revenge A that actually turns out to be more? Its crazy and gets more complicated by the day. It sure has taken all those images away, but cause more pain for my wife.

Living well? I don't think so.

Just so you know, dude, I'm seeing a pattern here, and I wonder if you are too.

I'm sure Dude is rebounding big time and reacting in his own way. Whatever he does, if his attitude is positive (as it seems to be), he will get past it. Nice to hear from you Dude.

thanks all for the replies. My life has really turned around for the better. I got through the holidays just fine. I was def looking forward to 2009! The kids are doing pretty well considering the divorce. I see them as often as I can. Some times I still wake up in disbelief the ex-wife threw us all under the bus for some loser. She still to this day says it was my choice to leave and get the divorce. Both of my grandmothers said I had to walk, and walk I did. They knew I couldn't get passed it while living there w/ her having ZERO consequences. Now everyone knows what she did except our two young daughters. I will NEVER tell them, but Lord help her when and if they find out. PEACE OUT!
