I totally agree.

Waywards would fall in love with a goat if it listened to them and talked to them...and then tell everyone about how "special" the goat is and how the two of them are "soulmates". LOL

How ironic it is that they usually do all this for someone so completely unworthy, so inherently incompatible, and so far beneath what they would have considered to be suitable romantic partnershiup material under "normal" circumstances!

And if the WS ever comes out of the fog, it is poetic justice that he/she has to live with this bit of knowledge.

Many a good man has failed because he had a wishbone where his backbone should have been.

We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot.

I'll see your underemployed bar trash and raise you a 48 year old career elementary school janitor.

Yes and no. It's not necessarily about size or money. If the OP values their reputation (professionally or socially) a BS can do a lot of damage.

I'll see your janitor and raise you a retired alcoholic serial cheater whose wife filed for legal separation but won't talk divorce because she wants him to pay till the day he dies, whose grown children avoid him like the plague and who gets to see his grandkids a couple times per year though they live within a couple of miles.

Oh, did I mention that since NC began with my wife that he has been shot at by a jealous husband and another married woman he was sleeping with shot at another married woman he was also sleeping with at the same time because SHE was jealous? And neither of them was the one whose husband went off on him...

Or that my wife had already come to his rescue once before the affair when he drove off the road in a drunken stupor and had no idea where he was? (He was 20 yards short of his driveway, BTW)

Good thing these folks are bad shots...

Maybe not.

Well, for him it's good...

It is not at all uncommon for a person to affair down. Men want to save a damsel in distress. Women think they can save a loser by fixing him.

But let me ask, would you feel better about losing your wife to an unemployed hog caller or a world famous playboy? Would you feel better about it if she was banging Brad Pitt instead of Bubba Biker?

Also keep in mind that if one of the APs is affairing down, the other is affairing up.

Insanity knows no class.
Neither does selfishness.
And adulterers have no class.

<Line deleted because nobody wants to know what I really think>

That's my nickel 'cause 2 cents ain't worth nuthin' anymore...

Neither is a nickel, but it's all I got left...

If my H was banging Brad Pitt or Bubba Biker I'd be very afraid. If he was banging Angelina Holie or Bottom B Betty is there much of a difference?

Lol, Isn't that below the "median" intelligence, Eisenhower did defeat Adeli Stevenson who was considered to be too intellectual however.

Hey, folks, Eisenhower was smart enough to corral all those egos and coordinate things during WWII. I think that qualifies as smart enough, ya know?

Wow, I thought I was definitely the winner of this macabre "contest" {geez, thought that 4th marriage/3 adulteries/2 abandoned kids thing would put me easily over the top} until I read about the POSOM with the assasination attempts and the dude with only 1 front tooth........

Scary!

My xWW might be happy to learn that selling her soul to become the 4th-choice wife of a 5th-rate impotent dumba$$ only qualifies her for 75% percentile in the effed-up, off-the-deep-end, pathetically insane wayward-wife follies! rotflmao


xWW:
Secret LTA w/ thrice married OM at her workplace; EA/PA starts ~ 2005-6
Files & completes D - 2007, OM/OMW#3 D - 2007, Affairage - immediately thereafter
Disappears in 2006 w/o even a goodbye to anyone, Never a paragraph of real truth ever spoken
Me/xBH:
M "for life", Suspicions (denied) & desperate Plan A latter-half '06
1st D-day 1/07, full truth D-day 7/08 (all via 3rd parties)
NC w/ xWW 8/08-date, better off w/o unrepentant vileness, betrayal, & rampant deceit in my life anymore

At present, no man wants my soul sucking harpy of an ex-wife.

My friends refer to her as the funnel web spider waiting for her next victim, however her shelf life is up and her reputation preceeds her.
