Can women play too? WstbxH left me, a good looking, intelligent, well educated professional with a secure, good paying job, the house and everything in it including the cats for OW who is:

-6 years older than him
-anorexic
-dyes her hair and dresses like a teenager
-is so wrinkled from fake-tanning she looks like she's 60 years old
-had some sort of condition which required brain surgery
-makes less than 1/3 of what I make (grocery store clerk)
-is a confirmed serial cheater
-family is a mixture of Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses. Needless to say all have disowned her due to her adultery
-is stupid beyond description

But I have to respectibly disagree with this:
Because in this same situation, OWH makes more money that WstbxH, has a beautiful house in a fabulous neighbourhood (that she left), has a wonderful supportive family and is still friends with all of their friends, and is taller than WstbxH and still has all his hair.

So they definitely both traded down - for every aspect of their lives there was to trade. Spouse. House. Status. Standard of Living. Disposable Income. Friends. Family. You name it, they took a hit on it.

But they're each with their soulmate now so that makes it worthwhile, right?

Remember there will always be some one out there looking to take your title. Just as in the Old West. Some one looking to have more notches on his stock, or to be the fastest.

All I remember is where a BH was left with a gun wound on the side of the road in the winter in the middle of now where.
If that poster is here can he refill in the gaps of my memory.

I hope you took that extra special offer you recieved on another thread.

Yeah, I got it on tape.

I confronted the "marine sniper" with a phone call and something that frightened him to the core as I read the logo on his jacket to him.

And to prove the gunshot wound is real...

This is the weekend before she dumped me off the side of the road.

I'd hate for you to think you made my day... but you did.

That's terrible! What is that, short pile rayon? Rubber backed? In shades of death gray? omigod....

It's the rug she had put at the sofa where I slept so I wouldn't bleed on her floor at night.

Pariah,

It is my understanding that your exWW or OM did not shoot you, but rather, you had a hunting accident when your own gun went off as you were trying to put it back into it's holster...Am I correct?

That you did, however, hear a conversation where WW was trying to get OM to kill you...

Am I close?

Mrs. W

Yes.

I recorded the conversation two days before I got shot and didn't get to retrieve the recorder until I got out of the hospital. I had to drag myself across the floor to her car in the middle of the night to get it. I got days worth of her fogbabble on it.

A week before that, I had her spare phone activated and got all of her text messages from OM and showed them to her at the dinner table after he tried one of his let it ring once to call him back codes and the SS picked up her phone and showed me the name on it's display. Things QUICKLY went downhill from there.

The gun malfunctioned while at a Wildlife Management Area in the middle of freaking nowhere. I truly think OM filed the safety sear down in that revolver.

The pix are after my third surgery and the condition you see my leg in is the condition she left me on the side of the road.

If I was well enough to drag myself out to the back fence, I was well enough to throw out.

Brutal stuff for sure, Pariah...Glad you survived!

Mrs. W

P.S. I've heard you mention your Near Death Experience and would love to hear about it if you are ever so inclined...

Oh no, I'll see you both and raise you a crack addict with hepatitis C, non employable because of her liver condtion, twice divorced, mother at 15, road hard and put away wet creature.

I absolutely had the hardest time wrapping my mind around this.. But I realized one day how true it is and that's why WH wouldn't come home. He could feel better about himself with her and control her.

I am the mere beautiful, brazen, fabulous, intelligent, upstanding, woman who put up with his "schtuff" for almost 30 years, loving him when he didn't love him self, and raised his children into amazing young people.

Yep he scored with crack ho.

Yeah, the counselor today said the OM janitor must have given her "admiration" and she felt an "equal" in the relationship (unlike ours implied).

I don't know, I almost feel this guy was semi-retarded or something (er, mentally-challenged). WW said he went shopping with her because "he would never go into stores himself". And a buddy of mine who knew him in high school said he didn't say a word in four years.

Maybe he is an excellent driver and only shops at K-mart. Jesus....

Queenie,

Sorry I picked the wrong name when I mentioned this earlier. I think my stroke is messing me a little.

I would think your WH Ho would have put you near the top of the poker stakes!

Hey, I think Queenie's Ho only comes in second cause she doesn't have any outstanding warrants against her and is not YET in Anger Management. H

Having said that, Our Ho was morbidly obese,
( 5 ft nuttin X 220 lbs) and was goth white. I was a well paid medical professional making well over 60 K per year. She daggone made shoe laces/ not that there's anything wrong with that. When she spoke about herself and my FWH, she would say
"him & I", "me & he". With a "We's thought about that", thrown in occasionally. I told her couldn't tolerate the chronic prevarication that I had put up with and she informed me that if anyone said she had an abortion, they were liars.....sooooo

Anyway, our counselors told us that the affair was affaired down because of a subconscious need for the WS to retain a modicum of respect for their spouse. Ity also gave them an easy out once the fog cleared. I believe it GF

Oh good, I NEED the extra money..

Ooops, forgot that one....

She has a suspended liscense with 4 outstanding parking tickets.

Ok, I'll give you on the weight.. However.... as far as the coloring goes. Crack ho has long black hair with the wings straight out of the 70's. Wears high heels to a lacrosse field, stomach hanging out and no bra and whatever else "woman of class" wear that she forgets or isn't aware of yet in her limited role of life.

Now wait a minute, that is an insulting comparison to autistic people! My nephew has Aspergers - has memorized the script to every Jim Carrey movie - and he has never stooped so low. Besides, KMart SUCKS!

My H's OW, last marriage, was a hard drinking, chain smokin' HOUSE PAINTER. She is one of those women who look like they smoke. She drank jumbo BUDS and told folks she "was goin to go tie one on!" Or as my dear father so tactfully put it, "she looks rode hard and put up wet!"

Wow, Melody, that's two things we have in common....

I think sobriety is the better of the two.

TJ to Mrs Wondering. I had a near death experience in childbirth eons ago. You know, infidelity, the gift that keeps
on giving....I had undiagnosed cervical tumors from HPV in the 70's, prevented the baby from "breaking thru". I will post it on other topics in a few days. FWH has a few days off, and I am inclined to be at his side til he finds an independent activity at home. So as not to keep you in suspense, the baby was delivered and is well today, just shy of 30 years, and my now H was not the donor of the HPV. GF
