Funny you say that. I always hear that OP is a downgrade from DH/DW. What else do you expect from a person who dates married people. Guess they can't get anyone single, so they have to prey on the low hanging fruit that are not working on their marriage, and have poor boundaries.

You know wheels, not sure why it makes me so giddy that she is fugly. Women are always comparing themselves to other women, so I guess I feel better than if she were beautiful!! But why do WH/WW choose people that are a downgrade? Cause if I were to have an affair and sacrafice my family, you better believe the OM would be gorgeous!! Haha(JK)

I'm a decent weight, and lots of people say I'm handsome and charming. I have a good job with great pay & benefits, a nice home, and work hard to raise good, respectful children.

OM was severely overweight, unemployed, and lived in a tiny shack, occasionally with his estranged wife. His children have severe personality disorders from his neglect.

Pretty much the typical story. People affair down.

Don't want to speculate what that means about my FWW since he was married, too.

Affair partners typically meet only one or two needs very, very well. OM was unemployed, so he was available for far more conversation than I was.

Maybe I am not an appropriate one to respond to this but here goes.
Sunshine, how do you feel inside now that you know? the reason I ask is this, when I suspected that my H was having an A, when I had dreams about it, the face was blank, then I got to find out is was a "FRIEND", now every time I have dreams, there is that face I know so well, I wake up in a rage, then my mind starts going over all the crap they pulled right in front of my face-God, I really wish it was someone I did not know-it was less painful when the face was blank.

I am so sorry Teaser 8! Maybe because I do not know her it is easier for me. If my WH had an A with one of my friends, it would be double torture. Seeing the POSOW's face, doesn't bother me, at least right now, but if I knew her personally and she was a 'friend' of mine, I would be devestated. The more I read other peoples' stories on here, I understand how similar circumstances make people react differently. Meaning, what bothers or affects one person a certain way may not bother or affect another person at all.
