Okay....<p>So this couple is married for 6+ years and the H has an E/P A and leaves his wife. While he's out and about, he cheats on the OW (one night stand), but his excuse for cheating on her was she cheated on him first (which she did). <p>The H eventually gets back with his wife. Then 7+ years later the H has another E/P A with another OW, and once again leaves his W but this time D's her.<p>My question is this: Do you think the H will cheat on this new OW?<p>[ November 05, 2001: Message edited by: Resilient ]</p>

Gosh... ya hate to say "Once a cheater, always a cheater"... but... well, after THAT many times... and assuming he never learned how to take care of his relationships... I guess, yeah, I think he'll cheat.

let's make it 3 - 0.<p>Hypothetically, if the WS goes back to sleep with the BS - does this count as cheating on the OP?<p>Things can only get more tangled once things get rolling!

Yes, I believe he most certainly will, unless the cause of the cheating is dealt, with whether it be him or his marriage. Love Sally

Some particulars and clarity:<p>
  • 2 OW
  • Incumbent OW is a slut as well
  • Unlikely H will sleep w/BS again

I have to agree with the others. He is more likely than not, going to cheat again.. UNLESS he is willing to find a way to deal with the issues in his life that caused him to choose to have the A's to begin with. Without dealing with those issues, then there is little hope for him to stay faithful.<p>Karen

Where is Gnome De Plume? He is the man with the head for figures and can give you the mathematical version of this equation. <p>If the WS head is still in the fog, then yes the cheating chances run high. OW or no OW what do you call a WS who cheats on an ow? WSOW? Wow? OWWS? Swow? <p>Remove the 2 common letters from these initials and you are left with SO. Stands for: Significant other or So what? Or if you remove just one of the duplicate letters you get SOW, hm..... you got me thinking here. Not a good thing on a Friday night. Brain is usually fried at this time of the week. But since I have to come in and work this weekend I'd better head home now and stop this rambling...... LOL!!!!<p>L.

By my count he's cheated 3 times already. I'll go with the easy money and say he's due again.<p>How's that song go? "Once, twice, three times a loser...."<p>You already know the answer here, right?<p>Jeffers<p>[ November 02, 2001: Message edited by: jeffers ]<p>[ November 02, 2001: Message edited by: jeffers ]</p>

Jo,<p>That's sort of like asking if a serial killer is likely to kill again! I don't know, but I sure as hell wouldn't stay unarmed in the house alone with him, would you?? In other words, I wouldn't bet my life on it.

Maybe not right away, because he would get bored with new OW and leave her, convince his ex-wife to take him back, THEN he would go about repeating his pattern of scratching that 7-year itch... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img]
