Hi mthrrhbard! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

So glad to see you post to me.

I do lurk and read here every so often, but most times it makes me pretty sad to see how so many new people go thru this.

I'm doing good and can't complain. Every day is a little better and new. Lots of hope for my future.

Very best,
Jo

I've read a fair bit of erotica and this is not the best I've read. I do think it's a fairly accurate description of a woman lost in the throes of passion that arises from infidelity, though.

As a case study, it's interesting reading, though I'm sure it's wildly overdramatized. The emotional intensity of infidelity, the "out of control" sense of it, is exactly why we are ALL susceptible to it.

It would actually be really interesting to read a true-to-life erotic account of infidelity on one of the sex boards. Complete with all the awful negative emotions and things that happen afterwards. It'd make a lot of the folks who read that stuff stop and think for a minute, I bet.

Good observation, Just J.

I'll share with you that this "sex interlude" the OW is describing in her story it almost a right-on-the-money match to what really went on with my husband and her in terms of the erotica. She (OW) simply flip-flopped who the adulteror was (herself in this case).

As many here know, I unfortuntely know this because I was privy to her very explicit voice pages to my husband over the course of 11 mos.

My spin on her recent publicly airing these sex fantasies is to somehow re-capture that forbidden-ness and excitment she experienced when she was unilaterally competeing for my husband, who's name IS Steve.

She portrays herself as a victim of being desired by men, powerless and without accountability for any of her actions or decisions. Just as in her sex story title info she states "She was tricked into becoming a sex toy". Give me a break please! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Thanks for your views, and God Bless. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Lv,
Jo

Jo,

You sound like you are really doing well. Do you have any contact with Ryan?

Did not read the link, been there done that.....
nothing this woman would do would suprise me....

As far as I am going....I'm getting there....still not divorced but did decided to go ahead with it before the court dismissed it....was tired of living in limbo....maybe done in Jan

the boys are doing well...OS is a freshman at the local community college...think he is trying to decide between a 4 yr school & Art school....he is living more with his Dad; however that is really a good thing for the most part....and it is only 2 or 3 miles at the most.....

YS is still the joy of my life; however teenage yrs are less than 18 mths away....not looking forward to middle school.....

My biggest challenge is knowing I will have to work forever......this long time former SAHM has a very hard time dealing with working because I have to ......remembering there won't be more money or a huge bonus to pay for whatever....silly things to whine about.....

But overall doing well....and hoping 2004 will be the best yr of this new century, so far I haven't been too impressed with it...for the most part I'm at peace...

wishing you peace & joy in 2004

Hi Put Out,

Nope, I don't think that OW knows about the potential for disease, nor do I think she cares based on past "sharing" experience. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Hi Resilient,

You must be resilient to put up with what has gone on. I probably shouldn't say much more than that on the subject. I do hope you find peace in your life. I hope Steve wakes up soon to find out who he is really hanging out with. And I hope that Vixen wakes up with a bad case of hepatitis.

Take care,

"She portrays herself as a victim of being desired by men, powerless and without accountability for any of her actions or decisions."

This woman is a piece of work. What little I read of the story convienced me that she is trash.

Hi S of WF,

She does have issues. I only got to see her [OW] once, in court during my anti-harrassment hearing against her, and after that I began to feel sorry for her.

My empathy for her didn't last long tho, but I still feel she has had a life full of craziness, all orchestrated and engineered by her.

I think she thrives on it, with in mind attention is attention, even if it's negative.

Jo
