The reason I ask is because the FOW my H had his A with was my sister, and when I posted my story almost a year ago, not many people replied. I thought maybe it was because the OP was my sister, and maybe others could not relate to that... So I am just curious... Who was/is your FWS/WS's OP? Friend? Co-worker? etc...

I just wonder if there is some kind of "pattern" to who WS's generally cheat with.

on a thread below there's a link to a story in the startribune on infidelity. it has a link to a story about how affair partners met and according to it, the number one way lovers meet is on the job! friends is second, but looks like work is overwhelmingly the leader. relatives seems to be less than one percent, thank god!

i've followed your story mc, i hope you're doing okay lately! and that your family has stopped enabling your sister, but i guess i'll just save my thoughts for you! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Krista -- my family will always enable her. Especially my mom. I guess I have to just deal with it. (Easier said than done!!!) Because she has "issues", mt mom thinks she has to protect her... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Thanks for your reply.

Just out of curiousity... what does the "wny" stand for in your name? (I ask because I live in NY)

H's co-worker, they allowed her and her H to become my friends during the "flirtation" stage of their affair.

OW #1 (from fifteen years ago) was a co-worker, boss actually. She promoted him to another territory and he moved to set up business. New baby and I stayed at home to sell house and get things taken care of. FWH and boss lady were taking care of their own business, if you know what I mean.

OW #2 was an old college SH. They secretly met in another city for dinner and later in her Co. apt, well, you know. They had only been together five hours after not seeing each other for 25 years. What were they smokin???

Ow is a friend of a friend - H will not talk to friend any longer (she told them both off when she found out, and told me what she knew, H was mad about that)

In my case, it was my next door neighbour who lived downstairs in Army Housing. For my wife, it was someone she worked with the following year. Then it was someone she worked with - her boss; whom she eventually married.

mc needs your help,

in my case OW was a complete stranger.

This probably doesn't make much sence but I will explain in "short".

My H and I drove to a friends of ours and my H got out of the car to talk to him. I was sitting in the car and I saw OW standing on the other side of this friends yard. She was talking to another guy.
I noticed that she was "staring" at my H and she seemed to be glued to the floor. My H didn't even notice her. (he didn't even see her)
I was watching this while I was sitting in the car and I found it quit unusual and strange. Since my H is very good looking, I'm sure this is when she must of felt a real attraction for my H, even though she didn't know him.

But OW did find a way to meet my H and she made it appear as if it was by accident but it was all planned by her side. My "stupid, stupid" H!!!

mc,

We almost have the same case... within the family... so it's very painful. OP is my cousin's H and we were co-workers. I was separated and he was working away from his family when it happened.

I am very sorry for what I did... I regret it...I am guilty... but I don't have the courage to come clean. I know my cousin and my whole family will hate me for what I did. I am dying inside for hurting them. I have never been intimate to other man except with my husband... until OP came.

I am still separated... OP is now working in another state... but I've learned my lesson the hard way... I will not do this again.
