.....thank you to everyone who read through my crazy stories about the wacko OW who played mind games with my husband and I. Thank you so much for giving me such good advice.

I still visit this board every day, but since things are "quiet on the western front", I don't post much.

I've had some health issues due to the stress of finding out that my husband had an affair, but I'm starting to feel a little better. Did you know that the stress we go through can trigger perimenopause?!!! Yep, I'm 38 years old and now my body/hormones are going crazy. So much for enjoying my sanity for another 10 years or so.

Anyway, after my last post in which I asked if I should hire a PI to find out if the OW is actually pregnant...I came to the conclusion that I simply couldn't care less about her. And it only took a couple of whacks with the MB's 2 x 4 for me to get to this point.

Sooner or later, she's going to reap what she has sown. And oddly enough, I pity her. Since she has tried to destroy so many lives, the paybacks that she'll receive are really going to hurt her. But, she's made her choices in this life, and she'll have to deal with the consequences.

Even though I'm a Christian, I don't use the term "karma train", but it seems as though I'm finally being vindicated of the wrongs done against me. If you've read this far, I'll explain....

As you know, my husband, me, and the OW worked at the same company. The OW has since quit (April), I quit shortly thereafter, but got my job back in June. My husband's supervisor and the OW's supervisor were having an affair themselves. My husband's supervisor left the company to work for a competitor, and his "lover" was caught giving him inside information about our business dealings. So, I guess she's in the process of being fired for this.

I was told by this man to keep the affair out of the workplace, while he allowed the OW to spread gossip and ruin my reputation. His "lover" told me afterwards that she was tempted to call me and inform me many times, but didn't want to get involved. She tried to convince me that she was "always on my side" when this was going on. Right...... Be careful, I can see that knife sticking out of your sleeve, ma'am.

Am I happy that she may be fired? Not really. I wouldn't wish harm on anyone. She's just reaping what she has sown.

As far as my marriage goes...it's better than it ever has been. If it hadn't been for this site and everyone who has listened to me rant and rave, I probably wouldn't have made it.

Sorry for such a long post, I just wanted to give all of you a hug and say thank you.

(((hugs))) Right back atcha! I'm so happy for you and your dh.

I'm Christian too, but I use the word karma - insomuch as a meaning, "what comes around goes around." I swear it's true. When you walk with the Lord, great things happen, and the scenery is always grand. Sway from the path (like the unrepentant OW in our cases) and you step in deep doo-doo!

BTW: I love your screen name. Dance much?

A,

So great to hear you are letting it go, concentrate on what is really important - your M. Let God deal with OW, he is gonna deal with them ALL, & he will also forgive them all if they seek his face, and we must forgive them also, --- one day. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Take care & don't leave us, we need to hear good news always!!!
