Omg. Judgemental of whores that step on a partner they pledged fidelity to in marriage vows? Hardly sanctimonious stance. You are screwed up in the bean. Daddy never gave you love or attention. So you use unavailable men to screw. |
And, discovering years long affair in itself often leads to insanity. You can’t bank on how anyone will take discovery, not your partner or your AP’s partner no matter what you think of them or how they will react. Many will be intent on taking you down. It’s a very normal reaction to that depth of betrayal, lies and putting their health and kids safety at risk. Momma or Poppa Bear is poked and comes out of hibernation for that. |
| Amen to that. Nobody f@cks with me or my kids. Sure f@ck my husband/wife, but be prepared to pay consequences, e.g., such as your spouse being told, etc. And as the other op pointed out many things that can be used against you in custody were caused by the infidelity. Yes, infidelity, isn’t used— but the things you did to harm/ignore your kids —/choosing AP over them, putting their safety at risk, breaking quarantine will all (and should rightly) be used against you by judge ruling on custody. |
I agree with part of what you said. I'm more practical where my kids and finances comes first. A man isn't my everything at least not romantically. If my DH cheats it's not worth divorcing over some silly W. That being said she is equally a co-cheater and messed with my family. I would have no problem showing up at her work, or telling her family all about her. Once she came into my playground she invited me into hers. |
Nope she wasn't insane. Chronically depressed over 2 people playing horrible games. Her job had ended and they agreed she would move them while he started his new job. While she was in another state his no good boss started hitting on him. When Jennair joined him she was in a new city, unemployed with a husband who was cheating. No support system at all. Its too bad she didn't see a way out, or didn't realize her DH wasn't worth it. A traumatic series of events can get any normal person to behave irrationally. The maliciousness of the mistress is hard to comprehend. Or the ignorance in not seeing the danger involved. |
That makes no sense. Blame the spouse. |
Someone who is cheating is rarely *just* cheating, and it is not just about sex. They may be spending significant money on their affair, 'working late' and spending less time with your kids, having unprotected sex (risking your health and another baby), saying awful things about you, sleeping with a coworker and risking their job, and spinning a narrative in their own heads which justify the affair and also justify all other kinds of resentment and acting-out toward you. At a minimum, they are lying to you. |
DP You either don't know what all Jennair did or you are ignoring it to keep to your point. No doubt the woman was wronged but given her reaction she went WAY past the point of anything considered as a normal response and speed past irrational as well. |
Yes it does. I would blame both, and I wouldn't ever care about my DH again. At that point my kids and lifestyle is all I would care about... |
I agree with you. I'm pointing out that there are traumatic life events that can make a rational person behave irrationally. Abused women who kill their husbands, or kids that kill an abusive parent. All three played a part in the unfortunate events that followed. |
Hard to change my original stance given the bold text above and I could add that you are assumptive in your conclusions. |
Exactly. One of my friends suddenly noticed her over 50 spouse acting critical of her. They had a good marriage (or so she thought) and other changes that prompted her to check on him. She put a gps on his car. Found out before and after work he was parking at random places for a hour or 2. Often it was a shopping center. I told her to locate his car and park far enough away he wouldn't see her. The AP dropped him off, and she followed the AP to her house and obtained the address, her name and everything about her. She also erased the Textme app from his phone, and called the AP telling her if she contacted her spouse again there would be serious consequences. Never said anything to her spouse, and to date he hasn't cheated but her feelings toward him are completely over. Mind boggling because he lost a lot over a dud of a interloper. Actually I seen a few similar things with other friends and acquaintances over the years. Sad when the kids find out and want nothing to do with the cheating parent. It's definitely cheating on the entire family, not just the spouse. |
My friend is on bumble and she let me look through her account the married men use the term "ethical non monogamy" which I think is supposed to mean they are open about being married. Not sure if their wives are aware though. |
I would get the guys name and, let the wife know he's into ethical non monogamy. See if she's on the same page. lol |

For most men it’s merely physical/just sex and they will tell mistress anything to keep it going—lie, lie and more lies. Many tolerate her “talk” but do t really like her and could never see themselves marrying her. Particularly, with the ones started on online websites vs office affairs where they are intellectually on the same footing and begin an attraction for one another. Co-workers/colleagues have spent many hours, months, etc together vs Ashley Madison where it’s one meet up and then straight to sex. They get the milk for free.
Statistically for women, even those telling AP they just are doing it for sex, they get very emotionally attached as the affair progresses and become highly jealous of the wife. It’s more often a means for an unhappy wife to try and exit marriage with new partner in hand. Unfortunately for her, most men don’t want to give up their marriages. They just want their cake and wait to too. Many studies done on this topic. |
