You are so right. It takes a lot of therapy to help move past the anger. It is necessary. I think there is a time period where anger for spouse and AP will be strong. It’s part of the grief process. It’s getting stuck there that will eat you alive. You need to move through the process and realize the best revenge is good living. People that cheat are broken inside. Yiu can’t inflict that level of pain, lie and deceive and betray without being messed up mentally and worrying a lot of self hate/low self esteem. |

^ carrying, not worrying
I had a hard time moving past anger. Anger protects from the pain inside which follows. Then despair, etc. It is a long process to get over. 2-5 years when it happens in a long marriage, but cheaters only think of themselves. |
I think a woman married 25 years with kids and an OW are quite a bit different than teenagers. What is like high school : trashy people cheating, but you would think they would grow up and learn that’s wrong. Sigh |
All of this is so true. |
+1 Own your misdeeds. Blaming others, patriarchy, etc. is ridiculous. Delusional |
When adult women cheat, it has nothing to do with a lack of maturity. It goes way beyond that: they simply lack the basic morals and values that the rest of us do. I know women who have cheated rather publicly and when their marriage ended they had the audacity to hate on their ex. Hello! YOU cheated, lady. You blew up your marriage by sleeping with the dad down the street. It's not immaturity; it's a lack of self-control, lack of morals, lack of self-awareness, etc. |

Women need to grow some ovaries and stand up to cads. If you ever find yourself in the uncomfortable position of having to shoot down a cheating cad, try this:
"I find your character as deficient as your horsemanship. I bid you goodnight." |
You are missing the point. On this thread you are fighting with anonymous women. It’s ridiculous |
What were you expecting? She sew an A onto all her lapels? I bet she rides better than you too. You’re jealous.
