Yes. True hatred is there for that. He was in the hospital all the time with us. Helped my mom tremendously (during illness and after death), brought us meals. He really helped our kids throughout and had wonderful talks and support for them.
But- somehow he justified doing all these wonderful things allowed him to see her on the side. Yes—wtf? |
| Deep deep grief prevented from being emotionally/physically available for a period of time. You support a spouse through that not run away to have your needs filled. |

John Edwards and Newt Gingrich cheated when wives had cancer.
Truly awful human beings. |
Let’s remember, Newt famously dumped wife #1 for wife #2 while wife #1 was in the hospital recovering from cancer surgery. As in literally went to the hospital to present her with divorce papers while she was recovering from surgery for uterine cancer. He eventually dumped wife #2 for wife #3 shortly after wife #2 was diagnosed with MS back in 1999. And he was having the affair on wife #2 with wife #3 while he was turning the country upside down trying to drive Bill Clinton from office over his affair with Monica Lewinsky. |
He could have talked to his friends etc. That was just an excuse. The AP is just as evil especially when that kind of trauma is happening in a family. I'd have to divorce because just looking at him would make me sick. He back-stabbed your entire family while pretending to be a saint. That's sociopathic. |
True |
+1. Newt Gingrich is especially evil. He is a true sociopath. There was also some talk of him not providing his wife #2 with appropriate level of support (alimony) after divorce. |
yes, it's not 100% safe because you could say that about my wife too if I remained faithful. But within the greater dating pool of sexually available people, they are the safest group. |
No matter the reason, she doesn't want it and he can easily find a woman who does. |
Sure he can. And the point of this thread is that most likely he will continue to be married to the wife, and this willing woman will be a warm body instead of a partner, having to take whatever she gets. |
And I'm fine with that. You can say the same thing about what I am to her. She wants sex that she isn't getting. I'm that warm body. It's stated up front, we aren't trying to change each other's marriage. Just seeking to satisfy each other when we can sneak away for a few hours. |
From what I've seen, your situation - two married people not looking to end up together but just hooking up with no attachment - is not the norm. There are often feelings involved on one side, one person starts to want the other to leave the family. Or, as in my friend's case, she's emotionally involved with the married guy, and she is single. She gets lonely, as she only gets scraps of his time and attention. |
From what you've seen? you mean, your friend? Clearly, you haven't seen much. I've been cheating for a long time and my situation is more the norm. For sure, people can get feelings, men and women. But most are in it for the sex they are missing and not ready to leave their marriage right now, or maybe never. |
| I would expect there are many more situations where two people are married in bad marriages but do not want to divorce (money, kids, inconvenience) but that cheating to emotional and physical needs met is much more common than one person being single. That is just stupid. |
Yep, NGL |
