I agree with you! Everyone has some sort of issue, my point was they do too! |
I’m a parent and I am divorced, and I see how bad divorces can be if somebody cheats. there was no cheating in my marriage, but I would not have left if it was only cheating. I also would not want to know if there was cheating involved because that to me is not a reason to leave a marriage. There are plenty of other reasons that are worse. My kids have a “good” divorce, but many kids don’t and any adult who gets involved and makes it possible for kids to endure a bad divorce and have lifetime trauma is way worse than someone going outside their marriage for short-term sex. Sex is not the foundation of a marriage. The children and finances are. |

I'm confused by this "only cheating" bit. For many people who have affairs, not only are they having sex with someone else, but they are spending all sorts of resources - money, time - on the other person, as well as depriving their spouse and children of their attention and connection. A cheater drains a lot from their spouse/family. |
And these women APs stalk the wife w/out her knowledge. They work against her with the info they glean. They wish her harm or that the spouse will leave her. This is why when they post here acting so noble and blast a betrayed spouse for sending an email to their spouse with the facts, nothing more or less, it is so insane. |
+1 I learned she had been cheating most of the affair, serially with married men and that her husband had no clue (but several of her friends knew and were alibis, fellow online cheaters) and that she planned to spring a divorce on him when their kids left for college. I felt so bad for him not knowing the lie and I imagined him getting blindsided with a divorce filing out of the blue—-while this SAHM had been stashing $ and having him make decisions that would benefit her upon divorce. I did think about him when I saw how cruel she was and how she talked trash about him. He did file himself when he found out and personally thanked me. And, yes, it was extremely painful- just like it was for me. But, we both were so glad to know the truth about our lives, guard our health, etc. |
Please look back on your own posts. You’re not providing coherent or constructive arguments, you’re just throwing around names and armchair diagnoses meant as slurs. And, FWIW, you’re also responding to more than one person. |
And what did you do with your spouse? |
You mean my former spouse? |
Unfortunately, the commonly accepted “acceptable” reasons to divorce usually lead to breakups that at traumatizing for children. |
So are you. |
Years long affairs are hardly short-term. Shame on you for shaming other women for leaving after being cheated on. |
My husband didn't cheat on me, so I don't know who you think you're talking to. [Cue the "you don't know that/he probably did" comments] |
You can craft whatever kind of story you need to in your head, but OP said he was glad to know. So who cares what her motivation was - he is glad to know. Period. End of story. Don't choke on the sand while you're down there. |
