Cheating is wrong, no matter what. However I want to ask you if you contributed to his cheating by not having regular sex or becoming fat?

He could have blamed me but his new partner is actually heavier than me. Someone mentioned CPTSD… she’s got CPTSD, he’s her rescuer, and apparently I’m the persecutor in the “victim triangle.” I actually used to think he’d leave me for a woman with a Johns Hopkins degree, thin, 28 min 5k kind of person. But his cheating typology falls into the victim-rescuer paradigm. Rescuing her gave him huge validation…

Mine also was banging much below their weight. Married, 50, no job, newer had a career, butter face, bod not great. Also- victimhood thing. He could feel superior and she could blow smoke up his @ss.

I wonder what the two marriages above had in common that women you both find much inferior to you in both looks and life in general were able to so easily steal your man. But we know, don't we? You both just choose to gloss over it or, if called out, are likely to lie. I can tell you, no man chooses a woman for sex who is less good looking than his current partner, unless the choice is, sex with this AP, or no sex with his better looking wife. If you really wanted to keep your man, you know how to do that. Every woman knows. Why all the shock and dismay when a man or woman in a sexless, or near sexless marriage makes that choice?

Umm pump and dump is not stealing. lol

I'm sure it was worth it to him. It's too bad he wasn't able to find that happiness with you and that you let a simple thing like sex destroy your otherwise blissful marriage.

It’s the emotional bond felt with AP as well. Obviously new sex is tantalizing but affairs aren’t always just about sex. An EA that leads to a PA still has a huge emotional component. And no, I couldn’t generate that same emotional spark as AP did. I was in his eyes the mother of his kids, the person with whom he divvied up chores and appointments and endless tasks for the kids. By divorcing, ExH halfed his chores and responsibilities and got to date AP with no marriage responsibilities. It was the best of both worlds… reducing responsibilities, gaining more personal freedom, and dating a new person without having to negotiate with her the demands of child & family life. I guess there are always people here who blame the wife for the husband’s exit affair, and I understand that… but sometimes there’s just too many variables involved.

This.

And still getting sex at home.

I'm a woman in a sexless marriage with an AP. I don't know what my husband's issue is and I'm tired of asking or suggesting therapy, etc. I don't care anymore. Sex is very important to me to feel connected to someone. AP is in similar situation. I'm glad we found each other.

Most women are pretty bad at sex and think they don’t have to put effort into it. After having bad sex with the same woman for years, it makes sense that a man would try someone else in desperation.

Sure. I'm dating around and one Im dating not sleeping with just dating cheated on his ex wife who was having anal and all her holes poked but he was still sleeping at the time with a married woman who was giving him anal. He said it wasn't lack of sex but he needed the attention and married ho bag gave it to him.
