I agree. You need to dump his sorry ass before addressing OW. Look at Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng.


Op doesn't need to step aside if she doesn't want to. Maybe there are benefits to her remaining married. After all, she IS the one who is actually married to the man, right? He is Op's husband, right? And why on earth would she ever address the OW? Ha. Not likely.

Well, she seems to be trying to address OW right now. And it is sad.


She is probably wondering why a woman would settle for being an OW. I think the main answer is that they want the companionship and the passion without the commitment and the work. They can't really respect their AP's marriage because they are willing to accept so much less for themselves.

If it were me I'd have trouble respecting the person's marriage because they have no respect for it and they are in it!


But in this case the wife hasn't done anything wrong. She is the one being cheated on. OW is never going to come off looking good in that situation. It is what it is.

There's been several posts on here that seem like the wife is addressing the ow. It's probably my Ap's wife. You should be nice to me I'm going to be a second mother to your kids.

They rarely leave for the OW.


Until they find the right one. These men are still vile cheaters who are sleeping with another woman/women and just dont want to part with their money.

This is a wrong assumption... You have NO idea if the wife has or has not done anything wrong. You have no idea how she treats her husband, if she is cold and abusive, if she lies, overspends, if they were separated... NO IDEA under what circumstances the cheating occurred and while I do understand that cheating is never okay - the behaviors that LEAD UP TO the affair/cheating are usually equally the fault of BOTH the wife and the husband.

Don't neglect one another and don't assume it won't happen just because you took a vow. YOU are still responsible for maintaining your marriage and if you are treating your husband like shit he is going to end up cheating.

It's really not rare.


5%

Where did you find that number?


If you read Shirley Glass she has the study in her book. I did not memorize the name of the study.



That study is bogus. There is zero way to accuractly report that number. Do you really think people admit to leaving for their AP?

In other countries cheating isn't such a moral issue. Doesn't anyone read or follow Esther Perel?

No one is saying that OP's marriage is a happy one, just that the OW is an outsider to that marriage. It is what it is.

She is an outsider to the marriage but to say she's miserable or will grow old with cats is silly. For the OP to imagine herself in an enviable position because she is married to the cheater is sad.

Which study is bogus?

Esther Perel believes that people cheat because they are broken inside, not because their marriage is broken. I agree with her, it is not very different from what Shirley Glass says in her book.

Getting the passion and companionship without the commitment and work is less?

Is everyone familiar with the concept of a "party girl?" I feel like the idea is the same with APs. There's a list of qualities I like in a lover, and a much longer list of qualities I need in a life partner. Women jump on each other when a woman is with a guy for a superficial sex and fun relationship, but guys get a pass. Fuck that. I'm for gender equality.
