[quote=Anonymous]Just looking for a weigh in here because my context of men's behavior in marriage is pretty poor. (Not to single out men- curious about women's behavior here too).

Hubs wants divorce. I'm accepting of it and we are moving forward with it because I recognize I can't change the fact that he just doesn't want to be with me or work on the relationship and I found out late in the game he wasn't faithful anyway. (Its not as neat and tidy as that but for the sake of this question, keeping that short).  When an ex-boyfriend of 10 years ago (who lives overseas with his wife and 3 kids) found out we were divorcing, he asked me if I wanted to take a vacation with him in the fall. I'm still separated and he is married so I declined and said I'm not going to be in touch with him because I'm not planning on being a home wrecker. Then a former neighbor who I had hooked up with several times (also a decade ago, while both of us were single), has started reaching out over text intermittently. He is married as well and has a child. The texts have been platonic but odd- since there's no real reason for him being in touch, I'm expecting he's looking for an opening for some innuendo or something to turn sexual.

Just not into either scenario and it makes me sad altogether for people in committed relationships (myself included bc spouse cheated on me) who are being played. Is this as rampant as it feels, based on these scenarios? Either give me hope for the future or tell me the truth so I can brace myself for eventual dating.
