[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know someone who did this. "Steve" was deep in the throes of a midlife crisis in his mid-40s. Cheated on his beloved wife/high school sweetheart with a ditsy 20 something (stereotypical beach blonde bikini body goldigger). He left his wife and kids (middle schoolers) and shacked up with the 20 something for years (maybe 5 or so?). His kids went off the rails (think: drugs, sex, etc.). After a while, he realized he missed his real family. Took a few years, but the first wife eventually took him back. Now they're in their mid/late 60s and [b]the bizarre thing is that they act like nothing ever happened. [/b]Every now and then someone will say, "Hey, you guys remember "Larla"? Wonder what she's doing now?"

Sadly, the kids really never recovered from their selfish father's midlife crisis. It definitely impacted their mental health and ability to have healthy relationships. [/quote]
Apparently it's bizarre to you because you have little to no understanding of what forgiveness is all about.[/quote]

That's not something you can forgive. The 1st wife may have been thinking about retirement and other things. You never know what is really going on. Hopefully Karma get's him.[/quote]

Yes, I'm fairly confident the first wife only let him come home in an effort to try to save the kids (didn't work) and for his pension and assets. She's definitely more financially stable now. [/quote]
