[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: I felt this way too. I'm not younger than his wife, but in way better shape and far prettier. We also shared a very strong emotional connection, something that by his own admission was missing from his marital relationship. The 'affair' such as it was has ended, although in our case it was a lot more emotional than physical. The emotional connection I had with him made me extremely jealous of his wife -[b] the fact that he didn't connect with her emotionally[/b] made things worse for me, not better, with me frequently thinking "why could it not have been me". We didn't have a future together, and had to break it off, but I still feel slightly triumphant that he felt for me what he didn't feel for her.... But in the end, she has him, permanently, while I don't. That always kills any feelings of 'victory' that I might have.

That's what he told you and led you to believe. It often works when people (both men and women) seek to hold on to an affair.[/quote] Actually,  it can't be a lie, even if he is telling the PP what she wants to hear. A person who connects with their spouse emotionally, by default,  doesn't betray their trust by cheating. [/quote]

I disagree that it can't be a lie. Some people do have some emotional connection to their spouse but just like the thrill-seeking and novelty of an affair, or engage in compulsive/addictive behaviors, etc. I agree that the spouses don't have the emotional connection that they should have, [/b]but it's not unusual for cheaters to say and do whatever they want to get what they want. They're lying cheaters[b]. [/quote]

These type of narcissists often put on a fabulously false front to the public--everyone thinks they are such a good, kind person and then are complete assholes at home.[/quote]
