[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were friends with both the DH and DW in a couple. Two kids and about 15 years into their marriage, the guy suddenly left wife and kids for the mistress he'd kept for several years (we think) in the city where he spent four days a week working. Mistress had gotten pregnant and I guess gave him an ultimatum so he picked her and their baby over his wife and kids, who had done nothing but support his dreams. Totally blindsided the DW as far as we know, and certainly blindsided everyone who knew them.

The DW and kids are doing fine now, but no idea if the guy stayed with his new wife because frankly, we dropped him instantly when we found out what he'd done. Yeah, we chose sides big time, without any nonsense about trying to be "fair" or whatever. The only thing to his credit is that he never tried to explain himself to us or other friends, or excuse his behavior. Of course he didn't have a chance because we would not have spoken to him anyway.

A different friend (no kids) split with her husband and he phoned all her close friends to cry and make out that he was sooooo sad and only wished good things for her, blah blah. He was trying to stroke his own ego and probably maneuver some of her friends into talking him up to his wife. One of the strangest phone calls I've ever had. She wasn't leaving because of cheating or abuse but because he was perfect on paper (a successful MD, charming, well-off, etc.) but was manipulative and seemed to have a LOT of secrets dribbling out once he got her to marry him. And he sure seemed manipulative with the tearful phone calls to her friends. And by the way--I had met him ONCE.[/quote]

Wow my DH (we’re separated now) did this and it made me so furious. My story is that he is an emotional neanderthal and I’m tired of feeling lonely in my marriage. I wonder if that’s what happened to that woman.[/quote]
