[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading these stories just makes me ill. The description of these men primping, buying new underwear, paying meticulous attention to personal hygiene, etc. This is what you do when you’re dating. How on earth can men with wives and families and homes live in that environment and still have the temerity to court a new woman? Like where is their humanity and ethics? This isn’t getting drunk at a bar on a business trip and messing up. This is getting ready for a date in your own home while your wife is in the next room, probably feeding your kids dinner. It’s chillingly sociopathic. [/quote] Turns out my ex has traits that could be defined as sociopathic by a professional. I'm not a professional, however. It is chilling. There is no humanity and there are no ethics. Accepting this about them makes it easier to move forward as does working with a therapist to understand the part of you that was drawn to this kind of person in the beginning. I'm grateful every day that it's over. And grateful I have the opportunity to look at my part so I don't repeat that again.[/quote]

I think it's fair to say that people who are dating outside of a good enough marriage with kids at home and regular intimacy are sociopaths.  All you can do is understand, leave, and move forward.  [/quote]
