[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The cheating husband is responsible for his actions. But, so too, is the woman with whom he is cheating. If I feed booze to an alcoholic for my own fun & profit, then I have some culpability. If the alcoholic then goes out, drives drunk, and kills someone; he should go to jail. But I have some culpability as well.

From your perspective, maybe.  But realize the cheating spouse is feeding the other woman or other man a distortion of his/her married life.

In my case, the man portrayed his wife as abusive.  I truly felt sorry for him and his children.  Given the perspective he was painting, I thought the children would be better off without her.

So was he telling the truth about his wife? Did you feel more empathy for him bc of his son story?

I meant, " his sob story". [/quote]

I don't really know if he was telling the truth about his wife or not.  I never met her.  My suspicions in hindsight is that he wasn't painting a fair picture or he was just as messed up as she was.  I did get a glimpse of his not so pretty side eventually and it made me rethink who was the abusive one in his marriage.  He was a skilled liar and manipulator who had a temper.

His whole story sucked me in.  From his crazy parents, his awful childhood, how his wife treats him and his kids, the whole package.  I am an overly empathetic person.  I probably seemed like an easy target.  He also could be funny, sexy and charming then turn on you for no reason.  I severed all contact after I saw a glimpse into who he really was.
