[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - as others have said, don't focus on him getting his due.  Focus on you.  I went through this too and someone told me, "the best revenge is to have a good life". [/quote]

OP here,  great advice and I am trying so hard to do this.  But, I can't get either one out of my mind.  [b]STBX has a gambling problem (currently going to GA) and was severely emotionally abused as a child (thought the love of a good wife could fix that).  So he has some serious unresolved issues. His affair partner is superr needy[/b], divorced for about 8 years, not dated since, and has a couple of pretty wild kids.  I can't help but think this is a recipe for disaster.  I want to move on and live a great life, but a small part of me lives for the day their little utopia crumbles.  Thanks for all the great storiies, I appreciate it.[/quote]

You have your typical addict/enabler.  This may not implode, but it won't ever be a normal, functioning relationship.  It sounds like you'll be better off without him, so focus on that.  It will take some time, but you'll get to a place where you don't care what happens with them.  [/quote]
