[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stigma will follow you FOREVER, and it's is a million times worse for the female.  Everyone in his family will always,  always think if you as the honewrecking whore, even if they didn't like his ex.  If there are kids involved,  you are pretty much guaranteeing they will hate you and make your life miserable.  You might be happy for a hot minute,  but the stigma takes a toll.  Trust me,  I've been there.  [/quote]

Certainly true when it comes to my brother and his mistress-turned-wife. My parents tolerate her because they want a relationship with their son, and now there are grandchildren. My other brother and I want nothing to do with either of them--they both showed they're selfish, spiteful people beyond the affair. The children from my brother's first marriage, who were only 3 when he walked out, are now old enough that they've started putting the pieces together and it has done a number on their relationship with their father and last I heard they barely speak to their stepmother. Nearly every friend my brother had during that first marriage has nothing to do with him any more.

Sure hope the cost of destroying all those relationships was worth it.[/quote]

Oh come on - this is so melodramatic. I certainly feel for the kids involved, but you and your brother and your parents are ridiculous for ostracizing him over a marriage to which none of you were a party. This is an appropriate reaction toward a criminal, not toward a cheating brother. But hey, whatever makes you feel morally superior, I guess. [/quote]
