A few hours a month isn't exactly attention over the wife![]()
True. It's not even the scraps!

2 times a month vs 12 times a month.
That’s just the number of sex encounters.
AP: 2 times a month/1.5 hours vs wife: 10-12 times per month and all the other hours and weekends...and fancy dinners, social life, etc. Hmmmm....
And sometimes
AP: several times a month; actual honest conversations and companionship; friendship; and at times a future together
Wife: also sex possibly; a DH lying to her daily; staying with her only until the kids are out of high school; plans to screw her over when the time is right and it's easier
Not saying one scenario is more likely than the other, but AP relationships and marriages to a cheater come in all shapes and sizes. Somehow on DCUM, people seem to ignore that the cheater may have a substantial connection with the AP, and may be more committed to him/her than to the spouse. And often the AP is also married. They just wish they were married to other people. and are deciding whether to divorce, or frequently simply when to divorce. Am sure there are APs of all sorts. It may just be easier to assume that they are gold-diggers with daddy issues. Sometimes the APs just don't want to lose 50% custody or to go through a divorce til the kids are older. I say this as a happily married woman who has never cheated but know several male and female friens who have and have seen how it's worked out, and there's a pretty wide range.

Their husbands don’t f@ck them and they want another woman’s lifestyle. Jealousy. They are looking for an upgrade and too lazy and dumb to get a job to get that upgrade on their own.

It's basically this. women can get a much hotter and more accomplished man for an affair than if he was single.
I think this too. DC is abysmal for a single 30 something female. There's tons of lonely, desperate women.
Maybe she gave up on idea of meeting Mr. Right. Maybe she is a workaholic and only meets men at work, innocent at first, then closeness becomes an emotional affair, then crosses the line. Maybe he totally, slowly seduced her. Maybe he is in a sexless marriage or at least convinced her his wife is awful. Who knows.
Maybe she’s just a whore with significant daddy issues.
Banging a whore husband who isn’t actively in love enough with DW to keep his dong faithful. Oh dear.
With men it’s just sex. It has nothing to do with love.

But I love the page after page of bitter women trying to project their failed marriages onto women without a care.

Right, and she won't. I care about him and I have no desire to hurt her. It's not about her. She won't find out. I think we would be friends in different circumstances.

With every post you make, you just expose how little he thought of you and, by extension, how little you must think of yourself to stay.
How is Ashley Madison working out? Into your 4th affair? Did you cross paths with Josh D? Your poor husband.
