fell for the love-bombing. biggest mistake of my life.
This is one category, and the other category is the other woman who is also married and has what the cheater thinks is a mutual incentive to keep it hidden.
PP. you replied to. Neither of us were married but we were both in committed relationships (no kids). We left our SOs, got married a couple years later, had kids. Lasted 12 years before he repeated the pattern all over again. Joke's on me!

But why did you do this when there are plenty of single men? Also why would you knowingly go to dinner with friends that know the wive? Did you enjoy the feeling of knowing you were with another woman's husband? Is it a power thing? (not OP)
The men I have dated did not check all the boxes the way this man had. It was nothing to do with her but how I felt with him. The friends were his (along with his wife) but they were unware of exactly who I was to him during the time. The breaking point was when we were out one night on the town, met another couple talking casually and he introduces me as his wife. The sinking gut feeling hit me at that moment. He spoke about her freely, openly complained. Sent me pictures while they traveled together. The relationship dynamic became more of a close friendship with benefits.
Didn't you feel like a big, dirty sleezeball?? I never would date/screw a married guy--and man was I propositioned all of the time in my 20s (still am decades later). I was hot enough to get successful, single men---not somebody else's sloppy seconds.
