This. I've had several affairs over the 15 years I've been married, but I'd wager that no one in our social circle knows. The men are not people any of us know socially. They are people I meet through work.

I remember my married 30 something high school history teacher got caught in a tent with a 17yo student. It was during the senior camping trip. He got fired, but I heard he left his wife and married the student. As far as I know, they are still together 18 yrs. later.

Husband began an affair with a stripper that he met there. The affair continued long-distance. The stripper moved to the opposite coast to be in the same city as her boyfriend/other woman's husband. Husband introduced the wife to his new "employee" (really the stripper) and continued affair for months. Finally- admitted the truth to wife. Wife found out she had STD's and the ex-husband and now ex-stripper are married- for over 10 years now!!!! True story!


I'm sure the sex is just as hot over a decade later. Strippers with STDs age really well. She sounds super classy!

Yikes...at least the kids were grown and gone and didn't have to grow up with that as their "second mommy." I wonder how the relationship is between the man's kids and he?

I guess there's not much else to do in a small town than have an affair with your best friend's husband or the principle of your child's school?


Or, like me, others feel like the OP was just trolling for scandal stories with a made-up lead-in. It's off-putting.
Truth be told, after octotroll, DCUM is losing its appeal for me.


This is the OP. I didn't make anything up, but whatever.

I think you guys are missing the point. She's in the hospital visiting said bf while he's in a coma and within a FEW DAYS she's in LOVE with a friend of his that was visiting said bf also. You don't find it kind of terrible that she "fell in in love" with her bf's friend in a matter of a few days while they were both visiting this poor guy in the hospital?


You said over time they got to know each other better... then hooked up. That's enough time for the old bf to know about what's going on considering he got out of the coma in a few days. Eh, I wasted time on a story not told well. Sorry, moving on.

Wife knows about some but not all of the affairs, and asked affair partner to play a part in their daughter's naming ceremony. The f*ckbuddy friend said YES and stood up there with the family like it had never happened. Not sure if wife knows about this or not but in any event, I have distanced myself from all parties involved in this trainwreck.

And before anybody asks/jumps on me...when the first of the affairs came out, wife told me explicitly she would prefer not to know about them and not be told if someone else knew. Which is the only reason I have not told her myself.

Maybe they have an open marriage

Were others laid off/fired as well or were they the only ones. Wondering if this could have been my wife (I do know about the affair).


They were the only ones. Whether or not this was your wife, I'm so sorry it's happened to you.

I know a couple who were in their 50's. The husband decided to cheat with his wife's best friend's daughter (following?). Clincher was that the husband and wife had a house directly next to the best friend and daughter (best friend lived with her daughter). Made for good times all around.
