wmacbride Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 This is a spinoff from another thread.... Affairs are often ridiculous, and some of the things said/before/during and after them can be really bizarre... For me, one of the oddest things was in an email I got from my husband's ex-other woman a few days after he told me about the affair and ended it with her. She sent me a long message, which can kind of all over the place. While I can understand that, what I never understood was her telling me that if I ever needed a marriage advice I could go to her, and we could be friends. I mean come on, I get trying to move forward, but that was just weird. These are some other odd/funny things I have heard from different bs over the years... -one told me her husband explained he couldn't help but cheat because the ow had taken off her underwear and put them in his pocket (?) :laugh: - I've heard of ws asking their bs to write "break up" letters to the ow for them because they were too chicken to do it on their own...what a coward! It's like it's high school all over again. I bet there's more. Do you have any to share? I'm not trying to trigger anyone or make light of affairs, but rather, it's the ridiculousness of the whole situation that gets me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FoundMyStrength Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The MM I had a brief emotional affair with told me that our connection was so strong he knew we'd be together again some day, "even if it's at the same nursing home." Okey dokey. I will have to meet you there. Link to post Share on other sites
cocorico Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Affairs are often ridiculous, and some of the things said/before/during and after them can be really bizarre... Do you have any to share? "You've wasted my life!" Said by the "B"W to the "W"H, when he informed her he was leaving her, having fallen in love with someone else. Quite ignoring that, a few years prior, she'd left him for her OM (while denying there was an A) - only to come crawling back a year later after OM had dumped her. But then, infidelity "was a woman's right", since "marriage oppressed women" His infidelity was unforgivable, of course. Different rules for different people. Link to post Share on other sites

aileD Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Excerpts from OW emails to WH when they were discussing him paying me alimony: Im not ok with that. That means your still attached to her. I know you are because of the kids but thats different. After him telling her it's not his choice it's a judges choice That breaks my heart. Like im about to cry... I dont want that, i need that not to happen i dont want you to give any alimony. Im really upset over this. I dont think i could handle that, kids is something but alimony is something else my husband is paying another (derogatory word for female) money. Him to her about me in a "goodbye" letter which really was a "goodbye for now wait for me"letter: It occured to me too that once she realizes Im still not happy and your are not in picture,, that I can imagine the conversation already. "You really love her dont you?... yes. "Then lets just end this and you go be with her because all i want is for everyone to be happy and if your not happy here, and you know you will be there... then just go"... Yeah RIGHT. LIKE I WOULD SAY THAT!!: And him discussing other guys flirting with her at work and suggesting that it's not okay but it were a swinger situation then that would be okay. True love right? All im saying is when we are together like really together living etc. The only flirting id want you doing with anyone is with or through me. I said before. You could have sex with anyone we both feel comfortable with as long as we do it together. Side flirting by guys... say "I got a man" if they persist say. "I have a man thank you but no thank you." If they still persist let them know youve already told your man because thats how tight you are and the two of you are not going to speak any more if the sexual inuendos continue. Please stay away from people to outwardly demonstrate that all they want is to get IN your pants... please? - I know I cant say much due to my situation but if you think I am out of line just tell me. I can't make this stuff up Edited May 8, 2017 by aileD Link to post Share on other sites
Superchicken Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Jeepers, "Ladies", man you gals really dig in with your fingernails. You all should know when in such an emotional state, the "Dumb ass" in us shines like a clear Summers day. I'd rather have a crappy letter, or whatever, to the "Rabbit" cooking in the Pot scene from the movie Fatal Attraction. Yeah, I bet your not laughing now. But I'm crying.. Poor little rabbit. Hurt no one.. Why, Why... Ted. Link to post Share on other sites
aileD Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Oh listen to what the OW said about my kids: "Your kids will always be close. You had a plan! What happened? You're letting fear blind you! Your kids will eventually get over it, but will you ever get over letting me go?" Who says that? Link to post Share on other sites
