All cheating MM tell the OW that they aren't having sex with their wives anymore. That's the most common lie around here that we hear only to find out some of them are having sex with their wives multiple times a day as well as having sex with the OW. Of course he isn't going to say, yeah I have a very active sex life with my wife, but I need more to you, or you probably wouldn't continue to have sex with him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No - I know he doesn't have sex with his wife or rather she doesn't have sex with him.It would have made no difference to me either way. His wife would be entitled to have sex with her husband. She just doesn't. I know this for a fact. If he treats her like he did me - then I don't blame her. I admire her stance! Link to post Share on other sites

I believe him because he was ashamed that his wife didn't find him sexually attractive. I believe him in this case...but again either way I'm not bothered right now about that. I asked why when we broke up in a civilised manner, telling each other how much we care, love and will miss each other, did he come back a week later and do a 360 - and emotionally f#@king me over. That's what concerns me right now... Link to post Share on other sites

This was never a man who cared much about anyone but himself That much was true from the moment he started cheating on his wife. He wants to do what makes him feel good, and right now, it makes him feel better to turn the tables and reject you. It's not "right", so to speak, but it sure is a cold. hard look at who he really is. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing we know for a fact is that this man lies - he has lied to his wife, his family, his friends and neighbours about your existence in his marriage for the past eight years. The simple truth is that you do not know what happens in a marriage unless you are one of two people in the marriage. With kindness, you have not demonstrated the best judgment with your decision to get and stay involved with this man. I think this is another case of you wanting to believe what you want to believe - your emotions clouding your better judgment… 1 Link to post Share on other sites
S2B Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 Block the jerk! He just wanted to control the narrative and control the outcome!

That's sweet! I should say, I thought of you because she talks about how confounding it is to love someone who could be so pathologically hurtful. It’s difficult to understand, because from the outside it seems like a no brainer - block and walk away… The fact that you are still reluctant to do that at this point kind of astounds me - if I’m being very honest.
