I Am The Other Woman

I will have to start a new group on help in getting over an affair. My MM of three years got bad news today. He went with his wife to her doctor appointment. She found out she is worsening. She clung to him and cried. She said to him "You are all I have." So of course, he is reeling with guilt. I told him that I completely understand. He needs to be there for her and take care of her. I never wished any ill will on her as I know she is in pain daily. So we are ending things. I am glad it is the holidays and I will be busy with my kids so that I am not so devastated at losing him.

I just don't understand there are so many men in the world why do does anyone have to knowingly go after someone who is already married.
ImnotAngela · 26-30, F
I'm trying my best not to judge but come on. There is so many people in the world who are single and looking. OMG.

She did and that's history and now she's asking for help

Because the heart wants what it wants. You can't help who you fall in love with. And the single ones are usually single for good reason.

@Stalked9: [quote] And the single ones are usually single for good reason.[/quote]

This is self-serving statement. The singles may be single for a reason, other than that they are no OK.

Woody Allen, quoted Gibran "the heart wants, what the heart wants", when he married his daughter.

There's a party (or more), that's being lied to. That person is a victim (when they're not assholes), and it's not fair to them.

So are you comparing adults in consensual extra-marital affairs to someone married to their (adopted) daughter? Because we used the same TRUE quote?
They're single for a reason is not a self serving statement. It's a true statement. Have you been out there? Surfing through millions of online dating profiles and going on 8,000 terrible dates with creepers, predators, rejects and losers? Because I have. And the statement is true. My married guy treats me 100 times better than any of them. He is sweeter, better looking, more available, kind, smart, sane and sexy than an of them. More importantly, we are in love with each other, and nothing will change that.

Oh and the poor "victim" third party has had MULTIPLE affairs on MM herself, is abusive and repulsive and NO one deserves to be lied to more than she does.

@Stalked9: I was kind of going for brevity, but you seem to have a knack for the dramatic. I was simply reminding you, that you're justifying.

No two affairs are the same, and indeed, his wife may be an asshole, as I had stated in my reply. But, if you really went on 8,000 dates, and nothing stuck, you should do a self-examination.

@Northwest: OK I'll make sure I do a self examination you preachy, self-important troll. I am picky. I have tried to find someone available who is a fraction of the man I am in love with, and lo and behold, that is difficult if not impossible. I could easily be married to most of them by now. Or I could go running back to my ex and have him all to myself. But I am beautiful, strong, funny and smart. I am self reliant and successful and a good person. And a great mom. And full of love and generosity, warmth, affection and loyalty to the right guy. And the only one who has shown himself worthy of me is the one I fell in love with.

@Stalked9: I'm a preachy, self-important troll? well, if that isn't another self-serving statement, I don't know what is.

You may not have noticed it, but preaching is all you've been doing, and as to the self-important part: "I am beautiful, strong, funny and smart." and you're so picky, only one person made the cut, and single guys are beneath you. Self absorbed much?

I'm all for civil conversations, and taking one case at a time, but your generalizations, make it all but impossible.

@Northwest: So let me get this straight....any woman who dares know her worth is a preachy, self-serving, self-absorbed bitch right? Just want to be sure we understand each other.
Northwest · M
@Stalked9: Yet another passive aggressive, self-serving statement. YOU Are not all women, I just want to be sure we understand each other.
