Deep... That is just sickly... I certainly hope she's remorseful...

Allen, well eventually she showed the remorse, although not all at once, certainly not in the mourning period, and it wasn't an easy ride at the start, during, or even now.

She refers to that time now as a period where she wasn't quite sane, and quite literally. When we had both recovered from the most intense period somewhat, I asked her why she took certain risks, including sending our version of the NC letter via COMPANY email (she works for a large bank and OM is a top client). I'll always remember the way she replied, in an almost incredulous tone: "Yes of course it was crazy to do that, but I wasn't sane then, was I?" - with a silent (DUH!).

Oh, and I just remembered something that isn't so much shocking as funny in an ironical way. Past exposure and confrontation, W was at the mourning stage where she missed her true soulmate (OM) but was trying to stay for the kids. As she put it "Deep, it's not like I can't stand your face, I guess I can be not too unhappy living with you." That 6-9 months was bonesplinteringly painful. Which was when I got close to an OW of my own, a friend who found out about her H's cheating 1 week after I told her about my W, and threw him out within 3 days. Cutting a very long and complex story short, she was talking to me every day and flew out to meet me when I travelled for a business trip (she apparently had a sudden business trip that cropped up there too). No, we never did anything physically sexual. Yes, as Sandi and others hammered home, I was guilty of an EA, which is inexcusable too.

Anyway the funny part was how much this really ATE W up. Call it the extreme Gucce/Robx scenario or whatever but it probably helped burn her fog big time. Besides kicking up hell, she brought it up at many post-Retrouvaille CORE meetings, and more than once she said "Yes, it was really, really hurtful, but more than that, it was REALLY stupid. I can't believe that after all we went through, and what we shared, that Deep could actually put himself in a position to risk everything we built, and jeopardise our marriage and family."

Yeah. Duh smile

Allen,
Pathetic excuse for sure. That is why it shocked me so much as it is such a lame a$$ excuse that I can not beleive for a minute that the words could even venture from his mouth or that he thoguht I could be that gullible. What on MLC A$$. crazy

He quit his job 2 weeks ago and seems much happier not sseeing fantasy OW any longer. Time will tell.

Ok, here we go....one night in the middle of W's A, before I knew for sure it was an A, W went out "with Friends" after work. She assured me she'd be home by 5 so we could do something as a family......

When she came rolling in about 9:00, I kind of lost my cool (this had happened many Friday nights in a row) and asked her if this was her idea of what a marriage was supposed to be like...

She kind of looked away and I said "What does marriage mean to you?" And she said.....wait for it....

"Trust and Fidelity".

That was about 15 minutes after leaving OM's apartment where she went for her Friday boink.

Here's another - wanted to make a large purchase out of the household account because he'd spent all the money in his personal account on gift for OW.

Finding their "love journal" in the trunk of H's car (they used it to write their "love story" to each other). Gross.

Finding movie tickets in the laundry to a movie I didn't go to (after we'd been slowly making progress on recovery and just returned from family vacation). The conversation went like this:

Me: What did you do Sunday?
H: Nothing, ran errands.
Me: Hmmm... didn't go to a movie?
H: Uhhh... oh yeah, I did.
Me: Who did you go with?
H: Who do you think I went with?
Me: OW.
H: Why do you think that?
Me: Because you're giving no reason to think otherwise.
H: Oh yeah... I did.
Me: Click (me hanging up phone)

That's it?

Just "oh ya, I did" ?

I am shocked he was wreckless enough to leave a Journal in the car... My wife and OM kept theirs online... publically viewable blog... Did they think I was that stupid? really?

And the kicker? It's STILL THERE!!!
