My H's OW was also well educated, strong, successful, (but not as successful as my H), etc. etc.... She also thought she was cleverer than me and had much more to offer. Maybe I feel differently and cannot be kind about OW as she did pursue my H. my H's staff have said as much to me. She wanted the CEO in her pocket and to do that she offered him into her panties!!
He was weak and what he did is not something I would do. But she did pursue. At no point has she shown sorrow or guilt apart from the fact that she didn't get a promotion, (she had to leave the co as the staff were turning on her when they discovered the A had ended), and she didn't get my H's income. She ran straight back to the H and children she had abandoned. I could perhaps have some compassion for her if she had ever bothered trying to talk to me. She didn't even need to apologise for her actions, just knowing that she had done what she had done because she was unhappy and that she had loved my H would have been enough. But her actions post A only indicate that she NEVER loved my H. She used him. I know he used her aswell but I think he genuinely thought they might have a future together when he started getting involved with OW as he really thought, (wrongly), I didn't love him anymore. And she initiated everything in the progression of the A.
I have nothing but contempt for my H's OW and she will do to someone else what she did to my H. She will not think twice about doing anything to advance herself. She has no morals. I spent a long time trying to reconcile what she did with the fact that she was a mother and a wife and thereby I thought had scruples and some sort of morals. I gave myself brain ache thinking about her motivations and now I have to stop doing that and accept that she is just plain nasty and selfish and I hope she doesn't hurt too many other people along the way before someone FCUKS her up big time. I just want to know about it when it happens.
I know this makes me a horrible person saying these things but I spent too long looking for a 'better' side of OW. A reason that would enable me to understand what she did. There was none apart from her own selfishness.
Sorry - I know I am nasty about this
