I swear we're married to the same H! We love 'em because they're so kind and caring, but vulnerable women out there think they're *safe* because they're married. Then they form strong emotional attachments, which lead to EA, which lead to PA, which leads to WAS. With *friends* like that, who needs enemies?

They're SO blind. I think that's the same conversation I had w/my H, too, and it backfired. I know we shouldn't talk to them about our R, but we just want them to SNAP OUT OF IT!

He keeps saying, *I haven't abandoned you -- I still pay the bills, don't I?*

The bottom line: women, NEVER confide in men if you're not related/married to them. Men, NEVER be that *shoulder* for any women you're not related/married to. Single, married -- it doesn't matter. The forum is a good place to get the opposite gender's perspective, though, as long as it doesn't cross that line. Sometimes I see people crossing that line even here, and I cringe.
