That is only because he doesn't have to deal with the guilt when he is with her. These ow have a way of making our H feel guilt free for what they are doing. But eventually I would hope that they can longer fight the guilt and it gets the best of them.
That is exactly what I was going to say. He just explained it in that one sentence.
angelica, Mrs. H is right on. Your H feels inferior to you right now and he can be superior to the ow because she is so beneath you in every way. He's the "better" half of that relationship and that feeds his depression. Good God, if you ever saw the ow my H was with...ridiculous. He's a good looking man, he could have done far better, but he affaired down, too.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
THANKS SNODDERLY.....YOUR ANSWER MAKES COMPLETE SENSE AND HAS HELPED ALOT!
Me 53 H 51 OW 25 Bomb may 06 left june 8/ 06 ILYBNILWY (twice!) 7/6/07 H wants to come home 7/21/07 H comes home 7/07 -7/08 long haul letting go of OW now piecing in earnest
Hope and MrsH at the risk of soudning insufferably arrogant, my h is inferior to me right now. Simply by hanging around with ho he has degraded himself in his friends and children's eyes.
I look good, and feel good. I still don't like the fact that he is scr*wing another woman, but I can't do anything about that.
Feeling good about yourself is a great place to be!! It does wonders for your PMA!!
However, keep in mind your ultimate goal. Yes he is an insufferable cad right now, but don't let it eat away at you. Your a lovely charming woman!! Stay that way. WARM HUGS
