ROOT recently posted some great lines to drop on a cheating spouse regarding their ultimate replacement. Here is one of her posts on Olive's thread: More stuff to keep in mind.... If your husband gets nosy and asks questions. Just point out, of course you would never be dating anyone seriously because you are still legally married. And you would never want to mislead anyone, you don't want any rebound relationships and you'd like to enjoy being single for awhile so you can find someone extra special... not just the first guy to come along. On the other hand it is interesting to see what's out there..... hummmm..... dreamy look (hee hee!!!!).
Other things if husband keeps needling for details.... You only eventually want a healthy, wonderful, forever relationship with a guy who would make a great stepdad to your kids. I remember telling my husband, "Don't worry, I will pick someone who will make a great stepfather. Someone who really cares about the kids and wants to spend a lot of time with them. Maybe even someone without kids of his own so he can devote 100% to them." (Let your H think that one over!!!!). I even once told him he might want to think about fixing me up with someone who he thinks is really great and might make a great stepdad. It's in his best interest that his children have a positive, good male living with us. -runningoutoftime, 07 Jan 2007
In fact, I have gotten a lot out of most of her posts this year. I recommend reading them. She is so confident... enviable, IMO.
