Shades, I also have to agree with the other posters. First, you never really know what is behind the presentation. Remember that! Someone who appears to be "great" rarely is. In saying that, this individual he is seeing has some issues if she is seeing a married man. Remember this, these relationship rarely, if ever do last. 97% of affair based relationships end up in the toliet, 60%+ of 2nd marriages fail, the number is probably higher. Basically what I am trying to tell you is, all that glitter and gold cannot fix what is wrong with him, so quit thinking it can. Shades, your STBX is just an ASS. I'm sorry, there just isn't any other way to put it. He is irresposible, selfish,and uncaring. He will get what he deserves at some point in time.
