Being OW

[MichelleLT]

My H's OW is also in need of rescuing. I'm not sure if there was abuse as a child, but she has depression issues and "was" a cutter (deliberate self-mutilation with razor blades) in HS. She has no self-esteem and sleeps with people even thought she doesn't "really" want to. While the A with my H was getting going, she was also sleeping with another guy! And my H was jealous and I was the bad person because I wasn't sympathetic. WTF?

At any rate, back to OW. I can't fathom what's so bad about her life. Her parents pay for everything, she's never had to work, she doesn't even have student loans!!! I have no idea what could be so wrong with her life that she needed to cut herself up, let alone go after someone she KNEW was married (we'd had her and her little sister over to our house).

But she has put my H on a pedastal because he takes care of her and buys her things and listens to her drama. I guess I'm just too self-sufficient.
