I know that the OM in my sitch is a complete opposite. Hunter, fisher, country music lovin' goob(no offense to country music lovers). He writes like he never made it out of high school.
I wonder if that happens a lot that they go for the opposite. The OW in my case is my total opposite. I've worked on the issues that I think are important for me to work on, but I don't want to change myself into the OW, in fact I don't want to be anything like her I hope! But I am working on being the best I can be. And if my H wants someone like the OW in his life instead of me, then so be it and good luck to him (b/c he will need it)!!! Karen
