.....basically humiliating them without them even knowing about it.
Oh I know. I remember many times being around OW (she was my friend) with my H around. We would end up together at the pool (darnit, she saw me in a bathing suit! lol), parties, school, library, grocery store, everywhere together. My H allowed it to happen. I will be a long time recovering from that sting too.

Do they get some sick thrill out of humilating their spouses without them knowing about it?
I don't know, but its really sad if they did/do.

Do they exchange knowing glances at each other, pat each others butts while thier spouses are looking the other way?
Yes.
I suppose its like any other addiction, doing it while hiding it from your loved ones.

Many of us. Its common, sadly. Its horrible pain. My H and OW also made tons of plans together with all of our kids while OWH and I were working. They played happy family, even in church on Sunday mornings. I am shocked and beyond disappointed in my H for bringing our kids around that.
