root--I went to a concert last Tuesday and just texted her. "Tell the kids I can't talk. I am going out." That bothered her. I think that led to the question of "Is there someone else?"
I have been pretty dark, not as a ploy, I just have no real reason to want to talk to her. I can't think that if we were to save our M that it would work out anyway. Really the stuff she has done in the last three weeks has really put me off her. Finding out that she is wearing this guy's ring just made me laugh. More like I wasn't surprised than shocked or hurt. I think I feel like Arthur if you've followed his thread.
Not in any hurry for D to be final, but not particularly sad to be out of M to W. I think most of my hurt revolves around missing my kids on a daily basis. My anger revolves around being replaced by this philanderer, who likely will be around my kids on a daily basis.
My W is just not a happy person and she is looking for an instant fix to her misery. Nobody can tell her that she is trading a set of familiar problems for an unfamiliar set with this hump. He has been married twice! First W cheated on him, so they D'd. He knocks up second W after a month of dating and feels obligated to marry her. She becomes physically abusive, so he D's her. Now I don't know how long he has been D'd from second W, but he can't find a legitimately single woman, he just meets my wife at a community hearing and she opens up about all of her problems and he is willing to listen. Instead of encouraging her to work on the M, he instead pursues a relationship with an unhappy woman, desperate to get out of a bad M. Yeah, they sound like the perfect couple to me! How do you think this is going to end for the two of them?

A man who compromises his principles never had them in the first place.
