This thread is something I've been wondering about for some time.
ME TOO...
and my conclusion from my reality is...
IT works very well if done correctly... (notice I didn't say always)
I mean... Do any of you notice that the women who are betrayed get madder at the OW than they do at their husbands? They call them skank, slut, and yada yada yada, and here their husbands are out doing and acting the same way as the OW... AND they are more than willing to forgive and forget and will even go so far as to suddenly become a HD wife when they were LD for years...
Yet they HATE the OW and will fight for her husband. They actually get MADDER at the OW than the husband. The husband now has TWO women fighting over him. And they think he is depressed? He is loving it. He now has his wifes attention. The OW is doing everything to win him to her. The two women are FIGHTING over him. I think jealousy has a huge impact.
Note: the guys do this too when their wife is having an affair... However we aren't talking about that... We are talking about womena and jealousy and why it is not used as a tool more often because it does seem to have merit that it has been used successfully...
