I thought I might start this thread to tell you a story about Karma. If anyone else has any stories to share please feel free to post them. Somehow, I think it gives us a little satisfaction.

Last night I had dinner with a friend. I haven't known her very long. Believe it or not I met her through H. Her H and my H are friends through doing business together. After H left me he started socializing with this couple. They did not know me. On one of our reconciliation attempts H introduced me to them. Little did I know that he had also taken the OW around them prior to me meeting them. Once the wife of the friend met me she told her H that OW was no longer welcome at her house, that she chose me. It was then that the couple figured out the whole story of why he left. He had told them that we had "grown apart" and there was no one else. I have become friends with the wife.

As we were talking last night at dinner she told me her story. She was married before and her H also cheated on her. The woman that he cheated with was someone she knew, like many of our situations. After she discovered the affair she also learned from others this wasn't the first time he cheated on her. Once my friend made up her mind that the marriage wasn't going to work she talked to the OW. She told OW that she wished her luck because H would also cheat on her. The OW laughed in her face and said he wouldn't do that to her.

The H and OW married. About a year into the marriage he told his mother he regretted what he had done to his first marriage. Yes, you guessed it he cheated on his "new" wife several times also. He traveled out of town a lot and apparently had several women. They remained married for 9 years and divorced. He married for a third time and is now divorced again.

My friend on the other hand is now happily remarried. They own a successful business and have a very comfortable lifestyle. They own two homes. One where the business is and a lakehouse about a hour away.

Hope for all of us LBS...
