i've been specifically angry that wh has left me to do all the work. i'm working full time (soon), caring for the baby, trying to keep a clean house AND keep myself fit. Or get myself fit.
Ah, yes...I went through this and still do. Once S started crawling, the house got waaaay messier! And the laundry...and the cooking...and tending to his needs alone...all of this weighed on me heavily. It still does. They get to be off doing whatever and we are stuck with it all. And it upset me WHILE I WAS A SAHM! Now that I am returning to work, I am nervous. A friend pointed out that the house won't be as messy because we won't be in it as much.
About your OW friend. You know, I have a different perspective for those who were OWs and had no clue. If I hadn't have been cheated on, I wouldn't be aware. I mean, I would take the man's word for it....that he and babymomma were not together. So it is terrific that you shared some signs with your friend, like how he would be transparent if things were truly done between them. I don't think your friend is evil or anything- she was just naive!
