I feel a little insecure, because afterall I was rejected by someone I was with for 22 years. Almost quite literally my other half. And towards the end of our marriage my xH treated me really badly. (well they generally do when going through a D)
Yes, they have to justify their leaving somehow, so they often find almost ridiculous things to complain about (my ex said I "walked too heavy" - oh, and I taught my daughter to walk too heavy!!! lol).
I was with my ex for 26 years. One of the delightful things about dating in midlife, has been finding that most men seem to appreciate those things about me that ex complained about. Those few extra pounds that ended up on my hips and in my bra? (Which ex complained about - I wasn't skinny enough for him even when I was underweight at 125 lbs and 5'6") I've found many men ADORE my curvy figure the way it is now - even very handsome younger men.
Once you get out there and meet some nice men, you'll probably be amazed at what you were putting up with from your ex at the end there.
As for this:

In fact the OW (who is now his W) also told me I was a terrible wife to my face.
Remember, she is basing this on the LIES HE TOLD HER, and using it to justify her own poor behavior. Have no doubt, her turn will come.
