It's hard to compete with the OW. When they go out, it's all fun and games. She isn't concerned about that restaurant fitting into the budget, because it's not her money. She doesn't ask him to take out the trash or do any household activities. As hard as it is, I try to remind myself that the OW just seems more exciting because there are no routines, no normal life activities. After awhile, your H should realize that real life wouldn't be that exciting with her. It's just really hard to be patient until they figure that out. frown
