PW - I know that you wrote your post for yourself, but it really changed something in me. I read each of your items and thought to myself "Me Too." Just like you are SO much better than Dishrag (love your nickname), I know that I am SO much better than my H's OW.
3, I'm happy that my ramblings can actually be meaningful and helpful. And yes, we are better than the OW, just by sheer virtue of the fact that WE wouldn't stoop so low as to knowingly encourage the destruction of a family. Our H's bear the brunt of the blame for the affair, but that doesn't mean the OW shouldn't be held accountable for their participation.

I felt empowered after I read your post and thought about it for a few hours. I will no longer define myself based upon H's opinions of me or his fantasies about OW. I DESERVE so much better than that. You do too!!
Your letter sounds like an excellent idea. Glad you were able to get out the anger and venom smile I may try the exact same thing.
Yes! Empowerment is a beautiful thing! You should definitely give the letter writing a go. It felt great to get it all out. I wrote it, put it aside, and went back and read it a couple of hours later. Then, I went into the garage and burned it.
