Betrayal

[kml]

Yeah, Karen - my youngest, at 21, believes that nobody is ever faithful and marriage is all a lie. He, too, thinks I am the exception to the rule.

Hey Barb, I knew somebody who heard "God has a plan for me and it doesn't include you"...that's a keeper lol.

Ooh - see they write the rules and actually believe it.

My kids are also very affected by it. My son (31) broke up with his GF of 5 years because she wanted to get married but he is afraid of divorce. Now he compares everyone to her & cant find the right girl. D (now 25) has gone from boyfriend to boyfriend. I think she looks for the male figure after losing her dad.

i had a long time friend call me while i was in the darkest part of my sitch, so i told him all about it and how much pain i was in because of her cheating, etc

and as soon as i finished my story he started telling me that he was cheating on his W and now with another woman and was inviting me to meet her.

[KenF]

yup. i almost was too.

one of his main gripes was that he had asked for a lego train set for under the christmas tree to go along with his other legos and instead, his wife bought him a beautiful tyco train set, proving that she just didnt know him at all.

true story.

Interesting post Barb. I just spoke to a worker who asked for ideas as to earning more money. So I told her. She than says "I left my H last month. I'm 40 years old good looking and vibrant. I felt stagnant in the M". I was speechless. The way the WAS think is very strange to me. I was stagnant and at times bored in my M but wouldn't have left it. This worker said that she was comfortable with her decision. No domestic abuse or drugs involved other than he "wasn't listening to me and I don't understand why he is angry". Really she said that after taking the kids, furniture and moving into a new condo now wonders why her H is pissed. LOL Can't make this stuff up

I really feel that these people have something missing inside. They are broken. I could just never do that to another person. It is heart breaking.

I will not shut up.

that just goes to show the lengths people will go to justify their cheating.

I'm sure he had other reasons, but this was his example to show they were not meant for each other. and he believed himself too.

[Rick1963]

The stuff people tell themselves is unbelievable. And after telling themselves those lies they begin to truly believe them.

Rick, that is so true. my x is a chronic complainer and would come home each day complaining about someone, and then get on the phone and complain to her mother and then repeat with a friend, and for each new telling the story would grow and morph until she was the victim of some sadistic co-worker trying to ruin her career. and she honestly believed it.
