OMG - my ex used almost the exact same script - we are too much alike, has a deep connection with the OW, etc. My fiance told me that this is "not about me - he just wants something different" after 8 years together. (Funny how this perspective only came up when he met the OW.) Are these guys all drinking from the same Kool-aid? This is nuts. I am so sorry you are dealing with this crazy behavior like me. Any ideas of what she found so appealing about starting the affair in the first place?
Please check out my thread if you can - I think our situations have a lot in common, except you seem to be much more poised than me and I can't help but lose it sometimes when he says these awful, irrational, selfish things.
