I just see the pattern with a lot of LBS's and don't like going too far down that path. But yeah, learning things after the fact does add clarity.
I was just thinking today that my STBX may have had other EA's over the years that I never knew about. She was always VERY jealous of me spending ANY time with another woman and I rarely did (no female friends here, I don't like to flirt with danger). In fact, one night my car died and my boss (female) gave me a ride home because no one else was there, and she was MAD at me.
I bring that up because I know most cheaters are the ones most suspicious and jealous and she certainly was. She may not have ever done anything inappropriate, but looking back she did have a lot of time on her own, was big into social media and texting, etc. Who knows?
I don't want to be suspicious myself, I just don't want to be stupid. But my point is that if I found that out after the fact I would be a bit disillusioned about the quality of the R I had been involved in. So I guess that's normal. But definitely different than turning your ex into a villain which I don't agree with.
