So what happened? And was OM considered a step up from your H or a step down? My W in my own sitch continues to cheat down with every new person that enters the picture.
Seems like the WW always "trades down". Maybe it is just a universal truism that all men that would mess with another man's life are pond scum. I can't think of single, objective, redeeming quality that OM had over me in my case... other than that he had inside intel via me (we were friends) on my W's vulnerability, and that he lavished her with praise and attention (after several years of neglect by yours truly. I often say that if I could name a "Right Place at the Right Time Poster Child", the OM in my sitch would be it. OM, At 54, is five years older than my wife, but looks 25 or more years older (my W can and does routinely pass for mid 30s, and OM is a heavy drinker and that lifestyle has taken its toll-- big bear belly, all grey hair, mostly bald), is not well off financially as a towtruck driver (and not even full time) and is about as lowbrow unintelligent as they come. And not to mention that he is a backstabbing wife-stealer.
