One of the women I know has slept with everyone in the dept. If it is her then yes they'd be shocked because H is such a "good guy" that no one would believe he would date someone like her.
Thing is the day of the BD he said he'd miss my looks. I didn't know at the time I was being compared to the OW. I've never actually met this woman I've only seen her from afar at a grocery store. H pointed her out and then named all the men she's dated. She's blonde, fit, younger, prettier than me. I didn't get a good look at her face though and it's been years.
My estranged sister (once pretty) lived that life and it showed on her face. She looked 15 years older than she really is (in the face). My kids say H has aged 5 years since he moved out a year ago. I haven't seen my sister in 7 years but my kids have. They say my sister is unrecognizable now which is the word D17 used to describe H.
