It's good to see you posting again. I wanted to say something about this: It comforted me to know that sooner or later, he'd realize that she was just another woman and that she wasn't worth it.
I believe it is highly important that we, the LBS, keep this in mind at all times. I know I am guilty of pretty much equating the ow as Helen of Troy in my mind (early on) because in order for my H to leave our marriage it must have been for someone as marvelous and perfect as that. I was very wrong, of course. The words, "just another woman" are powerful. That is all the ow is, and eventually, just as your friend pointed out, she will begin to be seen as just another woman in the MLC'ers eyes too. It takes time, but it does happen.
Thanks for sharing this. Good to hear from you. Hope
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
