Article about a pair of cheaters in The Guardian

[Time40]

... what a pair of utter self-deceiving knobs (I mean, if this isn't actually fiction). It's OK because it happens "in a different universe" from his marriage. God.

Eurgh what a severe case of the ick I got from that. Her chasing after scraps and him trying to make out of sight out of mind into utter gibberish nonsense instead of being honest

I read that article. Can't quite believe it and am still at the wtf stage!

Naval-gazing deluded cheating wankery. At the end of the day they're still cruel in what they're doing.

Yes - ghastly sounding people. And why on earth proclaim it in the pages of a national newspaper - narcissistic as well. It would be glorious karma if his partner got suspicious...

This /.

Their names are so fancy and affair like

Morality aside, she managed to make it sound all quite erotic, but then I read his bit and thought I’d be cringing myself inside out if I was her.

Sordid and grubby

Yeugh. They deserve each other. And not in a good way.

Think this is one of those kind of things that wouldn't last 2 minutes if it was an 'actual' relationship- it's just a virtual head buzz for them both -

I started to read that earlier today and just a couple of sentences in I thought -what a deluded loser and switched to another article.

Might go back and read his point of view now.

They are probably called Fred and Nellie (apologies to any real F & N who may read here) Self entitled pretentious cheaters.
I hope Freds wife is having a down to earth, physical affair, with someone she met at Age concern....the more he daydreams about Nellie, the less he bothers her.

Nellie is content with some other women's scraps...poor old cow.

Well that relationship happens in the Mills and Boon section of her head really, doesn’t it?

It's absolute nonsense. She's completely deluded. He's manipulative and just plain old cheating on his wife.

Absolutely grim. His poor wife. Bound to discover it all once he pops his clogs and realises her beloved husband was a lying, cheating arsehole, and total pseud into the bargain.

God. I'd expect pensioners to have more sense.

Cheaters are cunts.

There is just no need.

If you want someone else, LEAVE FIRST

Whereas other partnerships calm down over time, ours has maintained an intensity comparable with a new, budding relationship

Well of course it has, because they barely ever see each other. What a knob that man is. His poor wife.

Reading the article it's all very weird: breathing each others breath, sending more than 40-60 coded pictures/messages every day and they're into theoretical physics too, eh? 🤔WTF?! I guess that's how pretentious people - who think they are too special and interesting for fidelity - do affairs. What a strange pair!

Any reference to “ice-cream”, for example, implies a recent orgasm

A man of 65, writing nonsense like this. Pathetic.

Yep. Trying to dress up plain old common or garden cheating as something else.

Eurgh that breathing each other’s breath bit made me 🤢

Multi universes 😂. She's a gullible fool. He's vile.

there's alot of specific detail in there, even if they've changed the names...

I'm not defending their behaviour at all, but it isn't always so simple. What if you fall in love with two people at the same time?
