I am so When she told me, it was with a giggle & comedy 'oops'. I wanted to stand up to her and say behind your dd's engagement is a woman beside herself with distress (the man has two dc, 5 & 4). The reason my aunt found it funny was because she herself pinched another woman's dh. She said 'apple doesn't fall far from the tree' & giggled like it was 'naughty'. She justified her own behaviour because my aunt & uncle had a very long & happy marriage until he died. The rest of the family is falling in line behind the new couple. I just feel ick about the whole thing. The divorce is barely underway & they've already chosen a honeymoon in the Seychelles.🙁
AIBU?
My aunt is laughing that her dd is engaged to a married man...

Well I hope your aunts husband is shagging another women as type. What goes around comes around. I have no qualms nor do or will I be offering any apologies whatsoever about saying that. What Goes around comes around. I'd say hope the same thing happens to your cousin. However I have no need to hope because it will do. If he's cheating on his wife I guarantee he'll cheat on her and no one will have an ounce of sympathy.

I got engaged while still 'married' in my defence we had separated 15 years previously just never actually divorced till there was a reason to do so. Things aren't always as black and white - would i deserve to be called a cheat and told karma would get me?

As pp have said the circumstances here are important. My DP is still married but has been separated for over 3 years and has had a relationship with someone else before we even met. If we got engaged technically I would be engaged to a married man.
diddl · 06/08/2022 14:06
So if you hadn't met someone else would you never have divorced?
Wasn't no longer wanting to be together reason enough to divorce?

Why is the OW's punishment always being cheated on while the MM's is to cheat again?

Because shes laughing at someone else's despair. If she's not wicked she's clearly tapped and needs looking at quickly

Some people have no moral compass !! I’m sure she will be laughing when he leaves her daughter for the next wife soon !!
I cannot understand how women go that low that they actually agree to a relationship to married men and vice versa
MorrisZapp · 06/08/2022 14:16
Every. Single. Time. I don't even think they know they're doing it. The misogyny is so ingrained that they really do think women who go with married men deserve for those married men to then cheat on them. They don't think the man deserves any punishment really, his sexual incontinence is just the oxygen around us and deemed morally neutral.

The Aunt shouldn't be sitting there smug and laughing. That's what I'm talking about. Come at me withwhatever points you like but I'm not backing down on this one.
