Do you think they ever leave their wives

[kittya]

Some one I know (not too personally, thank god) has been seeing a MM, if you can call it seeing, the odd night every other month for Nine, yes, nine years. I just got too wondering, now his dc are at 6th form age, will he leave his wife for her? Or, is there ever a time when they do? Looking at these threads blokes do clear off all the time for OW so, how can it be a myth that men never leave their wifes for OW?

Although, I think nine years is a terrible waste of time!!

well, they looked very happy when my friend saw them tonight, nine years for the odd night out!!

Someone once said to me that if a man doesn't leave his wife for the OW within the first year or two, he will never leave. This was very much on my mind when a friend was in the 20th year of an affair with a MM. She actually had two kids with him before the wife found out and chucked him out. Friend tried living with MM but it all fell apart, and they only meet/speak now when the kids are visiting their dad.

I can believe that.

Yes, lots of men leave their wives.

But there's a stereotype of the OW hanging around for years, hoping he'll leave.

Lots of women are perfectly happy only to get the nice bits of a relationship with a man and would run a mile at the suggestion he leave his wife.

very true but how long do they wait? I think its easier if the OW has a life.

Darts I think you're on to something here. My DP left wife after one date with me (bad, empty relationship that was very much over already, otherwise I would NEVER go near a MM)and she's moved on now to someone else - all are happy. If the MM hasn't left within a year he won't at all, I wouldn't have thought.

To be honest any woman who goes near a man who has kids doesn't deserve happiness - it's not just the wife's life she's wrecking.
