How to deal w overwhelming anger towards OW?

112 replies

MimieD · 07/03/2013 21:13

Started a thread in Divorce but maybe better on this board..
Any advice? Stbx left last April. OW was married too but apparently is now getting divorced although her husband is unaware of the adultery. For nearly a year she had a good friend covering for her whenever she met Stbx.
I know that at least I will never have to deal with the lying,cheating Stbx but I feel consumed by anger towards the OW. The idea that she will meet my DCs and even spent holidays with them leaves me heart-broken. I know the whole rationale 'as long as the kids are happy and like her' blah blah blah but that doesn't help me as this is the woman that had a large part in destroying my marriage and is the cause of my DD saying her life is not as good as it was and all she wants is for things to go back to normal.
It can just consume me and leave me a crying wreck, unable to concentrate at work or even enjoy time w DC. I can only hope my DC will grow up w my values and will never ever do this to another human being Sad

MimieD, go to counselling or write it all down and smack a few cushions if needed, get it all out so it doesn't fester inside you.

I can honestly say almost 3 years after my X first left, he was like a rubber band for a bit (until I cut him off and moved house)... I feel pity for him and his OW. I sincerely mean that.

Selba the irony of someone who justifies the betrayal of another woman, accusing me of misigony is laugable.
And what is revolting is the skewed moral compass of people like you who haven't got the guts to deal with the realities of modern relationship without jumping into the sack with the first middle aged, balding man who spins you the 'my wife doedn't understand me line'

OP hope you are ok. Its shit that the mistress massive have escaped from their own forums (and yes there are forums dedicated solely to the subject if being a cheating arse Wink )

Fair play to you, Fuckit

Hi.

We've had to make a few holes in your thread in order to remove someone of the bridge dwelling clan from Trollsville. We're sorry about this.

AnyFucker · 12/03/2013 19:22

ah, as per a vulnerable woman's thread is hijacked

lovely

MadAboutHotChoc · 12/03/2013 20:08

what have I missed?! Hmm

Back on topic - OP, hope you are ok?

Selba · 13/03/2013 21:40

fleecy, enjoy your cliches.
I'll stick to real life

Selba · 13/03/2013 21:46

bamboozled, the misogynistic bits are
"poor deluded fool"
"opened your legs"
"sad cow"

"sloppy seconds"

hope that clarifies

what a joke to suggest an alternative view could ever be discussed ANYWHERE on MN.

fengirl1 · 13/03/2013 21:48

Mimie, are you still around? I just wanted to say writing things down is very helpful, but make sure you leave it in a very safe place.... I did this and one of my dd's came across it (she was snooping) and it was very hurtful for her.

Selba · 13/03/2013 21:51

and if you are woman whose husband does not understand you and you no longer have sex and have started an affair , come on and freely discuss it here.

you will find few people to approve of the affair but most will have no problem believing you have stopped sleeping with your non understanding husband.

AnyFucker · 13/03/2013 23:15

Selba,, am not sure exactly what your problem is, but if you have been reading threads carefully you will find that women who cheat on their partners get short shrift too
