Today I ended it with a guy I've been seeing for a while. Yes I was the OW and I know how awful my behaviour was. If you were his gf would you want to know? I'm torn and can't decide what's for the best. I know I'm a bitch and whatever else you want to throw at me...

What Cravey said.

amessagetoyouYoni · 06/06/2013 18:21

I can imagine wanting to know if my DH was cheating on me, but I cant imagine a scenario that would include the OW telling me!?! I just cant see how that would be in any way a good thing. You are only going to hurt her even more and make yourself look desperate and conniving. Walk away from this situation NOW.

You have behaved badly, OP, but the vitriol on this type of thread is depressing. It reminds me of the bloody Jermey Kyle show - people screeching and yelling insults. Grow up, FFS! If you dont have any constructive advice for the OP - move on!

HurryUpWithTheWine · 06/06/2013 18:40

I was shocked too and fully expected one. Perhaps she had some respect for herself? Unlike me before you say it.

I never said you hadn't respect for yourself.you sound as if you have lots of that. Just none for others it would seem.

pants on fire

Heartbrokenmum73 · 06/06/2013 19:31

I've followed this thread thinking you were a bit of a bitch, OP, and have now upgraded that to 'complete bitch'. There was absolutely no need for you to tell that poor woman anything. Not your place. But I suppose you're feeling oh so virtuous now and that your slate is somewhat wiped clean. Hope I never encounter you in real life because I'd be very tempted to land one on you myself!

notanyanymore · 06/06/2013 19:45

if my DP had an OW I wouldn't mind her telling me a bit, at least then I'd have the full facts to make my own decision rather then him making it for me! Guess that makes me odd!

DiaryOfAWimpyMum · 06/06/2013 19:49

Yeah like she would tell you she was booking in for an STI test and not smack you Hmm

attention attention attention

pictish · 06/06/2013 19:50

I certainly do not believe she asked you and your friend to help pack his things!!!

What a crock.

Wellwobbly · 06/06/2013 19:55

I am a betrayed wife and I would have SO appreciated a call.

I thought I was going mad. The RELIEF of finding out I wasn't was huge.

But, OW, you knew he was not available. You knew there was an innocent woman and children.

Why?

qualitytoffee · 06/06/2013 20:01

I've read this thread from start to finish, and op (I can't be arsed to write your name or capitalise you) if you are for real, then you are the most self centred self absorbed "woman" i've ever come across, and if you think you've "wiped the slate clean" may God help you. If you were my friend i'd want nothing to do with you.
But i think you're a troll or a deluded frustrated writer and i feel sorry for you. Either way, you're a joke.

SlowJinn · 06/06/2013 22:51

I almost believed this scenario until the neat conclusion - where the wronged wife phones the locksmith, arranges an STD test and throws out the cheating husband all in one fell swoop, whilst allowing the mistress to keep her ill-gotten gains from their liaison. No doubt wronged wife and mistress will end up best friends forever and go off on a girly weekend to Tuscany in the next instalment.

Bollocks. This is taking the piss.

overture · 06/06/2013 22:55

yes I'm starting to wonder, and if there is a pattern to this rubbish??
Seems much too well package to be true, and I was hoping for the best

interesting connection, over Smile

Heartbrokenmum73 · 06/06/2013 23:15

Yes, yes! I was thinking the same thing earlier!

mentiroso, mentiroso, pantalones en el fuego

wonderingagain · 07/06/2013 00:53

Just as I was about to say "I told you so, that telling wife would be the best thing to do!"

I now have to live with the nagging question "why would anyone want to spend hours and hours telling a very bad joke?"

Serves me right for hoiking up my judgypantalones.

Thisisaeuphemism · 07/06/2013 10:35

The problem is that your heroine is really unsympathetic.

frissonpink · 07/06/2013 10:43

Oh gosh. What an awful woman you are.

Here. Have my first ever Biscuit

Hope you are very proud of yourself for cheating with someone who you knew was unavailable and had a child.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Karma - remember that!

Pagwatch · 07/06/2013 13:11

Crock.

Pagwatch · 07/06/2013 13:15

I think in a sequel the wife and mistress could become best fiends. Mistress is asked to be witness at the wedding when wife finds a new man. But sadly they can't conceive a child so mistress donates egg and the baby is named after her. Then mistres becomes a nun having restored the balance of the world through the gift of life. She renounces all desires of the flesh and grows a fabulous moustache.

JollyGolightly · 07/06/2013 13:35

If you have any decency you'll give the gf the proceeds from selling her partner's gifts to you.

C999875 · 07/06/2013 13:37

I'm not going to flame you as it's none of my damn business!. But why put his innocent girlfriend through hurt by telling her. What the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve over.
I have no right to judge anyway as I cheated on an ex boyfriend I was in a 3 month relationship with no sex, err don't ask. So I went out and got in elsewhere, do I feel guilty?.... No, I don't if he had shown me affection then I wouldn't have gone looking elsewhere. Simple as that. xx

C999875 · 07/06/2013 13:44

Frissonpink. I am also a great believer in Karma and I have proof of it although if I tell the story o here I will be identified and I don't want to be.

However... Lets not forget the guy who she had the affair with is every bit as guilty as her and at least she has been honest. Also I must say this but I see no anger for the guy in your post. O.P obviously didn't have an affair with herself did she. xx
