A letter to the woman whose husband I stole... without thinking.

[chocolatemuppet]

Saw this link from The Guardian. made interesting (and sad!) reading. Emotive stuff for a lot of reasons.

Pass the puke bucket.

What a silly, self-centred and shallow twat. If it isn't Mills & Boon style fiction, of course.

I thought it was well-written and certainly very honest, in that she wasn't trying to defend her behaviour. But what I don't get is how you can ever be that self-absorbed in the first place, how she could ever have been at the stage where she hadn't thought about the wife/kids at all.

Well enjoy your cheating git of a prize dear. You know what they say, when he marries the mistress he creates a vacancy...

Utterly foul reading. 'Slight sadness' at seeing the traces of this poor woman in her house? Poorly written, self absorbed crap.

I feel incredibly sorry for the wife. I imagine the mistress had built her up to be frumpy and when she saw she wasn't she's had a twinge of unease...

Hassled It's awful writing. Melodramatic, self-absorbed, lazy ('like a dart'? 'Feline eyes'?). Nauseating.

I also doubt it's honest, in any sense of the word.

It's a stealth boast. The wife was attractive and classy with a nice, orderly home, but he chose meeeeee!

Enjoy it whilst it lasts, writer....

Stupid cow. It'll be you in her place soon enough.

Badly written, self absorbed, shallow, childish, selfish, sneaky.

What a proper bell-end.

If she really exists, then she is an even bigger twat for writing such self-centred narcissistic crap.
If it is made up, then whoever made it up is a proper twat, with no depth to their writing.

Just urgh.

I thought it read like Dr Foster fan fiction!

It makes sense in a way.

You'd have to be incredibly thick (THAT thick) to become the OW.

Ugh, what a bitch
Those letters are real by the way, I have a friend who wrote one.

Utter nonsense

Enjoy your second hand husband love

I hope she's checking her 'fresh bed linen' every time she pulls out of the drive and she'd better get those arm muscles in tone - she'll be needing them to lift her belongings out soon enough once the novelty wears off for him.

Vain attempt at psycho-therapy. Your confession of guilt / praising of ExW? Shallow. Post-homewrecking voyeurism and stalking? NOT ON. Just fade into anonymity and wait for your "man" to repeat his behaviour. . .

I read that this morning and was sure it would pop in here. :)

Anyway, utter stupidity. What did she imagine the wife to be like? The bad witch like in Snow White?

Exactly twinklestein and girlinacoma why do women always blame women for 'stealing' their husbands. It's like the males are these passive, docile creatures unable to resist the charms of a temptress.

"Feline eyes" - very poorly written draft for some hackneyed idea for a novel, is my take.

Anyone in any circumstances who says or writes "my man" is an unmitigated arsehole.

Unless they are referring to their valet, obvs.

Self - indulgent tripe. Why on earth the writer thinks the wife will be in the least bit interested in what she thinks or feels about her is beyond me.

This.

Well, if it is true, he'll be off shagging someone else once the excitement has worn off. She can busy herself with the cleaning products then, and perhaps even take up smoking

Bertrand

Oh do fuck off dear

Did anyone else wonder how she hid a bucket behind an ashtray? Unless the cigarettes the wife sneaked out for were
Cuban cigars as thick as tree trunks.
And when did this godawful trend for 'open letters' start? I'd never heard the term until a couple of years ago now everyone's at it
