If your DH/DP had an affair would you like to know?

Just as simple as that. (full disclosure, I'm the OW by the way and have all the evidence). I don't think I'll ever tell her, but sometimes I feel she deserves to know.

I'd definitely want to know, without a shadow of a doubt

HeelsHurt · 08/01/2018 23:40

But your still with him ? Do you want him to leave his wife to be with you?

Abouttoblow · 08/01/2018 23:44

You've learned your lesson???

So this isn't the first time? Find some self respect .... and someone that doesn't have a wife.

maybetomorrow4 · 08/01/2018 23:45

I would want to know and i would not care who told me.....
How long have you been having the affair op?

rainbowduck · 08/01/2018 23:45

He's set himself a target?

And you believe him?

Hmm
Mrsknackered · 08/01/2018 23:45

Good grief.

I'd want to know. And I'd want you to tell me and end it and then never speak to me again.

She's going to hate you, but that's probably better than you hating yourself because your wasting time with a man who will never leave his wife for you.

maybetomorrow4 · 08/01/2018 23:46

What is your question above ......... so why would he?

BrokenBattleDroid · 08/01/2018 23:49

You sound like you don't think much of him. He treats people this badly and you want to be with him? Do you actually value yourself at all (genuine question, not goady or sarcastic)? There are much nicer people, and much nicer ways to live your life available out there.

ohdearohfear · 08/01/2018 23:49

I thought you were going to stay aws from him for 6 months and see what happens.
you're despicable. you just want him and also to destroy the life of his wife, it's quite evident from your previous posts

ohdearohfear · 08/01/2018 23:50

previous threads should I say

niteandfog · 08/01/2018 23:51

Nope, I don't want to leave his wife for me. I've actually never asked him to nor never will. His words "we are both in problematic, unsatisfying marriages and this is what needs to be sorted". And what I mean with "my lesson" is about my own marriage. I would never ever wait again to be so unhappy, that passively or actively looked for something to trigger my divorce (in this case the affair). My STBXH knows everything BTW.

If he's not single by the time we have some plans, then he's out of my life.

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 08/01/2018 23:52

Wasn't he meant to have left his poor sick wife by now?

maybetomorrow4 · 08/01/2018 23:52

Why is she jealous of you? ......you are not making this easy
to follow op

Abouttoblow · 08/01/2018 23:52

When a man ends up with his mistress the main thing he leaves behind is a vacancy. Bear that in mind.

ohdearohfear · 08/01/2018 23:52

your last thread was two months ago and you wanted him to leave if I remember correctly.
well he hasn't has he?
keep waiting love

rainbowduck · 08/01/2018 23:53

So you are separated ?

But he is not... and this isn't his first affair?

wibblywobblyfish · 08/01/2018 23:54

Please don't go getting a mutual friend to do your dirty work - if you want the wife to know, do it yourself. There is no need to drag anyone else into this shitstorm.

Also, you need to be prepared for her to not believe you and for the MM to drop you like a hot potato. There's no winners here.

maybetomorrow4 · 08/01/2018 23:54

You wont be the only mistress now and he will not leave his family for you.

ohdearohfear · 08/01/2018 23:55

be a better example of a human being for your daughter.

niteandfog · 09/01/2018 00:01

Well, I'm still living with my ex, I even sometimes think of staying with my ex (I'm moving out in two weeks). A month ago, he asked for a month, 2 max (I know it feels like longer ago)... I haven't moved out so I don't have much to offer either so to speak. Now he's actually talking about a "few weeks" , so at least his original timeline makes sense. Tomorrow is the last big date he can use as an excuse for at least 6 months, so the clock is ticking for him and he knows it.

HeelsHurt · 09/01/2018 00:03

All sounds screwed up with no road to happiness OP!

SchnitzelVonKrumm · 09/01/2018 00:03

Don't hold your breath.

maybetomorrow4 · 09/01/2018 00:03

What is happening tomorrow op?

Italiangreyhound · 09/01/2018 00:04

niteandfog I think she deserves not to be cheated on.

And you deserve more niteandfog. It's sad you don't value yourself more than being with a man who does despicable things.
