Does your partner’s affair partner resemble you in any way?

I’ve just read the thread asking whether men regret their midlife crises. I’m struggling through the aftermath of discovering my own dh’s affair (and have had lots of sensible and helpful and supportive advice from mn) so all affair-related issues are close to the surface for me now.

Which got me wondering if there was anything about your partner’s choice that resembled you or did they go for something completely different?

In my case, ow is older than me, has more children, and is very different in terms of appearance (apart from us both having long dark hair). But I think she’s probably a similar personality type to me and in another life I think we could have been friends :(.

Mine was similar facially to me, but an international althete... I am very much not.

Turned out she was very needy and he couldn't deal with actually supporting another human being.

Mine left for my opposite- I'm petite and dark haired, into make up etc and she was very fresh faced plump short blonde hair.
She's welcome to him, I often wonder how long it took her to realise he's a supertwat.
