Hi everyone,
The OW will use every manipulative grain in her body as time moves on to keep our H/W. Remember their relationship is based on lies, deceit and manipulation so why would you trust a man like this. OW insecurities tend to show when the affair has been running a while. That is why we should give her the rope to hang herself in the relationship and step out of the way, though this is soooo hard - I am not sure how to quote but previous words from justasking.
There is no way no how the OW will ever contact me, I don't want her to especially at the moment as she will get more than she bargained for. BIG TIME. I hope JA is right and that she will hang herself with the rope - because I have dropped it big time, my ex must be wondering what is coming next. I have no contact and do not intend to contact him at all, not a snowballs chance in hell. I am not fighting for a man who has put some OW before his own family - no way! I still find this very hard, and I wish he would wake up soon (been nearly three years)! In that time I have had Great nephews and great nieces be born and to be honest they have done more "growing than I have" time to change that.
Like I said there is no way the OW will contact me, and if she does then bring it on. She was with him at a family funeral recently and I did not look at her in the face, did not acknowledge her in any way nor will I ever - as far as I am concerned she is scum and I don't talk to scum and I don't care who "it" is with, not happening. She is part of his life certainly not mine and never will be. Unfortunately for her she cannot have the same, I will be in my childrens life I will be there when my kids have kids and she will be totally "blacklisted" as far as I am concerned. He knocked my self confidence big time with this but now I am grabbing it back with both hands, I am making my own rules now and she is not a part of the equation.
Just the other day I was sitting here "praying - I am not a religious person usually" but I do think someone or something is looking after me right now. I was praying that he would "come to his senses" and not cause our family any more pain. Who I am kidding. REALLY!
I am starting to question my own sanity, wanting "my man" back - wth! Why on earth would I want someone back who was prepared to put his wife and kids through this - I know I never could. So I am wondering why I am standing? I am being stupid, am I not facing the facts that are staring me in the face?
Does anyone else feel this way?
Or am I really going nuts? By the way apparently mine met OW after we split (not long after though), most people believe he did (I think I do - but who knows for sure) so is this an affair as such?
