[limitless]

Interesting comments from the ow.

She writes her memories of the affair as if she were deceived as much as the ex wife. And the fact that she was only 21 and very much inexperienced probably helps her to convince herself that it is all his fault.

I wonder where the wife was during all those events at his work?  Oh yes, he was basically divorced, right.

The comments that he had made about her weight seemed like a very thinly veiled attempt to degrade her self esteem.  Funny how both of them sounded like victims in their stories. The actual victims are his ex wife and kids. These two self centered idiots really deserve no sympathy.

Hopefully she has learned something, like to stay away from married men. He sounds hopelessly deep in the tunnel and likely to find some other young and foolish girl to latch on to.

I would love to read the ex wife's version, although it is probably similar to the posts here, as the ex sounds like she is being companionate towards him.

Interesting stuff.

With that and the threat to "expose how we got started" when she wanted to break it off (which I took as an attempt to accuse her of being a homewrecker or probably get her fired) he sounds like quite a catch.

That's right.  I forgot that he had written that bit.

He wrote it, though, in regret, that he had taken that stance.  I am guessing his only regret is that it didn't work!

Interesting that he sees himself as Don Draper from Mad Men - and OW sees him as a balding, unattractive older man.

Do MLCers really see themselves as dashing Jon Hamm's?

Dream on!

I have to say, I enjoyed both of those exchanges.  What I found really interesting were the comments by others.  Did you notice how the women seemed to sympathize with that limp *icked, short, chubby, bald dude and the men didn't.  What's up with that?  I agree with Limitless, they were PERFECT for each other, a match made in HEAVEN from where I sat!  One no better then the other. 

I remember the Clinton scandal.  My children were 13 - 20 years of age.  Oldest daughter was in her second year of University.  The 13 year old male child, had no opinion, other then... "ewwwwwwwww... old people do things like that, S T I L L !!"... the other 4 that were almost 16 and up, had no sympathy for Monica in the least.  I felt she was young and had been taken advantage of, my children just about blew me out of the house about that.  All 4 of the older ones... two males and two females... laughed in my face.  Told me I had a lot to learn about "harmless" little 21 year olds.  That being said, they thought Clinton was scum.  Felt it was a shame he ruined a wonderful career, and a truly good Presidency by allowing himself to be RULED by his "little head" (their words not mine). 

What a disgusting mess!  How dare they pollute the world with their sick drivel.  They both need counseling.  Might I suggest Lynn Forrest.  They would be excellent guinea pigs for her Victim Triangle experiments.

Sometimes I feel like the world is a little off its axis--like when I read something like that. Whew!

Have you ever read a site/blog/board of OWs? With very few exceptions the OW always feels deceived, entitled, thinks the wife does not deserve to have the man back, the wife is to blame and so on. Some also put all the blame on the cheater. As if it is possible to cheat without a partner in crime. Those places where OW, or former OW, write/vent are pathetic.

Even if I think the cheater has a bigger responsibility, after all they are the married ones (and if they are older their responsibility doubles), the OW/OM also has responsibility.

Clinton to me, at the time of his scandal, looked like an idiot and more American president to misbehave (my image of French and American presidents is not exactly stellar). But the one who looked worst, and still does, is Hillary. She stayed with him after all that stuff, in my view only for power/political reasons. Monica is not innocent, but, at least at the time, she capitalize on the whole situation to her advantage.

Limitless, of course MLCers see themselves  as dashing Jon Hamm's. They are handsome knights in shinning armours, after all, are they not?...

the two sides were an interesting read

I got curious to see if the guy's name was real or fictitious.  Found this:

Last week, this article “To The Millennial I Left My Wife For (And 8 Parting Words of Advice)" made the rounds on the internet.  In case you didn’t see it, a pouty, anonymous 30-year-old man tells his story of love and loss, and ends by offering his 21-year-old ex the lamest, blandest, most generic cereal box advice you’ve ever read. This article annoyed the $h!te out of me. 

So I got creative and wrote a response from the perspective of his ex-girlfriend and posted it in the comments section. Obviously, I don’t know these people and I had no agenda other than just to write something weird and imaginative. Someone called my response “pop art”. I am the Andy Warhol of internet commenters. 

Anyway, it’s copied and pasted below…

To The Moron Who Left His Wife For A Millennial

Dear “Anonymous,” or should I say Dear Phil,

Oops. Didn’t want the world knowing your identity? Well, I saw you clear as day through your melodramatic writing, so congratulations on getting my attention.

[Ready2Transform]

Well lucky for Guillermo in marketing then that he doesn't actually exist!

[Songanddance]

Well If you ever want to know what goes on in an OW's mind then I have a letter from my H's OW which I have copied and posted in a previous thread.
http://mlcforum.theherosspouse.com/index.php?topic=3880.0

It's the second reply and it's genuine. I have the original tucked away ready for H to burn when he and I are reconciled!

Now I can laugh as their "R" has distinctly got cold..... well colder and he doesn't see her quite so often but I know he still thinks of her a lot.....
