This reminds me of an experience I had. Somewhat embarrassing to relate as it shows how totally clueless and naive I was!!
In our late 20s my W started in a graduate professional school. Small class of 12-15 people. She became friends and study partners with a young woman our age. After 3 months she dropped out for personal reasons even though at the top of her class. Soon thereafter a married male student, who apparently was hitting on her in class, renewed contact and the LTA began.
So fast forward a year to a point that was 2 -3 months before the A was going to end due to his graduation and return to his hometown (I was clueless anything was going on) and my W has stayed close with the girlfriend. The girlfriend is wanting to D her husband but has no money. Although I have never done D work, I agree to handle her D for free since she is W's good friend.
There were papers she needed to sign. She and her little girl were in an apartment near my little girl's nursery school and her class day started early and ran late. So we arranged that I would take my daughter to nursery school then drop by her apartment for her to sign the papers.
That morning my daughter was feeling off, cranky and non cooperative. I got to the apartment about 40 minutes late.
The woman answered the door wearing what was essentially a see thru white negligee with nothing underneath. No robe. Nothing else. And she was steamed that I was late. Telling me that her daughter was now awake and she wanted me there well before her daughters wake up time.
I was puzzled. DUHH!!!! Apologized, got the signatures and left. And as I was driving to work I was trying to figure out why she would come to the door like that and stay that way as I explained the papers and she signed. And why was she angry at personalized free service! Double Duh!
So 5 years later, when I learned of the A and began reviewing those months in my mind, the light bulb went on. I am certain my W's OM had confided in his classmate about the A. And she, being broke and about to be D with a young child, saw a young, rising atty as a possible solution if that young rising atty suddenly found himself being D because his W was having an A. But once she saw that young atty being so totally clueless and naive about what was being offered him, she probably concluded he was too dumb to ever actually rise very far. No further approaches by her the rest of the way thru her D.
I have told my W this story. Ironically, she was outraged that a woman would even think of trying to seduce a married man and break up his family.
I have to defend my self respect by assuring you I am no longer that naive!
