Among the lamest statements spoken on planet Earth.

Interesting it comes up so often here.

Often followed by all manner of idiotic statements designed to produce sound but not sense.

haven't yet read the link.

just wanted to pipe up and say the 'it just happened' or 'I didn't mean for it to happen' makes me see RED. You are not a f'ing victim, you are a perpetrator!

I got this so many times, hence why he is now an x. Tell me how 'didn't mean for it to happen' equates to purchasing an airplane ticket and arranging it with your whore before you get there to meet up and refuckfest?? So many deliberate actions = did mean for it to happen, planned and you paid for it to happen. FTG.

apologies it just makes me see red

read the post

Affairs aren't spontaneous; they require planning and decision-making

Unhappy marriages don't cause infidelity. Being unfaithful causes infidelity.

^^so very true

Good article. Ironically written by the author of a book MrH read when I kicked him out in '97... Before his first A.

Pretty much the only time he read books to try and help the M on his own. The other was Mars vs. Venus. Guess he only took them to heart long enough to win me back.

"Being in love" first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep the promise. *CS Lewis*

Great article, I think I will have my WH read it. I heard "we didn't mean to" "It was an accident" and "we never meant to hurt you" from both WH and OW.

I am so disappointed when a liar's pants don't actually start on fire.
