The day I found out he had been contacting her with a game app

Her Bday (he bought her a gift)

His Bday - the last time the physically met, 3 days before DDAy.

Due to continued name calling & venting we are forced to move this thread to General. In the future, please be respectful to the OP, so we can keep their thread in the forum they wanted it in.

Thank you

Strip clubs

Women who dress like whores

Woman who have amazing bodies

And I HATE HATE HATE Beyoncé Drunk in Love song

If WS drinks liquor

Anything about the past. I'm always trying to figure out if it was before , durring or after.

Everytime our friends or other tell us how perfect we are for each other, how we are such a great example of love...blah

Pretty much any woman within the ages of 28-38. (He had 2 ons and can't tell me who they are) of course the more attractive one trigger me worse.

When I see married men "checking out" a piece of ass.

Constant paranoia that I'm going to run into one of the OW and not know it, worse befriend them. So I have isolated myself. I want to move out of town.

Movies seem to be a trigger for almost all of us.

It almost makes me afraid to go to a movie theater or turn on the tv!

Maybe we should start a list of Safe Movies and TV. The criteria should be no infidelity or OW/OM references of any kind (unless it is them getting hit by buses), no porn or stripper/strip club references of any kind.

I guess we will all end up watching Sesame Street only because I can hardly think of any movies that don't have infidelity related stuff
