I understand the reasoning for the moral high ground on this.
Overall, I agree.
And, overall, I have been this way with my XWW’s adultery guy from the moment I found out.
At one point, during an unexpected confrontation, I , somewhat aggressively, enlightened him of the reasons he was an utterly worthless, irredeemable, and useless piece of shit.
This happened in front of my then, even more worthless, adulterous, POS backstabbing wife. (I happened to catch them together by chance post D-day)
He knew me, he knew we were married, he knew we had two children, he knew it was wrong, he knew that it would destroy our marriage, he knew it would destroy our family, he KNEW it would hurt our children terribly, he KNEW the hell they would go through in a divorce, and he KNEW that it would alter their lives in a bad way.
He was aware of all this.
And he didn’t care.
Now, it’s not about me.
It’s about what my children went through - for no other reason than their mother’s selfish, needy, childish, bullshit addictions and the person who knowingly and willingly accommodated her.
My children suffered - especially my older son who was around eight years old at the time.
He loved his family and hung on to hope that we would stay together forever until he heard the very words that me and his mother were no longer married.
He was shattered and I can still see the toll it has taken on him almost eight years later.
My younger son was only one year old so he has no idea or concept of what a nuclear family is.
I don’t spend any time thinking of him and only crossed paths with him twice since that one confrontation.
I haven’t seen him in years.
Now, if he were to succumb to some disease, condition, accident, or crime, I really don’t care about whether he suffered or not.
What would give me great satisfaction is the knowledge that there is one less POS guy in this world that will never have the chance to help fuck up the lives of young, innocent children anymore.
In that aspect, Fuck him and everything about him.
And for every “wayward” who does this shit knowing that children are involved and don’t give a damn about how this will impact their lives - Fuck them too, big time.
