I needed this. I found the OW on Facebook and I feel like she's prettier and she is definitely thinner. But when I look at the child support papers and see that she has 3 children by 3 different men (sadly one being my husband) I realize that she is less then me. I have never cheated, my only child is with my husband and she is more beautiful then his other child because she was created out of love not lust (I do feel sorry for the OC because of this though).
Me - 25
FWH (BF at the time of A) - 27
DD - 10 weeks
His other daughter - 1 1/2
DDay - May 9

Thank you so much for this post. I needed this so much today. I am a new found out and absolutely reeling from the pain and shock. My first husband was a serial cheater and we divorced many years ago. I thought I had found a good egg but sadly he has fallen to the OW looking to build his self esteem after 16 years. He swears she did not know he was married and feels bad he deceived us both. He was the lion and we were the innocent prey he said. I think it is much different than that, but time will tell. She was his massage therapist and we were both registered in their system. So I feel she knew exactly what she was doing and went in for the weak one as you said. Thank you for giving me the strength today to see I am not at the back of the pack. I am in front and will only grow stronger as time goes on.

I'm so glad I had just swallowed my last sip of coffee, or I would be mopping it off the monitor right now. I'm still laughing! Your analogy has definitely made my day! Thank you!

I think today I finally came out of the shock and was hit with reality. I really needed something like this. I am printing it and reading it everyday!
