you're so right. but it does shed a little light why she sought affection outside the marriage. I wish them both the best.

thanks init...and yes, emily, you are right...in this case, both parties are to blame. He was pretty distant with her during their whole marriage, and he will admit that. However, she was in the wrong by going outside of the marriage, not by trying to solve what was wrong within the relationship. My wife kept telling her that if she had a problem with how things were going to either fix it and get out. And that doesn't mean going and seeing some other guy behind his back. That doesn't fix it. It gets you out, but that was cowardly of her to break it off that way. And like MIKE said, The Guy should have steered clear of a married woman, happily married or not.... [ More ]

are we all forgetting that in most lousy marriages both people are to blame?

<br />Make sure you remind your friend that the reason divorces are so expensive, is because they are worth it

One other thing I will add is that she did not opt to divorce him...he busted her cheating. She lost her credibility with all of her past lies.

And people wonder why I'm a hermit! Single & free since 1982.

cashinn - I would like to know her side of the story as well. However, in the past, her sides of each story have had conflicting information in them. She would tell one person one thing and another person another story. Inasmuch as I would like to know her side, I'm not so sure she wouldn't be talking out of both sides of her mouth like in the past.

Sounds like something is missing in this tale of woe. I don't know, the wifes side maybe. Just an observation.

Your friend seems to be civilized. Maybe this will be a good thing for him. There'll be other women out there who'll appreciate him and respect him for who he is. Best regards to him.

I agree konane. He is doing well. He is seeing a girl that he dated for three years before. They are on Round 3...perhaps third time is the charm. And we know her already...no snow jobs from her. His soon-to-be-ex deserves to be incarcerated...there are plenty of things I have on her that would make her head spin if she wants to start trouble...about her and "The Guy".

<br />Sounds like his soon to be ex needs a couple of hours with Judge Judy and other daytime tv judges for a reality check.

Rick - that is what I was telling him..he is a much stronger man than me. Had that been me, The Guy might now be called The Gal. It's tough watching your best friend go through such a terrible thing. But he is much better than being with someone who lies, cheats and steals.

Your friend is lucky to be out of that marriage. His ex-wife and 'The Guy' are also lucky...a lot of guys would have lost it under those circumstances.
