(YOU) -thing they want- (THEM)

#3. When the ego is bruised they'll come back as if NOTHING happened.

When you have those three things in a man of that character...Run like hell cause he's not going to change. They did it because in their mind THEY DESERVE to have YOU and -thing they want-. Some men are motivated only by Ego, Ego, Ego (me me me).

There's women who manipulate like that too, and the men should run like hell as well.
I think this pretty much says it all. I think these men are narcissists, perhaps sociopaths, charming, manipulative and want their cake and to eat it too. I also think they don't want to grow up and commit to one person, as it's more fun to stroke their ego and pretend they are really the stud.

What’s strange about it?

At the time I opened it up, saw how long it was and exited. I often do that with threads that are too long.

Not really. Perhaps contracting HIV from straight white males is fairly rare, but it happens. I must say that it wasn't foremost on my own mind when I made the STD reference though.

So you can enjoy the same rights and freedoms of which they have already availed themselves. So you can make the same choice they already made. So you can prepare yourself for the worst and get ready for life on your own. So you can decide to either be a victim or take control of the situation. So you can get yourself checked out for STDs. So you can either fix your marriage or walk away.

Kids or not, you still get to choose. Your H had children when he elected to cheat. You have the same right to self determination he has.

That's just a few of the reasons. And I can think of nothing worse than being told by the 'other woman', or a friend/acquaintance. If the cheating goes on long term, it's just a matter of time until the wife finds out. Cheating is bad enough, then add in making a fool out of me in front of friends and perhaps co-workers.

I would always rather know the truth. Knowing would force me to wake up and start seeing this man as he really is.

Absolutely.

There must be nothing more humiliating than when everyone but you knows about your cheating spouse.

F that. Grow a pair and confess.
