sunshinegirl Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Imagine my surprise to find my online chat question from a month ago to Carolyn Hax (advice columnist for the Washington Post) show up in her printed column on Monday and Tuesday: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/05/AR2008090501276.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/08/AR2008090802481.html Someone referenced them in her live chat today and people were generally critical of me calling the other woman a "hooch". *sigh* I don't exactly know what to think, but I suppose I can hash it all out in my counseling session later this afternoon. Fun.
Karma101 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Not to hijack your thread, but it seems that you and I have had a similar experience w/ dating a separated man that went back to his wife. Like you did, I have been pouring over posts about reconciliation, trying to understand, and came across your story from last year (I believe). Out of curiosity, did your XBF's reconciliaton with his wife succeed?
sid3 Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Someone referenced them in her live chat today and people were generally critical of me calling the other woman a "hooch". *sigh* I think 'office hooch' was hilarious. Some people are always critical of anyone and everything. They're being critical of you by assuming your wrong for being critical of someone else? How do they know she isn't a hooch and you've chosen the perfect term to describe her. It figures, they're entitled to their opinion but your not allowed to have one that doesn't fit nicely with what they think is right. The world is full of stupid people. Don't let them get you down
Author sunshinegirl Posted September 12, 2008 Author Posted September 12, 2008 Out of curiosity, did your XBF's reconciliaton with his wife succeed? No, not at all. Their divorce became final in April; two weeks later she announced she was marrying the Other Man; two weeks after that Eric dumped me. I am convinced that at least part of why he dumped me is that he never really processed the end of his marriage. And not only is his ex-wife remarried, but she's expecting a baby in November... which means that she got pregnant before they were even divorced.

dead-dyke Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Subshinegirl, this woman is an idiot. - her last name says it all. One day, this *hack* will have to dawn an umbrella to shield her from shoes dropping, and god willing, someone will tell her w/ a smile, 'chin up - you're behaving like a child'.

Author sunshinegirl Posted September 13, 2008 Author Posted September 13, 2008 was she still sleeping with ur X before they got divorced... or are you saying she was already hooking up with the other guy b4 the divorce? No no no no no, she was living with the Other Man in another city. She was cheating with the Other Man I think as early as 2004. Jeez, I would never have been involved with him if he and his ex-wife were still involved/sleeping together.
