Do you think the W stays because of competition

[GPFan]

In my situation money is not the problem. She told me "you would like for me to leave him wouldn't you". She says that nothing he says is the truth. The difference is he is lying to her about me and denying everything but he tells me everything about her(she confirms what he has said).

 

So just thought it might be a competition thing.

From what you have shared, it could well be that his Wife is hanging in there to spite you. However the real question is why is he hanging in there?

 

Bottom line, she can't force him to stay so why is he still there?

This is as told by the OW. You have to remember that in truth they only know half if not less of the whole story. Do remember that while these men lie to their Ws about the OW they are also telling lies to the OW about the state of their M and what type of effort is being put into the M. Until you have the OW, the H, and the W all posting together here then you only have part of the story.

 

I was actually referring to threads I have read in the Infidelity and M sections from BS, and also from other similar sites, so no, not referring to the story from the OWs perspective at all.

I can't speak for any other OWs, but personally I would not have wanted my BW's M, nor anything like it! ...Why settle for a hollow shell, when one can have the real thing?

 

I couldnt agree more. I would never ever want the sort of marriage they have. Hes got the freedom to do what he wants with whomever he wants but the M lacks so much in so many ways its hard to fathom.

I can't speak for any other OWs, but personally I would not have wanted my BW's M, nor anything like it! The R I have with my SO is one based on love and respect, a true partnership of equals. Why settle for a hollow shell, when one can have the real thing?

 

Here, here! I agree wholeheartedly! Look where their 'M' got them!
