What are some affair horror Stories you know of? Financial, emotional, suicide?

[Crusoe]

A lady I knew had an affair with her rich boss, the owner of a large auto dealership, left her H and married the OM.

 

She and her new H met one of her sons at the airport when he returned from Vietnam. The son had a new attitude and called her a name, the step father took issue and attacked her son, who defended himself by elbowing the H in the chest. When the new H got out of the hospital, he

was never the same and died of a heart condition within a year.

 

That is when she found out that though the dealership was named after her H, his XW owned it, and he had been nothing but a hired figurehead.

After paying his medical bills, she had nothing left and was forced to live in a one bedroom apartment.

 

Her four kids disowned her and never let her see her grand children, who lived in the same city. She died in her late 80's, a loney old woman, barely able to pay her bills, with only a dog for companionship, and never knowing that the first of her great, great grandchildren had been born less than two miles away from where she lived.

 

That gave me goose bumps. There's some real black hearts in that family.

The worse affair story I heard was my own. Nothing dramatic - it just happened.

A man I knew got married young, head over heels in love, they had a baby and set up home together; within 2 years he had an affair, left the wife and his daughter, and was too busy living it up with his new woman to be a father or contribute child support. His daughter was adopted by the ex-wife's new husband who then became his daughter's dad. The wayward husband stayed with his new woman for just ten years. Then he married her sister...

 

The guy's mum didn't speak to him for years, she was so upset and angry with him for abandoning his only child, her first grandchild. He eventually died of cancer 30 years later, aged 52, never having had any more children and only being reconciled with his daughter fully in the last 6 months of his life, and she held him in the hospice as he breathed his last.

 

He said his biggest regret was not being the father he knew he could be -wanted to be - and he said he felt the loss more and more deeply as each year passed.

 

I think that's a pretty sad outcome of infidelity. That man was my father.

My boyfriend is married, yes, and was not separated when I met him; however they were on the verge of separation having lived apart previously due to his wife leaving to be with someone else.

 

Because I grew up with a dad, who I call dad, it never really crosses my mind that infidelity played any part in my life. To my knowledge neither mum or dad have ever cheated, or my sister. I imagine that sounds odd. It was reading this thread that made me look at it with fresh eyes.

Black hearts indeed, but having known both parties, well called for. The XW did her best to humilate her XH and lord over them how much better of a man she now had. Also, her oldest daughter complained about advances that her step dad was making.

 

He had the money and her and the OM were able to get custody of the kids. They ran away and were charged with being juvies before all things got settled. From what I know. black hearts she earned one day at time.

Over the years I've heard where two BH committed suicide.

 

One did it while WW OM and his kids went on a Xmas vacation to the Islands. They came home to find BH hanging in the basement.

maybe these people shouldn't be cheating period. Its just stupid. IF your unhappy with whoever your with then leave, quit playing stupid games.

Thanks Silly Girl for clarifying. I think I had your situation mixed up with another's.

I always thought that my own story was pretty bad. During my Sophmore summer my mom started an affair , while My dad was stationed in Germany. After he came home, he caught them together and she left us, to be with the OM. After 3 years of her trying to make a "new family", with us kids , her, her OM and his kids, she found out that he was cheating on her with another woman. Four years later, she and Dad reconciled, but one of my sisters will not speak to her (mom) and my Brother is barely cordial. It's been 14 years, but the fallout hasn't ended, nor will it ever, in my opinion.
