Cakeman

I did a random search for “the other woman” on Google today and came across this website. It’s basically a forum for people involved in extramarital affairs (you can be the “OW” – Other Woman, “MM” – Married Man, “MW” – Married Woman, “MOW” – Married Other Woman.. you get the idea) to speak freely about their highs and lows. These highs and lows, laid out plainly, are inconsequentially common.

MM went on vacation with Wifey, I am a blubbering mess. Do people know, did anyone see us? Have you met the kids, god I feel so guilty! Should I tell the wife, will he file?

I AM LONELY ALREADY.

Although it was somewhat comforting knowing that some people have left their affairs and lived to tell their stories, it was depressing how the majority still struggles on. We all love them dearly. That is the "given", otherwise no one would put up with all this crap ever. What has to happen though is that we need to separate our wishes and hopes from the reality of their actions. The hardest thing to discover perhaps is that we are just not that "special".

I particularly liked what one "survivor" bluntly pointed out: "He is happy, he has two women dying to be with him, he knows how to keep both of you in line so there isn't too much drama, he is a CAKEMAN."
