How Long Does It Take to Get Over an Affair?

“Keep your chin up, soldier!” said the woman from Ohio.  “You will get through this.  It just takes time.”
“But how much time?” I asked the stranger.  I was thankful for her comment on my blog, but wasn’t buying it.
Back then, I was suffering deeply from the loss of my so-called “other woman.”  Our affair had [...]

The Delusions of a Cheating Man.

I know a guy who, just like me, cheated on his wife with a woman he worked with. Over beers one night (see What I Learned from a Fellow Adulterer), he told me a story that blew my mind.
See if it blows yours.
He said at the height of his affair, he seriously considered asking his wife [...]

An Adultery Blog Makeover.

I’ve had this in the back of my mind for some time, and now I’m going to act on it.  In the coming days, I’m going to make serious changes to this blog.  Less adultery-talk.  More…whatever.
The reasons for this are many.  First, I’m tired of writing about a woman who simply cannot be defined.  Because [...]

My Public Relations Problem.

In many ways, my “situation” could be a lot worse than it is. I could be living in a hotel, but I’m not. My family and in-laws could hate me, but they don’t. And my bosses could learn I had an affair with an “unstable” employee who threatened legal action when they [...]

Fill Out Survey and Return.

My recent chats with new blog-friend Misfit Mistress have reminded me of something I’ve known for a while.   People who blog about the lover they can no longer have really want only one thing.
Answers.
Yes, it’s easy for readers to get lost in the details of this blog and others like it.   We hurting-types yammer on [...]

Other Woman 2.0

UPDATE:  I’ve just been informed that the below-mentioned Facebook page has been deleted.  As usual.  As with everything and everyone in her life.
I’m embarrassed to admit I have a Facebook page. It’s nothing against Facebook, but my days of posting silly comments on someone’s photo are long over. (I’d rather be blogging.) [...]

What I Learned from a Fellow Adulterer.

By 6:45 on Friday evening, I was dog-tired, and in no mood to go to a bar. I had been up since 4 a.m. that day taking one of my kids to a field trip drop-off location.  The only thing that sounded good was pizza and a Blockbuster movie. Still, I knew I [...]

A New Respect for Ex.

I promised myself I would write no more about my former other woman.  It’s all been said.  But in recent weeks, I’ve gained a new “appreciation” for why she did what she did.
(The world must be coming to an end for me to say that!)
Since the affair, I have been called every name the English [...]

The Monster Returns.

When I speak, thousands of people listen to my words and believe what I say.   I am the picture of authority.  A trusted journalist of more than twenty years.  The winner of many prestigious awards.
Yet to my family, and my former other woman’s family, I am a liar, deceiver and all-around bad person.
How the hell [...]

Bipolar, Adultery and ‘Fool Husbands.’

Sooner or later, everyone writes a post about the search terms that led readers to their blog.  I’ve seen many posts like this, and they tend to be quite humorous.  People get such a kick out of the wacky word combinations that drive traffic to their blog.
Although I don’t think there is anything funny about mine.
In [...]
