My wife was having an emotional affair for years behind my back

I cannot believe the depth of her deception, and I want to punch this guy!

The letters thread is now closed.

Way back, to Ben Dover

Actually, it's "cuckold", you idiot. Remember, besides being unable to reason and act like a normal, emotionally mature human being, you can't spell for shit.

Sounds like another

angry fatty.

Sunday, July 15, 2007 10:06 AM

No, dear

It sounds like someone out there is criticizing you for being a moron.

Sunday, July 15, 2007 11:00 AM

No, honey, it is

another angry fatty, just like you. Advancing age and being overweight are your problem. Hags like you can't deal with pragmatism and practicality. Go eat your 1/2 of chunky monkey and play with your tabby.

Ben's weird fixation

I can tell you that lots of us here are thin and fit, including myself, and we all think you're an asshole. It has nothing to do with fatness, which is your personal obsession and just your bizarre way of attempting (pathetically) to get back at people who call you on whatever. In this case, you bitched about the way someone spelled a word. Unfortunately for you, you happened to be incorrect. People who snidely correct other people had better be getting it right, which you didn't. You could just have easily kept your virtual piehole shut, but you didn't. Therefore, you look like a fucking idiot, once again. Again, this has nothing to do with obesity. Get it through your head. No one here likes you, or has one iota of respect for anything you have to say. I would bet my life that if Olympic athletes in top condition had to spend more than ten minutes with you, they would be feeling quite disgusted. Deal with your own assholishness, or else accept being the laughingstock here.

Listen up, fat nutjob, just

because your life is stool, don't project it to everyone else.

cuckold

cuckold cuckold cuckold

Not only are you an idiot for spelling it wrong while "correcting" someone else, you really ought to know how to spell a word that happened to you, and probably continues to happen, all the time.

P.S.

Your wife was fucking two guys: one from Yale, one from Princeton. Tough for you, huh.

Monday, July 16, 2007 08:22 PM

Funny,

I am not married fatty.

Tuesday, July 17, 2007 06:44 AM

duh

You were, though, weren't you. And for obvious reasons your wife was smart enough to be getting it from a lot better "men" than you (like the garbageman, pizza delivery boy, etc. All a big step up). Unless the whole marriage thing was a lie? Do you ever put forth any information about yourself that ain't a lie?

By the way, thin people find you revolting. Plus, I bet you're obese. Finally, those Duke lacrosse players should spend some of their settlement on plastic surgery. They are some fugly dudes. And that Reade guy should spring for a personal trainer. Don't know what he looked like then, but he's a fatty now.

Cheers!

It's always fun to see the fat

fugly, old women (such as you) being so angry at your own corpulence and the pathetic situation you call your life. It sucks to be you.

you people are so damn self-righteous

of COURSE this is "wrong." of COURSE he "should" leave her.

but come ON people. haven't we yet learned that people fuck things up ALL OF THE TIME? it's so easy for you to sit there and spew armchair analysis (more likely deskchair psychology) about what's wrong with this relationship and how the LW should deal with it.

i know that's what this "letters" section is about -- for us to spew our opinions, but you people are so damn self-righteous. could you get off your high horses for a minute and admit that even YOU have done something unforgiveable in your love lives? i have. and i find it hard to be that i'm the only one reading this column who has. why else would we be reading it.

oh, and my favorites are the people who are like "the pooorr daughter." please. are you perfect parents? i'm guessing not.

let's try to have a little more sympathy for both people in this relationship -- how else are we supposed to help them?

i do applaud those of you who've admitted to your own adulterousness on here. i'm more likely to listen to your thoughts than from those who spew the company line of "cheating is wrong and cheaters never change," blah blah.

try and see the nuance, people. try to stop thinking you're so perfect. it's not that easy.

In a word,

to the anonymous poster. Fuck off. You are one of the anonymous women afraid to use your moniker and prefer to lob bullshit, unsubstantiated comments rather than be held accountable. It is likely you are doing exactly what she is and are angry that is bullshit and she is being called on it.
