Just curious what different guy's responses are given some different options. Select as many as you want.. it's not very scientific. :)
 
Send the guy flowers and a thank you note. But only after they get married cause you don't want to tip him off to the impending doom.
 
Need more options to include divorcing her ass and keeping the house and the dog. Might kick the guy's ass though. Would be a spur of the moment decision.

Kept the house.
Custodial with the kids.
In these moments keeping your head is the best move.
 
1. Spur of the moment, blinding rage... shoot both.
2. Keep it together and stay, take pics and tell them to GTFO.
3. Leave immediately, take time to calm down. Come home later, put all her stuff out on the lawn.

Hire a good lawyer, regardless.

I thought she did leave you a few years back? I thought you were the one that used to post a bit about it. If so, did you kick his ass?
 
It's completely hypothetical for me, I just wanted to see what some responses were. I would put more options, but I think the poll is limited to 10.

I guess looking back it's kind of funny now, cause in my youth I would have solved it with booze, but now I look at that option and think how silly that was.

It's meant to be light hearted, so if you are going through a rough time, I wouldn't advise the last option.

That said, I do like the idea of a free cheat card that I can forever hold and never have to cash in.
 
If this scenario were to happen to me, I'd hope the guy messing with my wife, had a smoking hot wife interested in revenge (but not commitment). Doubt I'd get that lucky. Laughing

I'd try to have fun with it.

Act stupid like you don't know anything.

Set up hidden cameras in the house.

Make plans to be gone, and the house to be empty to give plenty of opportunity for it to continue.

Use the video in disppicable revenge type ways.

Clean out the bank accounts, change direct deposits to other accounts, cancel her credit cards. Etc.

Like my favorite uncle always said, "Don't get mad, get even!"

Then I'd hire a good lawyer.
 
The only answer is that you leverage the situation in your favor. Possibly guilt her into a 3 way with that friend of hers that you've always had a thing for. Something along those lines.

After you have emptied the honey pot you throw her to the curb and start dating her hot friend to rub it in.

I'll be honest. I took law when I was in college and you can't use "crimes of passion" defense for shooting the parties involved and get away with it. All I know is that if I walk in on that shit there is nothing except God and myself that can stop me from doing whatever I might do. I'd hope I would have no easy access to firearms. I believe I would grab whatever would be closest and go to town. I pray to God that I would hold it together and just leave instead of doing something heinous. Here's to that day never happening!

If this happens and you stay together, keep an eye on the bunnies.

This has nothing to do with cheating, but may have something to do with divorce.
My wife said she's done cleaning the downstairs bathroom, because me and my Son shave and get ready in there.

So I cleaned it.

All the hair clogged the sink so I was dipping the washcloth in the toilet to do the cleaning.
I made sure to ring the washcloth out in the toilet and flush it when the the water got dirty.

I was almost done when my wife saw me dip the washcloth in the toilet and clean the toilet seat.

Classic!!!

And to quote a great line of jokes....."And then the fight started."
 
Ironing clothes is hard.
Are you supposed to put water in hole in the iron before you turn it up full blast?

make a round of exlax brownies and put itching powder on the toilet paper.
 
I would think that the reaction would depend on the nature of your relationship. Some people cheat because they don't feel like they're getting the attention they need with their spouse. If that's the case, to me it's somewhat understandable and maybe you can do a little self-reflection and make a decision as to whether you want to try to work on the things that led to the cheating in an effort to make it work or if the cheating was really just the culmination of the marriage breaking up anyways. While cheating is never right, the fault for it is not always completely with the cheater. Anyways, every situation is different and, at least in my opinion, it's too simplistic to think you'd have a blanket reaction irrespective of the person and the type of relationship you have leading up to it.

Honest to God, if my ex-wife would have cheated on me, the first thing I would have felt was relief in the sense that that was my ticket out of a relationship that wasn't meant to be. If my girlfriend now cheated on me, I don't think I would be mad as much as I would just be totally devastated. Who knows, life is weird.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I think a lot of this comes down to how a person chooses to interpret the event. This is true of anything in life I suppose. How you choose to interpret and thus respond to some event, is within one's own control.

Was an interesting thread, and thank everyone that took part in the survey and discussion.

Yeah, how much you were or were not expecting it would definitely play a role. If things had been ice cold between the two of you for a long time and you're pretty much checked out, maybe you don't even care.
