Woman’s reaction to daughter marrying a married man blasted: “Oops”
A mother who "found it funny" that her daughter's fiancé is a married man because she herself "pinched" another woman's husband has received a storm of backlash on Mumsnet, the U.K.-based online forum. In a post shared on Mumsnet's Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) , which had over 100 comments at the time of writing, user BarbaraPickle said: "My aunt is laughing that her dd [dear daughter] is engaged to a married man...the reason my aunt found it funny was because she herself pinched another woman's dh [dear husband]." In a January 2018 article for the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), Wendy Wang, the director of research at the IFS, said: "In general, men are more likely than women to cheat." According to a General Social Survey (GSS) from 2010 to 2016, 20 percent of men and 13 percent of women said that they've had sex with someone other than their spouse while married, the article said. However, this "gender gap in infidelity varies by age," Wang explained. Among … [Read more...] about Woman’s reaction to daughter marrying a married man blasted: “Oops”

I lost myself in my marriage – now I want something different from life
I feel lighter, happier, more myself. I feel like me again, but not the same old me I once was – the wife, mother, colleague, daughter. This version feels reassembled, as if scaffolded from within. Missing pieces of the jigsaw puzzle have been found, not down backs of sofas, but at the end of a long dark tunnel otherwise known as divorce. It took two difficult years to make it through that tunnel. Vigilant, trying constantly to find the light ahead, I eventually spotted glimmers and followed them, unenthusiastically, mind, given the long trudge to the exit. Two years in that tunnel and just as my friend, Claire, warned me, that’s how long it takes to get over the shock of a divorce. I emerged a few weeks ago, blinking in disbelief like a mole. I’m out. I’ve made it to the end. To have gone through something as intense as the past two years and remain the “same old me” would be nothing short of foolish. I’ve grown and evolved as a person, and I’m not alone. Divorced or about to be … [Read more...] about I lost myself in my marriage – now I want something different from life
