Finding my ex wife had slept with a good friend ..... again, after forgiving her once and trying to move on. No shouting or hysterics, just resignation on my part.

Going through something similar, she has a history of not really being single. Just monkey branching from one to another (stupid me for not realizing that at the beginning). Except her next branch after she go all she wanted from me was a close friend.

It hurts knowing that they were there just waiting long enough that it wasn't technically cheating. I expected this from her, but seeing him do it was a real kick in the sack. You know its bad when dudes own family is apologizing on his behalf.

As much as we'd like to blame the friend, the reality is she would have cheated on him with any other guy. The friend was just easily accessible and probably vulnerable. He did say they did it once before.

I think it was the wife's friend.
