I’m with Guin and wondering where the husband comes into all of this. Does he know?
The plumage don’t enter into it. He’s stone nuts.
What a fascinating question.
I have never met the husband, who I will refer to hereinafter as “Bob.” I can state with certainty that:
- Bob works for the same company (it’s a big company you all know. No, not Microsoft.)
- Bob is a macho man.
- Bob has driven drunk a few times and got into an accident earlier this year, which thank the good Lord didn’t hurt anybody.
Draw what conclusions from that you will. Now, according to The Whore, we have four additional claims; Bob has denied her physical affection for years; Bob has always hated Scott; Bob is emotionally manipulative and mean to her; Bob knows nothing about the affair. Of course, I imagine you folks are all thinking the same things I have always thought about these things:
- Bullshit
- Bullshit
- Bullshit
- Bullshit
The truth of the matter is that Scott (and so, by extension, me) DOESN’T know what Bob knows, or to what extent Bob has earned his wife’s disgusting, slutty behaviour. According the The Whore, Bob has done next to nothing to repair the relationship…
- Bullshit!
…but of course Scott doesn’t know that either. Naturally, he believes whatever The Whore tells him about Bob, because that’s emotionally comfortable for him to do; it allows him to rationalize his own behaviour and makes him feel good about himself being The Knight In A Shining Golf Shirt, in a weird hotel-room-behind-the-hubby’s-back sort of way.
Now, I’m inclined to accept that someone who drives drunk is a dolt, but people aren’t that two-dimensional, and I DON’T believe Bob is a moustache-twirling villian, even if his Asshole Quotient is higher than average (and he’s got to have a high AQ to marry The Whore, right?) I know what I firmly believe: whatever The Whore says is based on what The Whore thinks will benefit her; whether or not it’s true is of no consequence.
I have to stress that I don’t see The Whore’s behaviour as STALKING, per se, because “stalking” implies the target of your affection has either clearly demonstrated disinterest or has not been afforded the opportunity to do so. Scott, because he is an emotionally retarded little weasel-boy, has NOT demonstrated this. He’s stopped sleeping with her because he wants her to be forced to choose him, but he’s still “Her friend” and hangs around with her and picks her up from the airport. (Dumbass!) He isn’t telling her not to call. So so far, he’s deservin’ what he’s gettin’. I AM worried The Whore WILL stalk him when the times comes, though, because she’s a nutty old slut.
The really really sad thing here is that if, for some reason, The Whore left Bob, Scott would probably be quite happy to take her back and take her in…after all, she wants him now, right?
Nothing to add, but this is an awesome thread!
Should be confusing, but is instead very well written, good job!
I am curious of the ages of the parties involved: how “old” is the old Whore? (Sun damage can age you pretty badly.) And how old is Scott? Obviously old enough to know better!
Good rant, and I dispair along with everyone else here about the situation.
[hijack alert] It is interesting, because I know of a Whore in Seattle too. My dear friend Ryan hooked up with a woman (unmarried) that was a “femnist goldigger” and had many men paying her bills. Ryan was looking after his dying father, and met up with the Whore, who dumped him a lot. Dumped him the day his dad died. But came back soon (Ryan had inherited a lot of money) to mooch more off of Ryan.
Ryan’s sister and I just started calling her the Whore. I don’t even think I know her last name. But her first name (to me) is Whore.
[End of hijack!]
I’m gonna have to start writing some of these phrases down for future use…
