An Open Letter To My Replacement (The Other Woman)!

I've been meaning to write to you for a long time now. I've finally realized (not that I spend a lot of time thinking about it) that when you came in for your job interview, you were interviewing my hopefully-soon-to-be-ex for much more than he was interviewing you for. You were looking for an easier life not just a job. You were looking for a Sugar Daddy, and he fit the bill quite nicely as he was already in full blown mid-life crisis mode.

After he hired you (of course he hired you) I was nice to you, I welcomed you and told you I hoped you would like working here. I was being honest as he was not a nice man to work for and I often joked that he needed a revolving door as most employees didn't stay that long. I never thought anyone would deliberately go after a married man. I am the type that always tries to see the best in people, I guess that isn't always the case.

You knew he had a family and you didn't care. I had hoped that maybe you would want a family too, that if you got pregnant maybe this divorce would move along quickly, it hasn't. Silly me, I didn't realize you had been married before to someone your own age. I guess you didn't like the lifestyle it afforded you. After all making a life together from scratch is hard work, I know, I helped make this life you are now enjoying.

I didn't want to believe that women did these things to each other. As long as they do men will continue to be in charge of the world while we keep stabbing each other in the back (and waiting in line for the restroom, but that is another story). I will never do that, I am a great supporter of my kind.

I don't think you realize that you did not steal him from me. He was already gone. He left emotionally after we had children, one day at a time for many years. So in closing, I would like to thank you, you saved me from spending the rest of my life with someone that didn't deserve me!
