The Other Woman has had enough.
She’s fed up with the constant drama. Sick of Married Guy’s neediness, emotional manipulation and his constant demands for sex to reassure him that she likes him.
She was beginning to feel isolated from her friends (partly because they didn’t like him and partly because he wanted her all to himself) and subtly controlled by him – he was telling her what to think and how to behave.
So, its over and she’s ignoring his calls…
Yay!
Which of course means I am being bombarded with emails, texts and calls by him. But I am ignoring them, too 
~~~~~
It reminds me, frankly, why I’m single. I’m not good at all the lovers nonsense. I say what I think and show what I feel and I expect others to do the same.
I don’t want a simple man, necessarily, but I do want an honest one. I’m with Immigration on this one: Baggage is fine, as long as its declared.

I hear you on that one: “Which of course means I am being bombarded with emails, texts and calls by him. But I am ignoring them, too“.
And, your last paragraph shows such good sense that I feel it would be inappropriate for me to comment in my usual silly style.

Bobby Goat Gruff, you are clearly a gentleman of taste and discretion

ignore him absolutely: “without prejudice” -

Well, he’s clearly extremely needy and frankly who needs that!!!
Good for you, my angel – reminded of course of the inimitable Katherine Hepburn as Tracy Lord; ‘Tracy just sets extremely high standards for herself, that’s all’, and where’s the harm in that!

I still think his wife ought to know.

Ed – what about “with extreme prejudice” like in Robocop??!
piereth – Katherine Hepburn/Tracy Lord is my role model in all things, “My, she was yar.”
Ombudsben – I wholeheartedly agree, but I don’t know how to get in touch with her.

I feel that OmbudsBen is completely right. But, that doesn’t mean that you are the right person to tell her nor does it mean that you shouldn’t try getting someone to tell her. And, I’m so far from the situation that I can’t really say what should be done.
I really like reading blogs where the characters in the blogs are given amusing and descriptive fake names. I am not sure why that is. I suspect that there’s something more to it than just that I like the fake names. I think that it is only one aspect of there being something to the sense of humour that includes accuracy and that’s what I like.

It goes almost without saying that a man who is married and carrying on an affair without the knowledge of his wife is ipso facto Dishonest. You are doing the right thing. Let me get this right, though. Youwork with him, your friend is his lover and nobody knows how to get ahold of his wife? I sense a lack of desire to accomplish this here.
