I'm the Chappaqua blonde, grey eyes, great smile and skin, 115, who was looking for a married man, 40-45, reasonably fit, must send pic etc etc.
I found my guy - the exact guy, in fact, that I was looking for
from the outset: my philandering husband. To the other 250+ married creeps who replied over the last two days - you should all pray your wives don't catch you out like this. Its so easy and obvious .. one doubts your collective intelligence. BTW, the 'meeting' at Starbucks in Greenwich never happened. I thought it made for good 'realism' though.
We won't be meeting next Tuesday at the Yorktown Starbucks. I have moved to my sister's house. "Jenni" who you spoke with on the phone was an actress and probably earned the easiest $500 of her life. My lawyer taped the conversation. My lawyer also has a copy of your response to my ad, and transcipts of our three IM conversations.
To send "Jenni" a pic, including me with my face blacked out, taken at our anniversary party, was utterly unbelievable and underscores the contempt you apparantly have for me.
I've also taken the PC and your other laptop. My lawyer will have a computer expert check them. I suspect you've done this more than once.
No doubt you think you've been very clever. I suspected something was wrong in February when M****** told me that you and C****** had been talking about internet "dating" at the club. C****** told M****** that you seemed very knowledgeable about it and that you had mentioned Craig's List casuals several times.
I'm not heartbroken now. That was yesterday. You've lost a wife who adored you. Faith is a two way deal and you blew it. You are an a-hole and a complete shit.
I've left a print out of this on the kitchen counter although I suspect you'll probably read this online before you get home, when you next check out the casuals.
I have had somebody remove and destroy our bed. When you get home you can sleep in the guest room. I have cancelled our dinner with J* and P**** Friday night. I have told my parents that we are divorcing and why. You should speak to your father. You should understand that as a consequence of your actions you will cause great sadness and heartbreak to a good man who has shown me nothing but affection, and whom I love dearly.
I've put all the jewelry, and the wedding ring you gave me, into
the storm drain at the end of the road. I've sent your mother's rings back to you father by recorded delivery. I didn't enclose a note - you can explain to him.
I have an appointment for a full STD check this afternoon. If I have the merest hint of any infection, I will send copies of your email, the IM chat and the pic you sent, to all our friends, your family and your work colleagues. Believe me, you will understand the meaning of the saying "revenge is a dish best served cold". I suggest you say a prayer that you haven't given me anything.
I'll see you in court. Don't call me - if you do, my lawyer will get a protection order against you.

I suppose the biggest reason it seems fake is because if the woman was really all lawyered up, as she suggests, the lawyer would be screaming that she should not post something like this.
But maybe she doesn't listen to the lawyer.

Interesting to me anyway: the William Congreve wiki link you provided, he's also responsible for the phrase "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast" along with the "like a women scorned" line you mentioned. I would've bet Bill Shakespeare was responsible for both of those. I don't know nothing about Craigslist or cheatin' husbands, but I'm glad I learned about William Congreve tonight.

Replying to a CL ad and following through with it are two completly different things. I spent a week in San Jose after my divorce was final last year and posted a few CE ads to CL at the suggestion of a old college buddy. I had a number of women reply and chat a good game, including some who were obviously married, and none of them followed through with it.
I had phone conversations.
I traded photos.
I chatted with some of them in ways that would make most of my more conservative friends blush.
Not once did I get laid.
Flirting with a CL ad posted seems to be a great way to pass a dull day at the office.
Just saying...
Now, I suspect that the ad is a fake too. There's no way a woman would dump all that jewelry into a storm drain. Mine took all the jewelry when she moved out with the man she'd had an affair with and they pawned it all before the divorce was final.
Plus, this lady doesn't know the meaning of a dish served cold. Revenge is something that I wanted to extract on my cheating ex until I heard what Frank sinatra had to say about it: "The best revenge is living well."
Of course, the guy's a putz for using a photo from their anniversary party though.

And dumping a wedding ring down a storm drain? I have no problem believing this, provided the emotions were strong enough.... and the jewelry he bought her might have been crap anyway.

That living well is the best revenge seems a little to much like denial to me. What happens if the revengee is living better?
Frasier: You know the expression, "Living well is the best revenge"?
Niles: It's a wonderful expression. Just don't know how true it is. Don't see it turning up in a lot of opera plots. "Ludwig, maddened by the poisoning of his entire family, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act by living well."
Frasier: All right, Niles. [heads into the kitchen]
Niles: [follows him] "Whereupon Woton, upon discovering his deception, wreaks vengeance on Gunther in the third act again by living even better than the Duke."

Dear K. Not really pal. Just having fun by squishing an insect.
When my soon-to-be-ex gets home, I have a few additional suprises for
him. His stamp collection is in the kitchen garbage. By way of the
shredder in his den. He had one stamp that I couldn't quite bring
myself to destroy - more about that in a moment. Second surprise:
there's a lucky kid in Larchmont who is now the proud owner of half a
dozen very old baseball cards including a 1950s Mayes or Hayes or
something like that. Oh, the stamp: its a little blue thing and Andy
didn't want to pay its insurance premium. Anyway, I got one of his
little black stamp holders, superglued the stamp into it - then I went
for a nice afternoon drive, and stopped for lunch. I had sesame coated
tuna tartare and salad, and a glass of Sancerre. Then I stuck the
little stamp holder thingy with a good blob of superglue to the
underside of my table. I hope my ex-beloved has fun over the next month
figuring out which restaurent its in.
As I said, revenge is a dish best taken cold.

I just received this sophomoric mail:
"I just wanted to respond to your post. I know I wasn't one of the
men that recently emailed you. But why the harsh remarks about all the
men that post on craigslist? I was happily married for 4 years and just
found out that my wife and mother of my child has been cheating on me
for the last 13 months. So....I mean really, not all the men here are
scum. Some of the women can be pretty deceitful as well."
Whats your point James? The vast (I mean absolutely HUGE) majority
of posters here are guys. My guess is that the very few "women" posters
are eithers hookers or scam artists. Sure, women commit adultery too,
and I'm sure for you the feeling was as horrible as the feeling I
experienced. But you think your wife's unfaithfullness gives you carte
blanche to act the same way? Be a man for your child's sake, you
spineless little turd.
*************
I'm back from my doctor, results in a few days and, otherwise, I'm
done with this whole sorry mess. Once I send this, its a hot bath and a
large gin martini. Tomorrow I start a new life.
Some of the posts on CL have been critical of me for using CL to
catch my husband cheating. I am (was) his wife. We were married 11
years and I adored him, assumed he adored me, and that he was as happy
as I was. Thats what he told me. Since I had my suspicion in February,
I went out of my way ensure we had plenty of time together, a time when
anything could be discussed, including a week together in Aruba, and
another in the Bahamas. Nothing was said. I don't particularly want to
discuss my sexlife here, but I will say that during this time, things
were vigorous and daily. He had his opportunity to put anything on the
table. He didnt commit a hotheaded crime of passion. I could probably
get over a drunken fling with a cocktail waitress. He planned
premeditated adultery, and likely has done repeatedly. Thats why I plan
an immediate divorce. As I said, I was heartbroken yesterday. I've
moved on today.
Before I go, I want to make it very clear to you what I think about
the activities you guys (specifically, the married guys) get up to
here.
Quite simply, you're pond-scum: you are prepared to risk any happiness
that might remain in your marriages against the your lack of
self-control, decency and the promises you made to your wives. You're
prepared to risk the happiness of your children. You're prepared to
risk bringing disease to your wives. It's utterly contemptible. Be men
and get divorces, if thats what you really need.
I received a lot of emails and pictures in the last two days. 80%
of you are unattractive, semi-literate crude baboons or just plain
deceitful. The other 20% are clueless fratboys who shouldn't be allowed
in charge of real penises. I found a particularly ugly category in
those (married men) who sympathized with me against my soon-to-be-ex's
betrayal, and in the same breath, offered me comfort and TLC. Pond
scum.
All messages are deleted so you can all breathe a sigh of relief.
But I do have a good memory for faces and if I'm ever alone at a bar or
restaurent or shopping mall and one of you hits on me, or passes me,
believe me, my every instinct will be to spit in your faces. And if
you're with a woman, believe me, she and I will have a very direct and
interesting conversation.
So if you see a well dressed blonde, 41, 5'1, 115 with grey eyes and a great smile and skin, I suggest you look the other way.

Some of the posts on CL have been critical of me for using CL to
catch my husband cheating. I am (was) his wife. We were married 11
years and I adored him, assumed he adored me, and that he was as happy
as I was. Thats what he told me. Since I had my suspicion in February,
I went out of my way ensure we had plenty of time together, a time when
anything could be discussed, including a week together in Aruba, and
another in the Bahamas. Nothing was said. I don't particularly want to
discuss my sexlife here, but I will say that during this time, things
were vigorous and daily. He had his opportunity to put anything on the
table. He didnt commit a hotheaded crime of passion. I could probably
get over a drunken fling with a cocktail waitress. He planned
premeditated adultery, and likely has done repeatedly. Thats why I plan
an immediate divorce. As I said, I was heartbroken yesterday. I've
moved on today.
Before I go, I want to make it very clear to you what I think about
the activities you guys (specifically, the married guys) get up to
here.
Quite simply, you're pond-scum: you are prepared to risk any happiness
that might remain in your marriages against the your lack of
self-control, decency and the promises you made to your wives. You're
prepared to risk the happiness of your children. You're prepared to
risk bringing disease to your wives. It's utterly contemptible. Be men
and get divorces, if thats what you really need.
I received a lot of emails and pictures in the last two days. 80%
of you are unattractive, semi-literate crude baboons or just plain
deceitful. The other 20% are clueless fratboys who shouldn't be allowed
in charge of real penises. I found a particularly ugly category in
those (married men) who sympathized with me against my soon-to-be-ex's
betrayal, and in the same breath, offered me comfort and TLC. Pond
scum.
All messages are deleted so you can all breathe a sigh of relief.
But I do have a good memory for faces and if I'm ever alone at a bar or
restaurent or shopping mall and one of you hits on me, or passes me,
believe me, my every instinct will be to spit in your faces. And if
you're with a woman, believe me, she and I will have a very direct and
interesting conversation.
So if you see a well dressed blonde, 41, 5'1, 115 with grey eyes and a great smile and skin, I suggest you look the other way.

I wish CL would stop taking down the posts. This bitch is funny... I hope she really did do it. It would sadden me if this is a hoax. Although, it's true that she has no evidence that he would have actually gone through with the sex part - maybe he just likes flirting...
And, DragonBoy, you write:
Now, I suspect that the ad is a fake too. There's no way a woman would dump all that jewelry into a storm drain. Mine took all the jewelry when she moved out with the man she'd had an affair with and they pawned it all before the divorce was final.
Well, for one, it wasn't your wife who was "scorned", it was you. Of course your cheating wife would pawn her jewelry - she has no emotional attachment to it at that point. And, secondly, speaking as a woman, the "throwing down the storm drain" scenario is entirely feasible if her emotions were running rampant. Something she may regret later, but oh well. If it were me, I would have just left the ring on top of the note... much more powerful. But she's a nutjob, so of course she would do something rash like throw it down the storm drain.

I've put all the jewelry, and the wedding ring you gave me, into the storm drain at the end of the road.
This sort of thing does happen (see Mongo: Adventures in Trash) though I have never found jewelry.

It's not how I would react (my husband knows his only escape is with a toe-tag attached), but I can't help but think, "you go, girl!" Provided the story is true, this guy is scum. If this is how she works through the pain of her husband fucking around, who am I to judge? I just hope there aren't any kids involved; this kind of venom will affect them.
shoppingforsanity: leaving the ring on the note would have been great. I'd probably be the sad sap that would keep the ring, get drunk and weep over it on a regular basis.
And why did CL delete the posts?!

The Gender Genie thinks the author of the first piece is male. It also thinks the author of the second piece is male - I only entered "her" responses. I'm just saying...

Well, there's two sides to every story. A woman who gets this psychotic over the end of a relationship couldn't have been the easiest person to live with. Not that that excuses screwing around, but things are rarely black and white.

Well, I've said it before, but the one thing we can be sure of about gay marraige is that it will lead to gay divorce, which will of course lead to gay divorcees.

I wouldn't mind getting caught cheating so long as I'd get matching toe-tags. One toe-tag would be gauche.

As I said, revenge is a dish best taken cold.
Ok, clearly this is just someone trolling. Because the dish is most certainly not cold if you keep dishing out more straight from the oven. Cold means you wait. Like, for longer than ten minutes.
Sorry, I'm giving the female gender a little more benefit of the doubt in the brains department.
there's a lucky kid in Larchmont who is now the proud owner of half a dozen very old baseball cards including a 1950s Mayes or Hayes or something like that
Riiiight. I've never heard of this before. So original. So clever. "Oh, I don't know, Mike Bantle or something. I've personally never heard of the guy." See also: "Oh, RedAction Comics #1 or something. I don't know." See also: "Some car... I think it was called a Pore-sh. I don't know. He loved it more than he loved me." Blah, blah, blah.
I've got Shenanegans on the line.
Mine took all the jewelry when she moved out with the man she'd had an affair with and they pawned it all before the divorce was final.
Bitches, man... bitches.

It looks vaguely familiar, I think it's from a late 70's candy commercial.
