What does the cheating spouse think once they've left their spouse for the OW/OM???

I have a thread in the Private Member section but I wanted advice and opinions from posters in CWI section.

I have been wondering what or how your spouse feels/thinks/acts once they have left you for someone else.

For example, my STBXH of 31 years has left me for another woman.

Are they thrilled that you are finally gone and they don't have to hide or cover their tracks anymore?

Do they feel relieved?

Is the thrill of sneaking around gone?

Do they ever look at the OW and think to themselves that she was a part of ending my marriage?

Do they resent the OW?

I suppose mine is relieved that 5 years of deception is over.

Is there anymore who has left their spouse who can tell me what or how you felt?

I know the emotions and reactions are different with each person but I'd like to hear what everyone thinks.

Thank you. Very Hurt

Put the internet to work for you.
