Hi dear lee,

Karen did talk to the wife.

What usually happens is wanting to believe that the husband is getting out of his “dead” marriage.

Then the dreaded, “If your man was cheating on you would you want to know” question. Which is really for the other woman or friend caught in the middle to feel better.

The wife is of two minds (when confronted with the truth against her will which she kind of knew anyway):

1. He cheated on me therefore I am honor bound to leave.

2. Why throw away 20 years of a marriage and children for some !@#$-y dumb girl?

So she (honor-bound) makes the husband win her back. Then they (both!) label the girlfriend as a crazy stalker type.
And guess what, they believe it! Pretty quickly. They have way, way too much to lose: a well run house (with 2 incomes to support it), kids, lifestyle, common friends.

They think of her as a Monica Lewinsky, and the husband as a poor defenseless schmoe who has as much importance as the leader of the Free World.

P.S. The wife is always Hillary.
