I did not, however, know anything about his marriage until he filed for divorce. Did not even know they were having difficulty. There was always a boundary... but that’s impossible. He was grooming you!

Every single one that shares any personal information, huh? I told a friend of mine that’s a girl, that I’ve been married 20 years. This is beginning of me grooming her. Alright! I’m on the right track. nonsense again. So silly, the ones that say that just aren’t over their own A’s By "personal information" I'm sure the reference was to very personal information. Telling someone you've been married for 20 years is not that personal. Telling someone you don't sleep in the same room as your spouse is personal and I would consider that "baiting" a person, if not grooming them. It's not nonsense. Someone who's been in that position KNOWS it's not nonsense.

Moving home is a big step as you say but it could also be a fresh start for you and your husband? What’s preventing you from ending your affair ? Only you know the answer .

Especially since the two of you are now waiting on his wife to make a decision for all of you.

I feel for you Scot, I really do. You are stuck in two dead end relationships and you feel like you lack the courage and ability to take control of your own life. I hope you find that somehow. Moving out of the home you share with your soon to be or perhaps now ex husband (if I’m understanding this correctly) seems the logical first step. Moving away from your affair partner and/or getting a new job would be the second.
elaine567 Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 I think before it is all too late you need to take stock and decide whether leaving your marriage/selling your house is indeed the right thing to do. Is it really all so hopeless? Or is your judgement clouded by your love for this MM? My guess your MM is likely going nowhere even if his wife found out tomorrow. She will reconcile as she has little option not to, and he will go back to her. That is if you even manage to prise him out of his home in the first place... If you believe this guy will be your happy ever after, you may be in for a big shock... I am not going to persuade anyone to stay in an unhappy marriage but sometimes it is better to stick with the devil you know... 2
BaileyB Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 2 hours ago, elaine567 said: My guess your MM is likely going nowhere even if his wife found out tomorrow. Indeed. You are sticking around under the assumption that his wife would file for divorce if he was discovered. What happens if your assumption is wrong? After all, he was already previously discovered and she stayed, did she not? If the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, where exactly would that leave you...

Guaranteed hurt - get with a man who is married to another woman and refuses to leave her.

I got from him what I wasn’t getting from oh affection and fun. In a way he helped show me that there’s more to relationships than what I had. Me and oh have been through so much it’s changed us and our relationship I’ve not been happy for years.

Me and oh have been through so much it’s changed us and our relationship I’ve not been happy for years. This sounded so much like me 6 months ago . While I don’t know your exact situation I think it’s universally always true that affairs cloud our perception of reality . At the time I though My affair gave me exactly the things that were missing from my relationship and there is absolutely no one that would have me think differently-it wouldn’t have mattered what they said or who said it -I believed 100% that my marriage was over and my affair partner was who I was meant to be with -that was who I wanted to be with forever. Honestly it’s only when you’re truly out of the affair that you will be in a place to truly evaluate and decide on what’s right fir you -it’s only then you’ll really consider the impact Of your decisions on your kids lives and yours in the longer term. Maybe a long term relationship with your OM will work -You know the chances are high but putting that to one side -all I would say is you’re in no place to make big decisions about moving house right now -something that will undoubtedly impact hugely on your kids . just stop and think -take some time don’t be rushed into selling your house it’s a massive step and don’t let the momentum of the affair push you into moving either -slow things down and do it at a pace that won’t see you jumping around and rushing into anything. Maybe the relationship with your partner is over fir good but see it fir what it is /was and don’t compare it to what you have with you AP that’s just unfair and unrealistic Edited May 31, 2021 by Snakesalive 1
