fell in love with someone else after 25 yrs of marriage

Quote From: itsonlyme

I want you to know that I feel love is wonderful, but what about the man you stood in front of God with and promised fidelity?  Cheating is wrong, to put it in a nutshell.  Lets put it this way, what if you found out your husband was in the same situation with another woman?  I venture to say that you would be crushed.  You are a woman who has successfully raised beutiful children with the man you have promised an eternity.  And in my opinion, marriage is like an insurance policy.  You join when you are young and crazy, learn who you are and how to live as a couple through life, and the reward is living your retirement and growing old knowing someone will always be there. 

Do you think you are taking this man for granted?  He has been good enough for this long, doesn't he deserve the best?   

please be the best woman you can be, please don't cheat until you are seperated.  God may have put this new man in your life, but not as a gift, maybe as a test.  Ask God for his help on this one. 

I guess you would have had to have fallen into this situation yourself to know what has happened here.  Believe me I am the last person on this earth that I ever would have expected this to happen to.  IT JUST HAPPENED & I am very seriously needing some advice.  I need to go on with my life & be happy.  I have spent too many years not being happy & catering to other people.  It's time for ME-time for me to live my life.  Believe me I have talked to God every single day since this has happened.  I thought it was a test at 1st & we've been through alot of tests along the way & feel that God wants this to happen or he wouldn't let it go on.  This love only gets deeper & stronger every day.  As far as cheating, I tried not to consider it cheating as we were only talking on the phone.  After we kissed & hugged then I felt that I was cheating. Some people would have called this an emotional affair. No, we have never made love. As far as the kissing & hugging believe me I put it off for a long long time as well as the love making.  I knew I shouldnt be doing it. THE LOVE IS THERE between us & I know in my heart that I cant turn back on this & always wonder what might have been.  I can never love my husband again the way I use to. Not after the things has has said & done.  And I dont want to hurt him either or anyone else, this is why I am still here. But I believe the marriage is over & time to be happy with someone that I really am in love with & he with me.  I am doing nothing but following my HEART.

I have been married for 22 years and found out 7/07 that my husband was having an affair since 2/07, I completely trusted this man.  He says that it was just to get my attention, well there are other ways to get attention.  Affairs are selfish and hurfful to more than just the married couple.  We have four children, it does affect them and my mood affects everyone around me.  It feels like my chest has been ripped out and stomped, sometimes I can just sit and cry for no reason and yes we are both in therapy.  We have been together for 27 years, he even tells the therapyst that he constantly told the other person that he loved his wife,  My theory is how can you hurt someone you love that much.  I have made a vow that no one will ever cause me that much pain again.  I told him it would have been easier if the police had come to the door and told me he had been killed in some kind of an accident, at least there would have been closure!  So maybe you should think before you leap, someone will get hurt, and if you are looking for revenge then go ahead and do it.  If you are looking for self safisfaction masybe you need therapy.  I know that I do not  trust a man I have known for 27 years and I find that I can not believe anything he says I question everything he says and does because of his cheating.  Just remember that your spouse is a human with feeling also.
