Update, pls

Quote From: mrs_affair

I hate to see anyone in the same situation as I am in...it hasn't been an easy road I've taken.  My affair has left me hurt and feeling used.  I have finally figured out that us women think with one head and a man thinks with his other head!  Although I didn't fall in love with my OM I did have (and still do) have very deep feelings for him.  We haven't been together for a couple of months now and it is getting easier.  I still run into him at our kids school and we talk on the phone sometimes but we haven't been intimate.  When I do see him it brings back all the memories...good and bad.  I am just tring to focus on my huband and kids, and being the best wife and mom I can be and pushing any thoughts about HIM aside.  My advise to you is to end it now.  The longer you are with him, the more you will get hurt.  Run, don't walk away, now-- before you get too attached to him.  If you two are meant to be together, he will leave his wife.  If he is just using you for some temporary fun, you will fine out soon enough.  I believe I am hurting alot more that he is.  Men have a way of detaching themselves emotionally, and us women just get emotionally attached!  I hope you do find a way to cope with your situation without anyone getting hurt.  Good luck to you.
Your situation caught my eye, but I notice the date is from December 2005...I am wondering how you now are doing?  Have you been able to keep the distance from this OM even with your kids in school together and do you still talk to him?

I had been seeing this guy for about a year on and off and he became my first love.I realized I loved him after I noticed how much his actions affected me emotionally. Well, the new year was arriving and he had promised that this was going to be a great year for us and that our relationship would move on to the next level. Quite ironically and to my surprise, I got a phone call on New Year's Day. It was his girlfriend of nearly  3years. I can't even explain how that flipped my world around, I started shaking uncontrollably like I never had. I felt horrible and I was so disgusted in him that I literally felt nauseated and my stomach would not stop turning. He called like five times, texted me and basically begged for me to talk to him. When I decided I needed some sort of explanation I called him. He had said that she was the one in the way and that he wanted to be with me. Obviously I'm not stupid and understand that there was no engagement ring or lock that tied him to her, but I feel like a fool. I feel like I gave him everything and more meanwhile our relationship was a LIE?

The Other Woman

Quote From: ritehere

I'm going to apologize ahead of time for answering your question with a question, but it will help you to understand your situation.

What are you MOST afraid of about a possible call from this cheater's wife?

As a spouse of a cheater.  I would love for one of his love interest to rat him out!  Not because they would cause trouble but maybe end the pain a spouse is in wondering if a spouse is having a affair, even if it's only an emotional affair.  I would not be mad af the other woman but appreciate  the truth.

the truth will set you free.

She said my husband was following her, she is a tolded stalker, and mentally unstable, she remarried and still can not let go, we had to get attorney just to get her off are backs, even the courts thinks she is a whack job. They didnt believe anything she reported and it got dropped, she even went as far as to post flyers about my husband, she is totally pissed that she didnt get what she wanted, when I found out about the one nite stand, she repiled to to me with she sleeps with all kinds off married men and there wifes dont have a problem with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The "Right" Other Woman

Quote From: nikki_pvn

You are really  are unhappy and bitter. Re read your posts, all they consist of is anger, 'everyone else is to blame attitude', alot of hate and bitterness.  I don't see any 'magic' in your relationship with this "very high profile" man with "soooo many connections", oh yeah, he is married too...    there is no magic because it does not exist. 

  

You say, "I will be with him and I will have what I want".   I don't understand what kind of advice you are looking for if  you have already made up your mind?  Many people on this board have given you good and sound advice, your response is usually callous and rude. 

  

You say that his wife should "remember where her place is", she does, she is with her family. 

  

You can badmouth that woman all you want, she is and always will be the mother of his children, and will always have a place in her husbands life.   His children will probably never accept you,  someone who was there to help destroy their parents marriage.   I doubt that he will allow you to come before his kids. 

  

As someone has previously stated in a post, I hope that you do print all this out and one day in the near future you will be able to read them again and see how foolish you were. Seriously, you are so bitter and angry now, do you really think that this relationship is going to turn into a healthy and happy one?  Never.   

  

  

  

  

 

For the person who is telling the "other woman" what she is really doing to her life, her MM's family life and the MM's wife.. AMEN !!  These "other women" have no life.   They go after anything that is lying on the side of the road.  In this case, someone's husband.  They are either not able to find a unattached man of their own,  or just looking to trade up.   I noticed that this "woman" keeps mentioning how high profile this MM is and how many connections he has.   She doesn't love him, she loves what he has, and can provide for her.   And she doesn't care who she has to run over to get it.   May he will cheat on her just like he did on his "terrible wife".

go on living in denial

Quote From: lutt0031

I am the other woman who posted and said that I have no obligation to her. I stand by what I said and here's why. When I met this man he told me that he was marriage was ending. The two of them were "together" for the children. He led me to believe that his wife had no interest in him either mentally or physically. This was entirely evident to me because he spent a lot of time with me either in person or on the phone. She does not work and the kids are in their late teens...they do not need a nanny. She shopped all day and bitched at him constantly. He let me listen to a few of the phone messages she left him. I've even heard the two of them speak on the telephone. She's horrible. I would NEVER allow another person to speak to me the way she did to him. While I realize that he should have ENDED the marriage before seeing me, I agree, but that's not reality. People stay together for all kinds of reasons. I do love him and I have no doubt that he loves me. Where was this woman when he spent all this time with me? Why did she not bother to inquire where he was or who he was speaking to for hours on end? Why did she wait until she found out about me to get a reality check? Why am I the "wake up call"? This is total BS. I understand that people take each other for granted but don't sit around and do nothing to work on your marriage and then play the victim. Yes, he cheated and he is wrong but it takes two people to make a bad marriage. He may have went out and cheated but she negelcted him.

So many people have been so kind to you and tried to get you to understand.  This man is lying to YOU and using YOU.  What is between he and his wife is none of your business.  You chose to be with a MARRIED man, that automaticly means, you have to share him with his WIFE (no matter how much of a bitch she is).  She may have been a very nice woman before he screwed her over. You may not be his 1st affair (I know he says you are, but he lies, remember).  Maybe the 1st affair caused her to be this way, or maybe, after you live with him, he is not as wonderful as he is when he's taking a break from the real world with you.  You are just setting yourself up for more heartache.   I wish you luck!

  My husband and I coudnt be stronger, he spends all his time with me and my children and we take vacations together by are selfs it is wonderful, she has acussed us of stalking her, but I think she is just pissed because she thought she was all that and he would come back with her. She got really pissed when we found out that one of are other in employees was telling her thing about are new realationship, the got layed do to the bussinee slowing down, when that happened she just went sideways because she had know more info coming to her. I could write a movie about this, I am waiting to come home and find a rabbit in a pot, We have hired anttorey.
