In Love With A Husband, Only He's Not Mine...

I've been seeing a guy for 3 years now. We never fight, have a great time together, can tell each other ANYTHING...Everything is PERFECT! Okay well ALMOST perfect, One problem is that he's married to someone who is not ME. I can't count the amount of times he's told me he loved me & how happy I've made him. But recently, with it being a "New Year" & all he's getting alot of pressure from co-workers about their "perfect lives of wedded bliss" & he's starting to feel guilty about his infidelities. The other night he made the comment that he wasn't sure if his "love for me" was more of a friendship kind of love or if it was "real love"...when many times before he's been the one to bring up leaving his wife, but always decided against it because there are 2 children involved. In fact HE was the one that said those 3 little words first; "I love you". I'm torn on what I need to do. Obviously I know that our whole relationship is "wrong" so to speak. I love him enough to let him go if I have to but I also love him enough & know that this feels right. So I want to fight for what I believe him. I believe in him, in us & of course in our relationship. It's obvious that the time has come for a decision to me made, I asked him what he wanted from me, & he said for me to be happy & he'd do whatever it took to see what I was. Does he not see that HE is the one who makes me happy?? th

Of course it is "perfect" you don't have to live with him, pick up his dirty underwear, or decide on day to day financial decisions etc... There is no arguing about who picks up the kids, when and who goes to the grocery store, what's for dinner tonight. If you get ill or vice versa you don't have to decide where the kids are going, do we make a will now or later, and on and on. Marriage is a JOB as well as a relationship that two people have to work at every day and when children are involved it is that much more sensitive. If he is not sure about his love for you than that says a lot. Chances are you have been a diversion from his everyday stresses of life. I would get out while you can and fine a single man worth your time.

I guess you need to figure out what he's telling his wife. Is it possible he's telling her the same things he's telling you? Tough situation, but I know you two trust each other. I just wonder about his commitment.

He sure sounds like a wonderful man to me too, I have always wanted a man who lies & cheats!
What happens if he leaves his wife for you & he is an hour late getting home from work? Are you really going to buy into the traffic jam story?
Dump him now, do not let him dump you or you will only be making his ego even bigger.

Get rid of him, he's cheating on his WIFE with you, he is dishonest, and messing with both you and his wife, if he's doing it to her, he'll do it to you, and he won't leave her for you or admit he loves you after 3 years....he's just having fun, don't you feel guilty about his wife? I know lust is easy to give into sometimes, but homewreckers and cheaters are horrible.

They almost never leave. Have you ever been cheated on? If you haven't, you will, if the two of you get together.

He is meeting some need by having an affair with you for this long. unless he is going to leave his wife, you deserve better. someone you don't have to sneak around to be with.

besides, do you really want to start a relationship that started as a lie?

I hate to bring it up, but if he cheats on his wife now, then he will do the same to you. Cheating is the ability in your mind to justify infidelity over the vowes you make. Find a new one who is unattached - it's a NEW YEAR and you can have a clean slate if you chose. It can only get worse - so severe ties and find someone who will make you their one and only because you deserve it!

Honey, you deserve WAY WAY better than that! There is no reason that you shoud have to sit around waiting for him to leave a MARRIAGE!! There is no woman on earth that should put herself through that B.S.
When a man cheats on his wife he gets a 'high' and chances are he just keeps you around to fulfill the need for that 'high' because he gets away with it. Don't lower yourself to that level.
It's a new year, tell him to hit the road and forget that he exists! I know you say that you love him, but he loves his wife and kids and I'm pretty sure that you don't want to take him from his family. If he tells you that he is going to leave them for you, think real hard about what that means and always keep in mind that 'IF HE DOES IT FOR YOU, HE WILL DO IT TO YOU!!!' What do you think makes you so much more special than the woman that he married, that he wont do the same to you? Obviously he is a selfish man and cares nothing about how his wife feels. Do you want someone like that or do you want to have your VERY OWN MAN!!! I know what I would chose! Trust me, I was the side-line girl before to a man who was married, it wont work, unless of course you intend to do that forever.
You are stronger than you think you are and you should fight for your strength, bring it out and move on and find TRUE happiness. You deserve it.
Good luck to you!

Wow do i feel for you...what a terrible situation you're in...first of all, like everyone says, if he cheats on his wife, he will cheat on you...its just the law of the land..and since he has a wife its obvious he is telling her all kinds of lies to have time with you..now is that the kind of man you want to be in love with? he has kids, thats just terrible for them..i think you should dump him now to save yourself and maybe your future children from having a dad leave them for another woman..this is just not a good place to put yourself in...you deserve to have an honest man, who will love you and only you...dont you want that? i could never have a man who has another woman on the side, it immediately makes him a liar..no woman wants a liar for a man do they?
