    The best prediction of future behaviour is past behaviour. He won't leave his wife until she kicks him out. Then he will find another vistim for his sick games. RUn away from this man an find someone to love just you!

    Honestly I posted my story because I know it was time to walk away a long time ago but truthfully I don't know how. I go back and forth about whether he will leave his wife. Their marriage was doomed from the start. But that doesn't mean he wants to be with me and I know that. That's why it's so hard and it hurts like hell seeing him everyday. We do love eachother and i know he cares about me I don't doubt that. I just doubt whether that makes a difference in how he goes forward. His wife has her suspicions but she still thinks that he's talking to the crazy woman and they go back and forth and sometimes I get dragged into it cuz the crazy girl has my number and she often send pics and messages. I think I just want to feel like... I'm not the only one in the world who knows what this is like. I already know it's wrong and i should walk away and he's a liar. But really I feel so empty and confused and overwhelmed and I need support not lectures on right and wrong.

      I don’ think anyone is lecturing you on right or wrong, if you feel that way I am sorry. We as former or other women KNOW EACATLY what you are going through, that’s why we are sharing our experiences with you. I would love to tell you that all will be well, he will leave and you will live happily ever after, HOWEVER this is not likely to occur. He has a history of infidelity, he married a woman while you were involved with him, he has lied to you, these things don’t equal happily ever after I am sorry. To leave is hard I know, we all know how hard it is, however while you are still in this situation you are giving this man everything he wants, he has his wife, child, you and more than likely other women(this can’t be ruled out given his history). If you truly believe in your heart this man will leave his wife, make your relationship public and one day you will not be at the receiving end of an email telling you your husband has been unfaithful to you then by all means stay. I wish you much clarity.

    In the next 6 months I'm hoping they'll be divorced or separated and we'll be in an exclusive relationship until we decide to take things further. I know that's a long way off from what is likely to happen. But I havent put my life on hold waiting for this because obviously if it was that easy for him not to be with her then he would've never married her. Obviously if I was so important he wouldve never married her. It hurts and I feel like no one in the world understands because most people fall in love with a married man either not knowing he was married at first or after he's been unhappily married for a long time. With this guy i was there for his engagement celebration at our job where everyone gave him gifts and money and wishes them well. Everyone looked at me half crazy when they saw that I didn't buy him anything.

      We all understand and are writing the things to you because we have the experience and perspective to have a pretty strong prediction for what is going to happen. You are way too young to be in this situation! There are amazing and available men everywhere...you are putting an tremendous amount of your life on the idea of hope....be very, very careful. Love is complicated and hurts no matter what the circumstances! It sounds like you are not ready to walk away; but just be prepared for the eventual disappointment and heartache. I wish you the best and please keep us all posted!

    It's not that simple to just walk away. For one... I love him and that's not exactly forgettable. For two, we work together an I'm really not interested in quitting my job. We work in a small place where I can't avoid him. He also stopped talking to the woman who was harassing him and I forgive him for that because she was crazy and i too was seeing other people at the time.

      But you are so young and have a bright future ahead of you if you can get past this man. You KNOW he isn't healthy for you. I understand you are in love with him. I remember the first time I was in love too, but I knew he wasn't good for me either. I got over it. Don't ruin your youth over this man. He just isn't worth it. Your story isn't that different from anyone elses except you kept seeing yours after he showed you that you were not important enough to be his wife. Open your eyes. How far are you going to let him take this and let him keep disrespecting you? You are worth more than this man is willing to give you! He proved iit! Be strong and get a man worthy of having a treasure like you. ; )

      Honestly what makes you think he is going to leave his wife within the next six months because he said so…they just got married. He is a liar he isn’t going anywhere, he has trapped you in his web of deceit and has the nerve to bring the church into it. It isn’t easy to walk away, however you are wasting your life with this man if he loved you so much WHY didn’t he marry you?

    I don't even know where to begin with this! So instead of telling you the things you already know, I'm going to tell you to run like hell and don't ever look back! He is a womanizer in the worst way. Do yourself the favor and dump his *** quick! The sooner the better!

    I agree with the comments below. There are so many red flags that it is hard to know where to begin...this is a situation that will not have a happy ending. Love with conditions is not real love. Do any of your close friends know about this situation? It sounds like he is very conflicted and had the chance to do the right thing. Everything sounds like it is on his terms. Figure out what you want and where you see this relationship six months or even a year from now...

    Yea, if he is a religious man and he got married while loving and seeing you, that should tell you he really is a "disaster"!!! He just wants to keep you on the side forever! Are you willing to continue without any commitment from him or even an ultimatum? Very hard...I know, I love someone elses husband too. Only he is not in love with her and they are seperated by now. I´m giving the guy an ultimatum and taking it one day at a time as painful as it is! Good luck to you.

    You know what to do…STOP and start seeing this “man” for what he is a scumbag who hides behind “god” and the church. He is a coward, he plays with your feelings, his wife’s, and any other woman he can get his hands on, there is already evidence of this occurring. Really forget the sex, stop talking to him and move on. It’s all there in front of you look at it.
