Name changed for this and also prepared to get an absolute flaming.
I'm stuck in an unhappy 8 year relationship with a 3 year old DD. I cry almost every day from us arguing and we have had filthy rows during lockdown, our families hate each other and we have been in separate beds for about 5 months. I am financially dependant on him.
About 5 weeks ago I met a man online. He is married with 2 children. We have the same hobbies, work in the same job field and have the same kind of personality. We've joked that we are male and female clones of each other.
Its the most bizarre emotional feeling but from the word go we've had an amazing connection and we've shared everything about our lives, relationships, sexual fantasties, you name it. We chat everyday (sometimes until the early hours) and have skyped a few times. He's said I am his best friend and last week told me he loved me, to which I reciprocated. He's even talked about leaving his wife but said he wouldn't until his children were older. He wants to meet up after lockdown. We live 80 miles apart so we aren't on each other's doortsteps or anything.
Basically I'm asking for people to talk some sense into me...do affairs ruin lives? I genuinely haven't felt like this about anyone before and he said he feels the same, he told me I am his soulmate. Is this real or all in my head? I feel terrible for his wife and children...but I'm so attached to him already. If anyone has any positive stories to share I'd also like to hear them.
Thanks for reading. Prepared for huge flaming.
