Hello I'm having an Affair with Married man and I want to stop

36 replies

I have been having an affair with a married man for 8 months and I can't stop. I am married too for 10 years. MM has been with wife for 12 yrs and has a 10 yr old, he says he loves me and cares for me but cannot leave his wife. I have fallen madly in love with him. We see each other 1 x a week and talk during the week 2-3 times a week. My husband is wonderful we have no issues, he adores me and would be devastated if he found out. I have read a lot about affairs, addiction, reasons why people do this, and I am in counseling to try to get this bad cycle to stop. Any advice would help. I want my life back.

Of course you can stop. You just don't want to.

My husband is wonderful we have no issues,

No issues apart from the fact that his wife is a cheater who has no respect for him.

How do you get some willpower? Tell your husband and give him the chance to find a future with someon who loves him.

Dies he say 'my dw doesn't understand me?' If he does, than more fool you. He's spinning you a yarn.

I think you need a bit of self-respect, never mind willpower.

I had an affair. My husband found out 15 years later. My children will never love me the way they did, my husband won't come near me. The kids have lost all trust in relationships. It has destroyed my life, my kids lives and my husbands. If this hasn't put you off and you are okay about the fact your family will never respect you again then carry on as you are. If you think you won't get caught ... Wrong I was caught 15 years later and it had been over for that length of time. Really think about it. I wish someone had told me.

Tell his wife. Then either the affair will end, or he won't be married.
Or you could be honest with both of your partners and form a free-love commune.

Imagine the look on your husbands face if he found out. Imagine him leaving you. Imagine getting divorced and your life falling apart. That should make you stop.

You haven't actually said if you still love your husband or not. If you don't, then just tell him and move on. It's unfair to your husband if you are pretending things are okay if they aren't. If you do still love him then you should stop this straight away and stop contact with the married man immediately.

Most individuals today do not know the difference in between a digital book and an ebook. Actually, many people believe they're 1 and the identical.

stick with it, if you want, but if he leaves his wife for you... your job's just become vacant and guaranteed you're going to be in exactly the samepostion as his wife is now.

why don't you ask your husband for some advice?

Delete his number and all other contact details.

Don't see him again under any circumstance.

Get some self-respect and some respect for your husband too.

Become born againGrin. Jesus is what you need right now. He will give you all the will power you need and more and when He does keeping your legs closed won't be a problem. Good luck.

Grin Daley.

Or don't take the pants off in the first place?

Op have you considered getting a little part time job to pass the time you currently spend shagging? Bit more productive and financially rewarding.

Oh, wow, are you ever in the wrong place for actual, helpful advice. Or indeed, for any acknowledgment whatsoever that to err is human. Good luck.

You will always be 2nd to his wife. By telling you he can't leave her he's firmly putting you in your place as a bit on the side and that's all you will ever be. Seriously is that what you want?

If it is then leave your husband and live like that, you're a grown up and can do it if you want. Men have had
mistresses for years, its nothing new. Just be prepared to be dropped like a hot potato if the wife does find out .

Or make an effort with your husband and rekindle your marriage. Get rid of your lust for mm by thinking clearly about the risks you are taking with your family.

It's up to you and I understand lust and how it can cloud your judgment, but you need to decide which man you want before it all comes crashing down around you and both men decide you're not worth the aggro.

OP - just think of the devastation this will cause. That should make you stop. And if you have no issues in your marriage, why have an affair with a married man Hmm
