Well...where to start. Was married. With kiddies. Had affair. Feel in love BIG TIME. Got very scared. Affair off. Then on. Then off. Then on. Now off. Felt so right. But on-off nature meant trust was low. Anywaysup. Back with family now. Lovely to see kiddies. Wife is very keen. But I am uncertain. Very. Can't stop loving my RiRi. What to do?

If one has kiddies how can bring apart ever be "good"?

Poor lass, she deserves better than you.

"And if I needed advice I might actually ask people that went outside, etc."

So why are you posting this here in the relationship section unless you want advice? And why are you insulting people here?

CinnabarRed · 12/01/2012 20:24

I'm not sure what you want from us. No-one here can tell you, or any other poster, what to do.

FWIW, I think that children are better off with separated parents who are happy than unhappy parents clinging on to a failed relationship.

tethersend · 12/01/2012 20:24

Not a bad thing to go back because you were sad about leaving the children- but it's not enough to make it work.

It is sad.

something2say · 12/01/2012 20:26

OK so leaving aside the bashing for a sec - you were sad to leave your kids, and went back, but the marriage doesn't sound in great shape and you are concerned about the life change if you do separate for good.

Missing the kids sounds like a good thing. But not getting back together merely for them.

Yes you would have to downsize and so on financially if you did split, but how about the need for love for both you and your wife?

What was the shape of the marriage prior to the affair?

WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:26

It won't work then. I think I know that. Sad. But kiddies are amazing. Wife too. She can be happy elsewhere.

Arrrrggghh at your sentences.

Maybe if you stayed inside more with your family, op, and kept your dick in your pants you wouldn't be in this predicament, talking to us losers.

HedleyLamarr · 12/01/2012 20:37

The only way it'll work is for you to go no contact with the other woman. That means no replying to texts, emails and not answering the phone, and focusing all your energy on your relationship with your wife. If you can't do that, the decent thing is to explain to her why you can't and leave. Sorry.

WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:38

Gees. Grammar police. My sentences are complete and fine. You sound like RiRi...telling me off for muddling "few" and "less". Fuff. I am slowly (as I'm a man) seeing that love is the thing. I crave it. I had it. I lost it. I miss it. I miss RiRi.

kunahero · 12/01/2012 20:45

you didnt lose love, you threw it away. you arse.
Both women deserve better than a knob like you.
Your DC deserve better than a person like you. You do not deserve to be called a father.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 12/01/2012 20:46

Your sentences are really not complete, And it is very hard to leave.

Look. If you don't love your wife then leave her. Do the right thing. Don't leave her in the dark while you lie about your feelings.

WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:46

It's 8.45pm. Anyone going out? I am. It's a big World out there. Lots to do. Fun too. Bye Grin

OP posts:
ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 12/01/2012 20:46

Hard to read. Not leave.

WhasThisAllAbout · 12/01/2012 20:47

Sorry OP, but I can't help laugh
at your posts. You sound ridiculous.

And 'RiRi'?! Unless Rhianna is your mistress (in which case, fair play), calling a grown up that is quite disturbing.

Good insult though. I daresay people 'outside' have already told you you're being a knob and THAT is infact why you're on here looking for sympathy.

kunahero · 12/01/2012 20:50

OP make sure your mum knows where you are if you are going out in the dark.

WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:51

Ouch...MN wounds me...Grin

OP posts:
HedleyLamarr · 12/01/2012 20:51

In which case leave your wife. Be honest. You know it makes sense.

WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:55

It does. I'm a man, though. No sense.

OP posts:
WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:56

Feel better...a bit. Ranted. Love RiRi. Need to act.

OP posts:
salmonskinroll · 12/01/2012 20:57

Well I would go outside, but it's dark and I have a vagina.

Fairenuff · 12/01/2012 20:57

You are saying that you don't love/respect your wife any more. You only want to stay with her for the sake of the children. What you don't seem to realise is that you can still have a very good relationship with your children without living with your wife. If that is what you want, make sure that you put their needs first. That is what a good father does and that is what your children need and deserve.

WeCouldHaveHadItAll · 12/01/2012 20:57

Bye MN. have a nice night with laptops, tea and opinions. I will give the real World your love xxx

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 12/01/2012 21:01

Fuck, somebody beat me to it with the "did you have an affair with Rihanna?" quip

OP, piss off now

you were interesting for about 2 seconds, then it got all "RiRi" on our ass

singingprincess · 12/01/2012 21:01

And here we have YET ANOTHER self entitled, self absorbed, ubervictim.

Being "a man" is no excuse for being a supremely selfish, self obsessed toddler.

A REAL man is a grown up who knows how to respect all people...yes...EVEN WOMEN!!!!!!!!
