I'm the OW and it's killing me

I need help. I am so unhappy.

This summer I left my DH of many years standing. We have children together. I got involved with a man on-line who promised me the Earth.. but when I begged for help one night, he ran away and refused to either help or even get in touch. End of relationship. All the more poignant because he knew I had abandonment issues.. yet that is precisely what he did.

But there was someone who helped me. A MM. I know it's not great. I know what I did was wrong. I needed someone and he was there. My self-esteem has been missing for very very many years now due to at times, an emotionally abusive marriage and a horrible family background. This doesn't excuse what I have done.. at times I know I am not thinking straight.

But I can't handle it, it's destroying me. I'm wracked with guilt for his family but I am now in love. Apart from the obvious, he is a lovely man who will not leave his DW because of their children. He gives me the care and attention that I have been craving for half my life. I'm finding it very very difficult to give up. I do't want t let him go..and I have tried several times.

I know there will be some on here who will judge me. And I deserve that. But there is no one who is judging me harsher than myself. Thanks for reading.

Evening all. Can I just remind everyone of our guidelines - 'specially the bit about personal attacks and troll hunting

Some really good advice on this thread, and loathe to delete it, but will have to reach for the Big Red Button if it descends into a bunfight.

Remember
xxx Peace Thanks and Thanks Love xxx

OK folks. As we've got to a 'Oi, you - outside, naaaah' situation, we think it best to delete this thread. Never had a bunfight that threatened to spill out onto the streets before Grin...

Thanks to all the lovely MNers who have shared their experiences and posted their advice Thanks.

@YonicScrewdriver

Leeeeeave It AAAAHT, you two!

Alrighty, vindscreenviper on the basis that there is no TAAT, will leave up for now but close to new posts, and delete any troll-hunting / personal attacks.
