Why could it be yours

You sound really pathetic. There is a special place in hell for people who pursue relationships with married people.
By the way OP, I'm the child in your situation and it has broken my whole family irrevocably in the last 18 months. My mother is a shell of her former self. I hope you feel guilty. You should.

Maybe his wife has decided she doesnt want sex with a lying cheating creep or he has given her an sti after one of his affairs. Get rid of him, tell him it is over and get some self respect.

This has got to be made up ?
I don’t believe this story ?

Please borrow his testicles or grow a pair

PurpleTrilby · 13/03/2020 19:59

I mean this kindly, you say 'I've tried' to cut contact. But trying is not doing. You need to DO it and stick to it. It really is a decision in the end, and then sheer bloody mindedness.

Fantasiaa · 13/03/2020 20:02

Speak to him about it. If you are starting to have feelings for him, there is chance he is too. Just because it started as simply sex doesn’t mean their can’t be more.

He clearly isn’t happy in his marriage. Speak to him.
Best of luck Flowers

there is chance he is too

😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh dear god...

caffeinefix · 13/03/2020 20:04

This has to be a wind-up.

Gre8scott · 13/03/2020 20:04

Because I'm married and its sexless a lot of the time due to illness but its someones husband someone sitting in bed or sitting on the couch in the home they have built together. You could have had sex with a single man at the start. You knew he was married and wanted to get the attention off someone attached shame on you

1forAll74 · 13/03/2020 20:04

I wouldn't tell the wife at all, you will just have to deal with your lovelorn self now,and end things if you can.

Affairs are always happening,all over the place. I know at least three people in the village here,who are having an affair, quite unbeknown to their partners. But would never get involved in disclosing this to anyone in real life. People have to just sort their own lives out, good or bad.

AnneLovesGilbert · 13/03/2020 20:05

Not sure why everyone says they always say it’s sexless and are lying. According to a large majority of men and women posting on here, no one’s at it anymore and they prefer a cuppa and a biscuit to a roll in the sack. This guy might be lying but he might not. He’s still a cheating arsehole and OP is a bit silly but there’s no way anyone can say he’s lying about not shagging his wife when a lot of women complain their husbands aren’t shagging them and/or they’d happily never do it again.

If his marriage is so awful why doesnt he get divorced

bobstersmum · 13/03/2020 20:08

If he's cheating on his wife he's an asshole.

Fantasiaa · 13/03/2020 20:08

Just wanted to add, you’re going to see a lot of hate on her as per usual but don’t let that stop you from finding your happiness.

🤍🤍

EmeraldShamrock · 13/03/2020 20:09

Why could it be yours He could be any pp's DH the point is he is someone's DH.
I don't think the thread is genuine.
If it is tell him about your feelings he'll either leave his wife or move on, either way you'll have your answer, being his bit on the side is horrible OP not only for you but his wife and family too, stop sleeping with him while he is deceiving his wife.

HappyHammy · 13/03/2020 20:11

Wow, shagging a married man helps him stay married, what an honour, Confused

Sosounhappy · 13/03/2020 20:15

Just typing a message to say goodbye

Hi OP.

I don't know you nor am I privy to your situation so I'm sure as hell not going to judge you, the only advice I can give you hun is to walk away.

He's as good as told you that he's not leaving his wife. And I'm sorry to tell you that he has his cake and is eating it. His wife being the cake and you the chewed up spat out crumbs. Its going to sound harsh but he doesn't love you, I suspect the only reason he's stuck around is because you've given yourself to him easily. Men don't tend to fall in love through sex where as women do. Now you've got the shit end of the deal because you let emotions cloud your vision.

Please, for your own sake, break it off and walk away.. You're only going to get further hurt in the future.

Best wishes, op.

Sosounhappy · 13/03/2020 20:21

Thank you moody

I hope you realise an important ending to this story

‘There is no love for you from him nor any love here for you in this forum’

Sleep in Peace

Moodymagpie · 13/03/2020 20:23

No problem. I've been there... And it's shit.

NoMoreDickheads · 13/03/2020 20:26

I feel you OP, it's happened to me several times.

Many wankers will say variations on the classic line of 'my wife doesn't understand me'- a recent variation seems to be to say they have a sexless marriage by the wife's choice. You do not know this- probably it's all lies. It's designed to make us think their actions are marginally more justifiable or something. My one said his wife 'declared herself asexual' and even said he endured it for ten years before he began to seek out a sex life for himself. He didn't mention it to her because he 'didn't want to hurt her feelings.' He really sold this to me! I was a shmuck.

My mum made a good point 'a man for whom sex is so important wouldn't put up with a sexless marriage.' So, it's highly unlikely.

They will even message you a lot to keep stringing you along. We're just ego strokes to them at the end of the day.

If it's anything like me, you feel very lonely in the times when he's not in touch. Really raise your awareness of those times- times when he's not available to you, he doesn't give you the emotinal support you need, it's clear you're second best, he does the bare minimum etc etc. Notice the gaps and the treatment that shows he only gives a shit when he wants to.

It may be that he even spends hours or occasional nights with you- but if you think about it you can also see all the times he isn't there.

Very occasionally, these blokes will leave their wives for you. This happened to me once but it was a mistake for me for varius reasons.

Maybe it'd help to tell him how you feel, if only so you can get it spelled out again from him that he's not planning to leave his wife for you or anything? That might help you move on. You honestly don't have much to lose.

But to me it was spotting the gaps, the times he wasn't there for me, the ways that there was little emotional intimacy even as friends, that helped with the latest one- that and realizing I was being used.

Don't get me wrong, he put on a good show of caring for me- when he could be arsed.

Just looked at your username 'Sosounhappy' Sad . He's making you miserable. And he's a user. Walk away xxx
