I'm the OW. He ended it.

[NeverEverLand37]

I know I'm going to be torn apart but I need some support.

I left an abusive relationship.

Then I got involved with a married man. I knew it was wrong but I loved him. It went on for a year. He has now ended it.

I feel broken. Does anyone have any advice on how I can move forward?

He’d leave her if he wanted to. People do it every day.

It's always 'complicated' with married men. Everyone knows that.
The most ballsy woman I know discovered her husband was cheating. She rang the OW up and demanded a meeting. They actually got on OK together. They compared notes. It was indeed 'complicated'. They compared all the lies that he had told them.
This is the good ('complicated') bit. They then went together and confronted the husband and asked him to explain the different lies he had told them. It was devastating. He was devastated. OW was devastated. Both women dumped him.
I do not recommend that OP contacts the wife. It's over. Move on.
However, I do recommend that and cheated wives contact the OW. I do recommend that any OW who find themselves in a 'complicated' situation contact the wife. It will shed a lot of light on the situation and reveal a lot about the married man.

Yes this is very typical. A married person tells their fling all kinds of bollocks to justify their cheating.

It always surprises me that the fling doesn't realise they're being lied and cheated on too. Do they think these people have different personalities when they are with different people?

its hard isn’t it! Sometimes you have to just stand back and see it for what it is! He took advantage of you when you were vulnerable already. He will probably try to restart this several times and mess with your head. Block, walk away, prioritise yourself health and healing and don’t look back, take it as a lesson learnt.

Leaving his wife to be with you isn't complicated. There's serious consequences that might be unpalatable, like family rejection, emotional disentanglement, loss of secure housing and financial status but it's not complicated. Unless it's the King or such, then maybe it would be constitutionally complicated. Other than that, it's just a choice. He's made the easy choice. That's not the biggest surprise in the world, tbh.

OP was no victim here she knew what she was doing and went in with her eyes open I'm not saying that to twist the knife
but making her a victim again isn’t going to help her move on
what is going to help her move on (I get the impression she has ) realise she fucked up block delete and move on

You honestly have no idea how his relationship was. He's not going to tell you it's cracking now is he?!
My husband and I were spending lots of lots of time together, had a fantastic sex life and he was really attentive and loving to me all while stringing a younger colleague along over text and calls. She thought he was in love and he dropped her in a second to come back to me when I kicked him out.
You'll grieve and move on but it's nothing to the pain his wife would feel if she knew

Oh and a couple of years later when I started to wise up to him and we moved toward separation he was straight back to her, telling her he was leaving me. Don't look back op. No man who can do what he did is a good idea.

Partly true, but I would say HE probably ruined HIS marriage, no ???

Yep she needs to work on her self esteem and make better choices .

And the usual lie is that he isn't sleeping with his wife. They only stay together for the kids. They're just like brother and sister really.
Sometimes they throw in an illness, just to complicate things.
