Affair. How do I get myself out of this mess?

I have been sleeping with a married guy for a few months. He says he loves his wife etc but that they are not sexually compatable and that he needs someone to please him in the bedroom. This has somehow ended up being me. I love the attention I get from him. He is a very complimentary guy and makes me feel good about myself but I know what were doing is wrong and has to stop.

Problem is I dont know how to stop it. I have just got divorced so have been in a difficult place and I think this is a reaction to the stress of the past few months.

I know it sounds stupid not knowing how to end it, but I need this to be over perminantly. Somebody is going to get hurt if it carries on any longer. I dont want to find myself saying to him one week that we cant see one another anymore then falling back into bed with him the next.

I know people are going to flame me for this. I know its bad and Im ashamed of myself for it. Im not even sure how it happened in the first place. I just want to get away from it all.

I hope people can understand that this just happened. It wasn't pre-meditated and I never set out to hurt his wife. I feel disgusted with myself and would be gutted if anyone in rl ever found out.

could do with some advice on putting a stop to this.

I wonder what he says about you to his buddies in the pub?

You are allowing yourself to be used. You have no idea about the state of his marriage, only what he chooses to tell you.

And if he "tries it on" with you again (do people still really say that ???), tell him to fuck off and find himself another mug.

Maybe his wife 'sounds like a dragon' because he is traeting her like sh*t! I think if I had any suspicion that my DH was doing this, or even just talikng to someone else ( not a therapist) about my shortcomings in bed, i might sound like a dragon too! He has told you he loves her and is renewing his vows because he sees them spending their lives together. He is treating you like a tart. Except you are giving it to him for free. Have some more respect for yourself and stop trying to convince yourself that the wife somehow deserves what he and you are doing to her.

OMG, yet again I agree with anyfucker, but I was also thinking about your colleagues. If he's slagging off the woman he's about to renew vows with, then he may spread stories about you in work. Are you in any way business rivals?
I would warn him off this and tell him you have the messages as an insurance policy. Leave him in no doubt that you have realised he has targeted you while you were vulnerable and that the penny has dropped that hes nothing more than a user!
I think you are right someone will get hurt here - you, and it's already happening!!!

Please stop seeing this man

He is a complete wanker

Please read what you have said

Renewing vows with wife
Slags her off in the office
Moans they aren't sexually compatible to the woman he's fucking behind her back
Moans She doesn't give him oral sex to the woman he's fucking behind her back

I wonder what he tells is wife whilst she's sucking him off
making his tea
fucking him
listening to her hopes and dreams
planning the rest of their life together?

I'm sorry you've been through a divorce but get a grip and dump this wanker.
Please try not to spread your unhappiness any further

OP, are you ok ??

BNM, I am in a similar position. H of over 20 years had an affair and we separated. Our sex life had been pretty well non-existent for a decade but I thought maybe that was normal (?) and we were - actually still are - good friends. Now, though, the marriage is over and I am having an affair. The man is not married but is with his long-term girlfriend which is virtually the same thing... He doesn't want to leave her. I know it is all wrong, but it is so amazing being desired again after all these years that I can't resist it. I have never had such fantastic sex in all my life. I feel ten years younger, confident, excited, happy but also incredibly guilty and I know that at least one of us and possibly all three are going to end up getting hurt. I actually don't think I have the strength to give him up, at least at the moment. Maybe when sexual obsession wears off I will be able to, but I am worried that it will have turned into love, if it hasn't already, and I will be cornered in a hopeless and furtive relationship for years to come. Has anyone been in this position and do you have any wise advice? BNM, did you manage to give your man up?
