Author murphyross Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) He and my ex were friends, that’s how we met. We used to hang out together with his ex wife. We would invite him to party with and us enjoy the night life. He loved it, his ex wife, not so much. When my ex and i broke up, me and my MM still hang out. I taught him how to party and enjoy himself. He said he likes being with me he feels younger and i make him feel good. Edited October 29, 2018 by murphyross Link to post Share on other sites

Amethyst68 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Do you know what a gift you've given his wife? If you live in an at fault country or state his wife had now got all the evidence she needs to take him to the cleaners. I would say you can wave goodbye to the slightest chance you had to any life you had with him once he finds out it's was thanks to you! I'm with the group that say he was always trying to get back to her though. Link to post Share on other sites

I feel so bad for the "ex"es or whatever they are. So obviously your husband and married man are no longer friends? That's really sad. Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs._December Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 He clearly doesn’t know what he wants. Sure he does. He wants both. And he's going to ride this gravy train for as long the two women will let him. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
overtherainbow1 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Ok. I am the other woman. I have been with my married boyfriend for almost a yr now. He left his wife for me but now i found out that he is making a fake account and is trying to follow his wife in social media even after she blocked him and his family years ago. We had a huge fight about this. He tried to deny following her but i got a hold of his ipad and found the evidence. Why is he still curious with his wife? Is he not happy with me anymore? Should i not be enough for him? He didn't leave his wife though. They are still married. You are fighting reality here. He is cheating on his wife. If you two consider yourself "together" he is cheating on you too (with his wife, maybe others but who knows). He's already proven himself untrustworthy to you in so many ways but you have feelings so you look right past what you don't want to see. I wonder why they say affairs are bad, OK not really. But it's obvious that the moment you stepped into this man's life it has been turmoil. Get healthy, seriously, get yourself mentally healthy. Examine why you ever considered starting this "relationship" (and I'm using this term very loosely), and make strides forward in your life to be the person you want to be. You so clearly hate that he is not fully yours. So forget about it. Be the better person. Link to post Share on other sites

Amethyst68 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yes there are men like that, men who would do anything rather than admit they were wrong but I don't think you have to worry about that here. You have to realise that, by your own admission, other than your friends no-one knows you are together so who would he be trying to prove anything to? I would still bet he is actively trying to get back with his wife. Can I ask why you've accepted your MM keeping your relationship a secret? After all if you're truly a couple it's extremely disrespectful of him. Link to post Share on other sites

What do I think? I think nobody can provide the reassurance that you are seeking - that this man loves you more than his wife and he will chose to be with you long-term. Which is why, I think you should move on with your life and find a nice, single guy to date. Let him go back to his wife, which is probably where he will end up anyway...

So, it would seem that you are quite dissatisfied with the situation... i would rather be with him in this situation than lose him. But not enough to end the relationship. You would rather continue and live an unsatisfied and unhappy life with him, rather than lose this man (that you don't actually have). That's very sad. How many more years are you prepared to spend in limbo - secretly dating a man who is married to another woman? What would have to happen for you to decide that you deserve more and end the relationship? Link to post Share on other sites
elaine567 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 We cannot do anything. He is apparently not getting a divorce and you are fed up being his OW, there is no magic solution here. You cannot force his hand and change him into being your perfect partner and you cannot alter the fact that to some you are just his OW and always will be in their eyes. That is the problem with affairs. MM even when they leave home may still treat you as an OW, like this man is doing here. He is still sneaking around with you. His wife was his real partner she is the legitimate one, the one he showed off to his friends and family. This man is not proud of you, he hides you away. I watched a documentary last night about big age gap couples and I was impressed by how they stuck together and how proud they were of each other, their love, their relationship and their kids (despite criticism from the naysayers). You don't have that basic level of love and respect with this man, nothing like it. Don't cross oceans for people who wouldn't cross a puddle for you. Link to post Share on other sites

bathtub-row Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I just posted in social media couple pictures of our latest outing. He did not stop me from doing so. Is this progress? Progress on your part? No. Your immaturity in this matter is staggering. Why can’t you just leave the whole thing alone until you know for certain the two of you will be together? Progress on his part? Probably not. Just because he didn’t stop you doesn’t mean he’s ok with it. He’s probably just avoiding some childish tantrum from you. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BaileyB Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I just posted in social media couple pictures of our latest outing. He did not stop me from doing so. Is this progress? It’s more like a desperate attempt by an insecure woman to flaunt the relationship in his wife’s face such that she may become upset and end the marriage. What you fail to realize - if she hasn’t done that already, it is an unlikely outcome. She holds all the power here, you are probably as annoying to her as a pesky fly that won’t go away. Or, it’s a despearate attempt by an insure woman to pressure the man into filing for divorce. Again, what you fail to realize is that this kind of immature behavior is likely to anger him more than anything else, and cause him to end the relationship with you because you are too demanding and more trouble than you are worth.

Amethyst68 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Honestly? I'd suspect when he visited her he blocked your account from her social media so she doesn't see your posts. BTW, I mentioned it earlier but you never confirmed if you live in a fault or no fault country/state? If it's a 'fault' state do you realise what you are by posting in social media?

BitterSweetz Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 This is a common story (VERY common) in a few facebook groups I am in. I read a few red flags on the first page of posts and this last page. Let me go through the rest of the posts... doesn't look good though. Link to post Share on other sites
BitterSweetz Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 i found out that he is making a fake account and is trying to follow his wife in social media... We had a huge fight about this. He tried to deny following her ... found the evidence? It is called stalking, and it is typical behavior if my hunch is correct Link to post Share on other sites
BitterSweetz Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 first of all, OP I am in my 30's, we do not have much time to be wasted!! all the red flags point to one thing i was hoping it not to seem like... he is hiding you, keeping you a secret he is showering you with love, gifts, and financial security. he doesn't want to marry you he does not want to divorce his wife his wife blocked him he made another account to stalk her he does not want anyone who knows wife or mutual friends to see you together he has been lying to you he is codependant on his parents girl, he sounds like he has an anti-social personality disorder or sorts they don't have relationships, they have supply. people they use for things they need or want whether physical things or emotional needs, ego strokes etc.... look it up, BPD, NPD are two most popular personality disorders. I have been in 5 abusive relationships out of the 6 relationships i was in. I have been educating myself since 2015 after i found what gas lighting was it lead me on a rabbit trail of information. Now i see red flags everywhere. maybe I am wrong, maybe he had a mid life crisis? I fell in love with a married man once, i had empathy for her because i had been cheated on before. The most him n i did was kiss n have feel up sessions (very heated) but that is as far as it got. His wife got the help she needed n she was back to her old self. I miss him but i knew i wouldnt be able to forgive myself for breaking her heart. it don't sound good, best to tell him you need a break and to get your head set straight <3 best of luck Link to post Share on other sites
