Help! In An Affair With a Married Man. Posted: 05-06-06 20:34pm
:cry:
gosh I hope you all have a minute with
clear ears. I met a man about a year ago
through my professional career. Our
company was sub-contracted with his
company to provide services in our state
as theirs was not liscensed here yet. Up
on meeting, we instantly sparked an
admiration for each other with a deep
respect in our jobs. As we worked very
closely for the couple of weeks it took us
to set up the account, we both found
ourselves at the same hotel, both away
from home and very much enjoying each
others intilect and positions. We
developed a physical relationship even
though we were both married. We saw each
other off and on for almost 7 months while
keeping in touch with daily phone calls,
e-mails and snail mail letters and cards.
In january this man left home in his
state, convincing his company that he
could head up my states division of his
company as a representative, heading to my
state alone, without his family. This
mans children are grown, two in college
and one just graduated college. Man in
question states he just had to be near me,
and could not live life as he knew it
without me as I am so vivacious, loving
life and great at what I do
professionally. Mind you I was not happy
in my marriage of 8 years and was in the
process of looking at how I could afford
financially to send my husband out of the
house. As luck would have it, my husband
was dismissed from his job of 7 years and
was forced to move to another state to
train for a new job. I told my husband
that this would be the end and that we
needed to accept what is and move on,
seperate. I just had to finish this
relationship without committing to another
yet. Anyway, due to the conflict of
interest, I left my job and became
employed by the "other man's" company. I
now am technically his boss in a position
that he wanted. That is another story
altogether. This man has been home only
twice since he left in january, it is now
may. Said man states that he loves me
deeply, he has cried for me, he has fought
demons within himself for me, as he states
I am the best thing that has happened to
him in his life as I believe in his goals,
I encourage him in his life and never nag
him. I have recently filed for divorce
and am now free, financially stable and in
love with this other man. My soon to be
ex-husband knows about this other man and
accepts it, my children know about him and
they love him as he states he does them.
So you ask, what is the problem? Well,
this other mans wife is a diabetic and is
reliant on his insurance for care, she
does not work more than part time as she
wishes, depends on her husband.
Supposedly, in great tears and
trepidation, this "other man" went home
for his oldest daughters graduation from
college this weekend and to tell his
family of his intent to divorce his wife
and become a permanent part of my life.
In great tears, this man called me
yesterday on his way back to his home,
told me he promised that he was coming
back and that he had told his mom about
me, but he needed this time for himself to
do what was the hardest thing in his life,
leave his family and home. I have yet to
hear from this man, no e-mails, no
nothing. Should I take this as the fact
that he is leading me by the nostrils or
that he did need his time? Do you think
that I should trust that he told his
family? Or that he is yet leading me
along again as I gave him the ultimatum
that if he is that unhappy he finish it
and come home to me or stay there and
leave me alone? I just need an answer,
from him, I can accept it one way or
another. I feel like crap that I may be
the cause for breaking up his family, but
he states that it was over when he came
here to my state in the first place. Am
I being unreasonable?

Are you being reasonable......I say
yes.....Your marriage is over, he says his
was.....His children are grown......And
his wife probably suspected something a
long time ago. What's the problem?That
his wife is diabetic and that he may have
to pay her some support?Well I think he
should, at least for a while to help her
stay on her feet. And at this point, this
may be all she really wants.
Honestly I don't think he has a valid
excuse anymore and your right to get an
answer to your ultimatium.....Unfortunate
as you are probably suspecting right
now...It may have blown up in your
face.....But to me an answer is an
answer....Even if it may not be the one
you want to hear.
