In the end....and there will be an end (in one form or another), disregard the sexual intensity that exists now, because ALL relationships cool in time. You have two decisions to make. The first one is your current marriage. Do you want a divorce or not? You cannot go to relationship #2 unless you first make a solid and irrevocable dicision about what to do with relationship #1. You sound like you want a divorce. Start doing that, because the other guy has nothing to hope for, and neither do you, if you're both straddling the centerline of a love highway. I think you see where this is all going.Relationship advice! help!?
Men are men regardless of the situation they are put in. The difference is that it takes a man of strong morals, honesty and great confidence in himself to try and make the best decision for both of you no matter what the cost. Your friend may truly love you, but he is getting the benefits of having you without the hassle of a true commitment. We as women tend to forget that love is a decision and not a feeling. Our feelings are what can lead us into trouble, like making the decision to get involved with this man while still married. I know that you are angry and hurting, but remember angry starts out as being hurt first. I think that you need to figure out what is going to be the final outcome in your marriage before you get involved in anything else. If you don't, you will bring all your unfinished business into your new relationship and your new man will have to pay for your old man's mistakes. Every time this new man does something to remind you of what the last one did you will become upset and defensive towards him and maybe not intentionally. Sad but true, I have been there and done this before.
PLEASE take care of your marriage before you start ';falling'; in love with someone else. There is a reason why it is refered to as ';falling.'; Either fix your marriage or get a divorce. Then, and only then, will you be able to move on successfully to another relationship.
Okay, now more of the puzzle is revealed. Take solace in the fact that he is not using you and his feelings are probably genuine. But the relationship will not go any further than it has gone already. I am assuming he is older than you---right? He realizes that if you haven't left the security of your marriage by now, you probably won't and he doesn't want to be the ';cause'; of a divorce. What he is telling you is that he wants you but he does not want to end up dealing with your marital strife. He also doesn't want to tie himself down to a ';married'; woman. I mean, what is the point of that? Of course you'd still want to see the person irregardless of the extenuating circumstances but it takes a very special set of ppl to overcome the obstacles that you are facing...and maybe he just doesn't have the energy to keep doing it. It is hard, I know, but you need to expand your horizons. Divorce your husband if he is truly a dog. Find other ppl to associate with, not just this man. You need to distance yourself or you will end up suffering beyond what anyone should.
