I've lost the last good thing in my life |
Lead | |
|
I have been having a relationship with a married man for over a year. I have had a rough year as I have lost my relationship with my family and daughter, my job, my friends, and moved into a scary neighborhood. My lover was the last thing I had that was famiiar. He sent me a letter the other day saying we shouldn't see each other anymore. He was trying to be a better man and decided to be faithful to his wife and practice integrity. That is all good I guess but I can't help but feel a loss. He was my first lover in over a decade. I have met many guys online and had the one date and never heard from them again. I have met a guy who I have went out with twice and he is nice and everything, but his is cheap. He should have a good income but he lives in a small apartment and when he took me out, I got one item and a drink off the value menue. We went to a amusement park (a free admission one) and rode no rides and we were there from 3-8 pm and we had no dinner although there were alot of nice restaraunts there. I can't help but want a man who is a little generous and I hate cheap dates. It is hard to get over my loss when I can't find a single man who I like as well as my married lover. I will probably go out with this guy again but can't help but feel cheated as our dates are very long (6 or more hours and I get kinda bored sitting and watching people walk by (no matter where we go, we end up doing this) and I just about starve. My ex lover wants me to keep in touch and I want to do this but I can't help but miss the imtimacy of our relationship as this new guy I met just doens't turn me on.

I know you feel sad and empty but I see this break-up as a positive thing.
I think this "He's married or otherwise involved" isn't a good section to have, because under no circumstances is it right/acceptable/okay to date or sleep with a man who already has a wife or girlfriend. Don't you believe in karma, or even the general philosophy that "everything that goes around, comes around"?? When you do fall in love, find a long term partner, or get married, how would you feel if your man were to have affairs, chase other women, etc? You'd be devastated. You can't say "oh it won't happen to me" because I'm sure these women think the same exact thing about the man you're having an affair with. The thing that a lot of people are guilty of (myself included sometimes) is only think of "ME, ME, ME". You might be thinking "oh what about me?! I won't be getting his attention/love anymore, that's not fair on me etc" but what about other people you're hurting, what about principles of right and wrong?!? Perhaps it was just a good lesson - he was obviously unhappy in his marriage, that's why he looked for affection elsewhere, and you also had huge changes and negative experiences in your life - so you two were right for each other for a short time. I think it's good that it's ending now, because if you continue this, you're sending the wrong message to the universe about who you are, what you're worth, etc. That's fair enough that you're unhappy with your current man, he's not what you're looking for and not good enough for you. It doesn't mean that this married man is the solution. Communicate with this new man - tell him what you want in a man, etc, maybe something can be done. Sorry to be harsh, but be positive, love yourself first and don't get too down.... |

I am trying to get over him but I can't help but find myself crying. It is just a terrible loss to me. On top of that my daughter goes back to school soon so I won't be able to see her on our one day week visit as much. When she gets off school i will be going to work so I won't even be able to call her. He just changed my life so much in the past year and although I have met a new guy online, I am not attracted that much to him and we have only been out a couple of times.

Hey, I've been there...in many ways, I AM there!! What I think is happening (my opinion only) is that you are spiritually and emotionally empty at the moment, and you're looking for the man and the marriage to fill this void, and rescue you - I'm sure you've been told before, but this isn't a good position to be in, to go searching for your husband. No one can solve your problems for you, and it's not good to be dependent on someone else for your financial and emotional needs
I myself have started to sort my life out very slowly, and this means just being positive and expecting the best instead of the worst and I've noticed that my friends are treating me better, and I'm attracting nicer, better quality guys You should try it.... |

AN update on my situation. I am still chatting with the guy I met a couple times. I will continue to talk to him but don't consider him dating material anymore. I set aside a whole afternoon this past sunday ( I get a sunday off maybe every 4 months if lucky) and he knew but suggested next time I was off on sunday we would go out. That was it for me as that will be several months. I know I should never set aside my day for any man as they should work with our schedule.
Anyway my married lover has kept in touch and has fallen off the wagon. I know it sounds bad, but I knew he would because he had decided to do it himself and no one can get over an addiction or a tendency to cheat without professional help and intervention from God and he was using some weird beliefs to do it and well it didn't work. As bad as it sounds, I never lost hope that I would be with him again. Well he said he wanted to get back with me again and we have. He came over this morning and made love to me better than ever before. It was wonderful to be with him again. I am still loooking for my mr right but having him back with me is really a comfort to me as he was the only thing that I haven't lost in the past year. I know I must be a terrible person but it is so hard to turn off my feelings for someone when the alternative isn't very appealing and no more available to me than my married lover. |

It's your choice to start sleeping with him again, but no more complaining from you about how this married man only giving you part-time love and not appreciating you etc - you know exactly what you're getting into and you know it's wrong.

actually it is the single guys that I meet that don't have time for me. I got to date 2 with a guy but it has been almost a month now and he is chats with me for hours every night but no more asking me out. He mentions us getting together when I get a weekend day off but I don't get weekend days off and he knows that. He gets off work at 3 30 so there isn't any good reason he couldn't take me out once a week on one of my 2 nights off. THe married guy has his wife and family but he makes time to see me everyweek and drives a great distance to see me. It just seems I can't meet that single guy to show me that having a single man is better. Bottom line is I have never had a single unattached man who had time for me.

Really??? Single guys don't have time for you and don't spend enough money on you to keep you from getting "bored"??
How much time does your married lover have for you that does not require you being on your back or naked??? And how much $$$ does he spend on this wonderful time you have together??? He drives a long way to see 'us'?? You have children that you expose to this situation?? Please take a good look at your choices because they all come with consequences. You are being selfish all the way around. Get a hobby to fill the voids in your life, go back to school, set goals, improve who you are inside and you will find a decent man to appreciate you. Why do you want to be a bottom feeder???? |

According to me in relationship money should not matter, but the main thing is you guys are ditching your loved ones respectively..he is ditiching his wife, which is very bad..you are spoiling ur relationship wid ur loved ones though you know that he cant take the place of your famil..so come out of it
