I know I should concentrate on my own emotional health, but he says I'm special and he cares about me!
  • I have a quaint idea.

    How about not having sex with someone who is married to someone else, unless it is absolutely CLEAR that the married relationship is done and over?

    I don't doubt that the LW has had a very hard time. But one's personal hardship is no excuse for having an immoral relationship. The LW expects that the wife will move and live with her husband. So she's basically stabbing the wife in the back -- or more precisely, assisting the husband in stabbing his wife in the back. The fact that children are involved makes it worse.

    The best thing that the LW can do is to recover a sense of morality and personal dignity and end the relationship NOW. Guilt is an appropriate feeling when one does something wrong. Repentance and a change of life is an appropriate response. Or have we reached a point in the modern "therapeutic" world in which morality is no longer a factor?

    Ok, pick up the rocks and stone me. I'm ready.
