We've known each other 15 yrs, friendship grew But there was a point where you could have stopped because it's wrong. But you chose instead to live a life of lies. 11 minutes ago, lost39- said: They don't know about it, How come your family and friends don't know about this? Is it because you know it's wrong and are ashamed? You say you two want to be together. So why aren't you? If she loves you the way you claim shouldn't she want the world to know? Take this time apart to really think about the kind of person you want to be. You can continue to be a liar who conceals things from his family and friends or you can end this and be a moral, upstanding person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know it’s wrong, yet you still choose to carry on. Affairs don’t magically just appear in your lap, I’ve never done something like this it needs to be judged and shunned because your actions and behaviors are going to cause life long trauma to innocent by standards 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seraphim Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 My dad had affairs with hundreds of women, including one of my mom’s sister-in-laws. It destroyed their lives , took my cousins away from me and me from them and almost destroyed my mom and her brother whose wife it was . It broke up my mom and one of her best friends. This happened in 1991. My dad is dead now and so is my “ aunt” . Inside my mom is still hurt and guess what ? I still don’t have a relationship with my cousins more than 30 years later because they are too embarrassed of their mother. They won’t face me. So yeah , cheaters they shouldn’t be judged. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true then she needs to sit down and cut it off with him and take care of any responsibilities the two of them have together. She doesn’t get a free pass to f*ck around behind multiple peoples back, nor do you whats wrong with you? Jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tried to run over my mother with a car I was a passenger in when I was 5 years old. I was screaming for him to stop and he just told me “ shut the eff up idiot”. So no, he didn’t . My mom tries to tell us that he loved us as much as he could he just didn’t know how because he was so messed up . He didn’t know what love was . We should all try to bring happiness to the world .

boltnrun Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 People who engage in affairs are only thinking about themselves and what they want. They don't give a fig about how their actions affect anyone else. It's an inherently selfish act. But...you have the opportunity to do the right thing. End this selfish illicit affair. Even if it's "not easy". Be the person who doesn't have to hide something from his children, family and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseman2 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 8 minutes ago, lost39- said: What makes you think this They are going away as a family, will have sex and bond and renew things. Unfortunately you are disposable compared to her partner and children. You can hope it continues but affairs end sooner or later. But usually not with the lovers leaving everything behind and riding off in the sunset together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
