Me and this woman are both married with kids. Been texting back and forth. Talk from everything from interests to sex to just about everything. I married my wife simply for the sake of my son. Tried for a long time to fall in love with my wife...ain't gonna happen. I know where this is headed and really don't mind. Anyone else in this situation?

No I have never been this situation. It sounds a shame for the son in the middle. You should just divorce her already so she can get on with figuring out how she's going to feed that kid, while you and your lady friend are sexting.

But, during his bad patch - I fell for a divorced man. I haven't done anytihing,. But the attraction is there. We have massive chemistry. Tempting. But, I am a christian, so I cannot do anything, although I know i don't love my husband.

Yes, I was in this situation...my husband was cheating on me. I threw him out so I could have some self respect in front of my children. That beats the hell out of 'staying together for the sake of the children'

Please have the balls to walk away from your marriage politely, with your head held high. You don't really need your girl friend as a safety net or an excuse. If you can both get out of your unhappy marriages, then start dating, you will have more respect for yourself and her.

But if you start a relationship as a cheater, with a cheater, guess who is going to get cheated on next?

Don't you think the honest thing to do in this case is to divorce him?

Here's some food for thought:

If being a Christian means you must live a lie and stay with someone even though you are being abused then I'm even more glad I'm an atheist.

You have the power to improve your one and only life. I suggest you do it.

He has stopped being abusive and has shown real repentance....genuine. So, I am being merciful - as a christian should be, forgiving....and asking God to help me 1 - have Love for a husband who killed any love I had. 2 - help me resisit this other man, who likes me too......

Yes, you are an athiest but I do love God, and I must do what is right. In Gods sight. I have one life to live, this is a big test. If I he is abusive again - I will go. I will divorce him. But so far he has been good. It is a very difficult time for me. Life is not fair sometimes, but if you talkthe talk you got to walk the walk.

Even Christians get divorced. Quit using your manmade religion as an excuse to stay in an abusive marriage.

It does NOT mean you have to stay in an abusive marriage, using the religion card is an excuse not to put on your big girl panties and get out of the situation before it kills you.

He's off the rails. Divorce him. You and God can sort that out later, sure He will forgive you for this one. He is known for forgiving people for much, much worse.
