I dated a married woman that was in the process of divorce. We were together for a year and the first 11 months were great. We had a really bad last month which is almost all my fault and she ended up going back to her husband. It was pretty unexpected and caused a domino effect as the husband had a girlfriend also who got the axe.

We gave back keys, items, all that stuff and had a goodbye lunch where we apologized to each other (I did most of the apologizing). We left amiably and I put it out of my mind. A month has passed and she texted me that i am in her heart and she loves me madly but that she is determined to make it work with her husband. It was completely unsolicited. I returned a text that said i feel the same way about her and good luck with your marriage. She continued to text me saying she found a watch of mine and burst into tears and that she loves me very much.

I'm unsure if I should pursue this, if there is something to pursue, if its right to pursue it. And if i do choose to pursue it with what strategy? And what could her motives be?

What did you do in that last month to mess things up?

Leave her alone so she can do just that.

I drank too much one night and was disrespectful. I ignored her from time to time. A couple other things.

It seems pretty clear. Leave her alone.

Not clear at all. She texted me these things out of the blue.

And?

Block her butt and leave her alone.
She told you she was determined to make it work with her husband

Let her.

Why would you want to get involved with someone so mixed up in the head that she can't tell left from right at the moment?

She is speaking out of both sides of her mouth.

Getting involved with someone like this is asking for trouble

Seems like neither one of you is really ready for a healthy relationship.

If you want continued drama, keep interacting with her. She will eventually come back to you temporarily.

If you want to get rid of the drama, block her, don't contact her and figure out the things it takes to have a healthy, drama-free relationship.

Oh the drama of it all.

Here's what's likely going to happen OP

She's gonna stay married and use you as a fling every once in a while.

These occurences will become less and less until one day they stop.

You assume she worked it out with Husband.

You find out she hooked up with a Plastic Surgeon instead.

All's fair in love and war. Enjoy it or get off the stage.

Yes. But people backslide. A recovering drunk may fall off the wagon a few times before they sober up for good.

If this lady is determined to work on her marriage, then she should be focused on her husband. Not texting other men. Don't respond to her texts. And if you must, do so to tell her to focus on her marriage, not communicating with you.

I don't think it's wrong to want a relationship. But you need to avoid a relationship with her until she's 100% single. Separated =/= single. As you see. Dating people who are still married causes unneeded extra drama, and complications. When and if a divorce is finalized, then sure, go ahead and date. But she's never going to resolve anything when she's going back and forth between 2 men. Unless you and the husband agree to share her.

This is at best. At worst, she's just stringing you along and wants her husband, while using you as the side guy, and saying things to keep you hooked.
