That's what you only feel for now.. but that feelings will never be constant. I've been there already.. same thing he told me before... better stop it coz it will totally ruin ur family.

Hold up. Are you saying you've been the mistress in one of these affairs/love triangles?

Do your wife a favor and leave, give her the house, car, whatever she wants and go off with your mistress. Your wife can sell what she doesn't need and use the money to start a new life for herself back home. Hopefully with someone who will give her the love and respect that a wife deserves.

You disgust me.

It is not worth it! The bottom line is that if you do not want to respect a commitment it will happen again with somebody else. This falling in love is like the weather. It changes based with mood changes, arrogance, selfishness, etc. When you focus on the word commitment you will do whatever it takes to keep your word to your marriage.

I have been married 37 years now. We as so many couples out there have fallen out of love and got back into love so many times but we are commited to our marriages. Just go and ask some old couple out there on the street as they are helping each other walk along and ask them how many times they have fallen out of love during those long years of marriage and if they are honest they will probably laugh and tell you they have lost count but they stayed commited to their word and it is hard work to keep staying in love. That lady that left her husband, what are the odds she will do the same to you later? You ended the post with a question. I and mine the same. Is your wife worth working to keep her with you? Actually, another question, are you worth for her to stay here with you?
My wife followed me through 32 long years of Army life and we were separated so many times for long periods of time as I did my duty. She stayed taking care of home and I was so happy to get back with her. Do you not thing both of us had the temptation to find somebody else to be happy with? We stuck to our commitment and here we are still feeding our marriage with hard work and with love, take care.

Sure, you can dump your wife and move on to the new one, but eventually the physical chemistry will fade there too. You need to grow up, or you will be doomed to repeat this terrible loop.
