I'm at a loss to understand this reasoning.
She could have been upfront & honest- she even had the other guy at the wedding...
The OP was kept in the dark;
I don't respect that.

It was the point i made about the girl who willfully presents the image of a wholesome religious girl but has slept with over 1000 people and has slept with a few guys while dating you. The point was because you were fooled by the appearence of her being wholesome and religious your not looking for red flags etc. Thats the lie and deception and betrayal.

Guys do it to but its called playin

He was unaware of that- she totally misled the guy, & deceived & betrayed him.
And hawaiian has the same thoughts I do on this......
Their relationship was based on a lie.
Your advice, then, is what? Divorce?

He was "kept in the dark" for 3 weeks (during which time we don't know how often she saw the other guy, maybe just once), then he asked for exclusivity, and she agreed. How often did they date during those first weeks? Once a week? He was "kept in the dark" for 3 dates? 5 dates? How many dates is too many for him to be kept in the dark? Should she have announced to him on the 2nd date that she was seeing someone else? When would have been an appropriate time? Should she have disclosed it after they pledged to be exclusive? When is the right time?

Caveat emptor. Don't make assumptions, and you won't have any rude awakenings.

Portrayal of a image? Seriously?

All this is solved by normal adult communication. It is rather easy, actually.

Especially on an image that doesn't have universally agreed upon definition. Most serious Christians I've met defined their dedication to their religion based on their personal relationships with Jesus more than rules (I've met serious Christians that have stripped and done porn (dated one born again woman like this in Wisconsin)), and "wholesome" can mean anything. Would it surprise anyone if Mary Anne got around more than Ginger? Not me. That isn't deception, just style.

She even had sex with us on back to back days. I know it was a long time ago but it does hurt knowing I took her on dates but the other guy got the sex. And it does discuss me knowing I got sloppy seconds.


How would you feel about this?
You feel normal. If you didnt feel a pang of jealousy, your statement that she is the love of your life wouldn't ring true, would it?

You cant hold onto the thought forever. You just have to grieve your loss of innocense on the matter, and hold on tight to what makes her the love of your life.

She obviously neither had an exclusive relationship with you or the other guy. You made it exclusive. You won! Would you want her to hold any relationships that you may have had before you struck one up with her against you? Walk a mile in the shoes, then judge it.

Be well.

No OP with any sense would still be around.

He probably wanted to have a conversation with other long-married folks about how to work through the emotions he was feeling. Not a bunch of never-married kids talking about how he should dump her.
