Hypothetical Question of the Day #2: Have any of you left your spouse *for* someone else and had it work out? (wife, married) - Relationships -Dating, marriage, boyfriends, girlfriends, men, women, friends, attraction ... - City-Data Forum

I'm looking for true stories (yours or someone else's) - Did you leave your spouse specifically to be with someone else and it actually worked out? Meaning the two are still together (or at least were together for a long time).

And FYI, these are phrased as hypothetical questions because they aren't about me or my situation, I'm curious to learn others opinions and experiences.

Did we run out of "friends" and moved to "hypothetical" questions?

Statistics say they don't last, then again, neither do most marriages.

I like "hypothetical questions" no one gets offended.

I've been observing a situation like this for a few years now and it appears to be lasting... They got married, too.

So I was hoping for positive and uplifting stories and there's not a thing.

Where is everyone?

Well, the story I mentioned IS "positive" as far as this thread goes... The guy had not intention of leaving his wife when he met this woman. Within less than a month he moved in with her. He hardly ever sees his children and he married her! End of story.

Statistics don't have the last word.
