Married and have feelings for another man

Q.   I am a married woman. I have been married to the same man for almost 20 years. He loves me with all his heart. He is loyal, a good father to our kids, and he does everything for me. He puts up with me even when I am not nice to him. Any woman would ...

A.   25 January 2011: Nobody is blaming the woman here. It just so happens she is the one who sought advice, so the advice is directed at her. And, we really don't know what the guy has done here. All we know is that the person seeking our advice "thinks" the other guy ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2011: I'm sorry, but I think female anonymous is dead wrong advising you to tell the married guy how you feel. That's how affairs start. You should be talking to your husband for crying out loud, not some married man! Talking to the married man is putting ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2011: OP, you wrote"I want to trust her and I wanna remain with her and I want us to be happy is this possible and will her ex ever get out the picture?" You're not getting it. She's untrustworthy. You're basically saying "I wish things were different." ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2011: I don't mean this in a mean way, but when I read the type of things you wrote I feel it is my duty as an Agony Aunt to lay it on the line. You are being selfish and self-absorbed. All of a sudden your "feelings" constitute the center of the known ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2011: This girl cheated on her former bf with you, and now you are paranoid that she may be cheating on you -- ironically with the former bf (Payback is surely a bitch, ain't it?). Have you ever heard the saying, what she'll do with you, she'll do to you? ... (read in full...)

A.   25 January 2011: That's like getting upset that your husband won't stop breathing air. Seriously, it's unfair for men to catch hell for looking when women are out there showing it off. What are we supposed to do? We're men. We're attracted to women. We look at other ... (read in full...)

Text messages lead me to believe she wants her ex boyfriend/casual partner more then me!

Q.   My fiance and I have been together for over a year. At first, like all relationships, things started off great, we'd text all the time, the sex was regular, we were both affectionate to each other. However, over the last few months, things have cha...

A.   24 January 2011: I'm sorry, but you sound like you are a little bit in denial. You've essentially discovered your fiance professing her love for another man (how you discovered this information is really irrelevant to the bigger picture) and you don't know what to ... (read in full...)

Opinions please! Is this considered cheating?

Q.   My ex-girlfriend liked to go out with friends to the bar without me. She went to this one bar and become good friends with the male owner. She started texting this person a lot when not at the bar. Then she started staying over at the bar due to the ...

A.   23 January 2011: It's good she's your ex-girlfriend. You were so getting hosed! Emotional affairs are just as bad as, if not worse than, physical affairs. She was cheating on you -- emotionally (I'm assuming she wasn't sleeping with the guy). Her heart was with Mr. ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2011: The only people who can answer your question are you and your husband. Have you told him that you think the two of you should go to counseling? It sounds as if you assume he won't go. If you do ask (or have already asked) and he won't go, then you ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2011: I'm sorry...I don't get it. Why are you married to this guy? You live apart. You don't get along. He has other female friends with whom he reminisces about their prior sexual exploits. He thinks you're mean to his kids from "other relationships." ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2011: You got used. That's why he simply dropped off the face of the earth. He has a wife at home. This invariably is what happens when you date married men. It's almost like a self-inflicted wound. I just don't get why women do this to themselves. Now ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2011: Sweety...the sooner you learn this, the better off you will be emotionally. Stay away from married men. If they're yapping to you, they have issues. Do yourself and his wife a favor and stay away. Now, to answer your question...yes you should not be ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2011: Do you really want to get involved with such a creep. I say this only because I can see this coming a mile away. This guy is an emotional vampire. He sees you are vulnerable and he simply wants to use you for his own benefit. He doesn't give a damn ... (read in full...)

A.   23 January 2011: Are you kidding us? You're engaged but sleeping around, and you want to know how to get your fiance back? "The guys [you] slept with have made [you] feel so cheap..."? That's because you are cheap. Now you don't like the fit of the shoe you're ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi all, Please can you advise on this, as I am very confused. I went out with a guy for a while and fell totally in love with him. However, he took advantage of that, and we fell out over lots of things and the relationship became very stressful and ...

A.   22 January 2011: If it hurts when you do that, then don't do that. You've been burned once, and you know deep down in your heart that it will happen again. This guy has already told you once before who he really is. You should believe him.... (read in full...)

A.   22 January 2011: Yes, he should be over it by now. However, he was right to be concerned about your secretive emailing to another guy whom you admit having a "small crush" on. That's how things start. One thing leads to another, and the next thing you know your ... (read in full...)

A.   22 January 2011: Hmmmmm. Yeah, you don't want to come off as clingy or insecure. However, your gf is certainly putting you to the test. I think it would bother most people if their gf or bf were that involved with a member of the opposite sex. I know there's a ... (read in full...)

A.   20 January 2011: With all due respect, you are being extremely foolish. You are married...to a man who you love and respect, and this is how you show it back to him -- by developing feelings for another man? If you continue investing emotional energy in your new ... (read in full...)

Even although I've fallen for her... should I cut my losses?

A.   20 January 2011: Really, it sounds as if you are in a imaginary relationship. She sounds preoccupied with someone else, while you are preoccupied with her in your mind. It's not so much a matter of cutting your losses as it is of moving on and living your life. ... (read in full...)

What about liking Bad Girls?

A.   20 January 2011: In my opinion, the male ego really doesn't want a bad girl to be his girl because we boys generally don't like sharing our women. Bad girls are fun for a party, but not for the real deal. ... (read in full...)

A.   16 January 2011: You're young, sound beautiful, and are single. No, you are not a whore. If you were a guy, you'd be considered a "stud" with a normal sex life. Enjoy yourself, but be careful of course. Also, watch out when doing guys who all hang together. That can ... (read in full...)
