Tisha-1 agony auntHi, it sounds like this is driving you a bit mad. May I remind you that in your original post you asked this question: "Shall i cut ties with my best friend before I fall any deeper and it hurts more?"

Then you get frustrated and upset with the advice given that suggests you do exactly that. But you were the one who put it on the table first. You're right, we don't understand, we're not in your shoes. But you did ask for the advice, and I guess unfortunately for you, people told you to cut ties.

I guess it all depends on how much more frustration and pain you can handle. It's all down to that. I feel a bit sorry for his wife, though, she's the innocent party in all this.

Good luck, you have to make your own choice, as you're really not interested in suggestions. Live an honorable life, with integrity, I think is the best way to go, personally.

I know it won't be easy, but you must end your relationship with him. Because you already crossed the line by sleeping together, your friendship will never be the same. His best friend needs to be his wife, not you. When you find someone else and get married, you will have a true best friend. Have respect for yourself and his wife...completely end your friendship.

I think you answered your own question. Be honest with yourself. If this man is married, you have no future with him. You also can't trust him because he is cheating on his wife with you. My advice is to dump him and move on.
