he chose you...so im assuming he wanted you over the OW...

im the OW in a relationship that im trying to end...he's not married and has no kids but he's been with her for 10yrs...she found out about us and decided to forgive him...

i hate to say it but he called me within 24hrs of the reconciling...telling me he feels pitty for her and obviously isn't ready to leave her just yet...

so...now that i know that i can't live with being #2 knowing this man had the chance to be with me and chose not to...i am still seeing him but much less than before and i figure eventully it'll be none at all...

this isn't by his doing it's by mine...im just backing off...

so you see if i were you i'd feel victory...you've won your man...he's yours...over time he'll get over the loss of the OW...you have his heart!

Gina, i think you "expert" advice is needed here. There is so much pain that this lady is feeling and I think that you can help her with your words of wisdom.

OP, please also try to contact Gina if you really want some guidance in your situation.

Also some questions here: How long did the affair last?

Is the OW younger/older /his work colleague?

Do you know why he choose his family (hard question)

Is he trying to make this marriage work?

How are you coping, do you have kids?

Does he still have contact with the OW?

Take care and God Bless you during this difficult and trying times.

Today 30/03/2009 Anonoymous male posted "I moved overseas with my family to forget her... I can't!" He talks about his love for his lover. Maybe you can get some insight into how your husband is feeling right now. Not what you may want to read and acknowledge but it is worth a read.

Your husband is mourning the loss of his relationship. Unfortunately it is devastating to you.

Please read my comments posted there.

I am hoping that these 2 posts are not related. Good luck
