A female , *as writes:

I have been married for 8 years and from the day we got married I have been really unhappy. Anyway to make matters worse I had a baby and things have got from bad to worse. Anyway I met a guy in a club a few months back and he knew I was married and so on, but we started seeing each other although he did have his reservations. He has now called it off twice and said it's because I am married when he knew that all along. I really did fall for him big time and just wish I could get over him.

Why do I keep on doing this to myself? Why can't I just be happy with what I have got at home???

You met this guy in a club. HALO!!!!!!!!!!!!! what do you expect "the one"?......Men that except a woman who is married does not respect you or himself, because everyone knows that, this tipe of relationship could never last and its not like you left your husband for him, most woman fall for other men, cause they get bored with what they have. but why not leave him.????????.. because woman keep their men, just because when it does not work out with "MR Clubber" you have someone to fall back to, because you hate the feeling of being alone.

I was stuck in such a marriage, end the marriage, you aren't happy period. You want other men, you shouldn't, when you're with someone you truly love this won't be a problem. And you didn't fall for the guy at the club, it's called an infatuation, you have to know who someone is before you can love them.

you don't deserve to be happy because you didn't stop once to think about what you were doing to your husband or your child. You need to be a women about stuff and tell you husband the truth. Women like you give us good women a bad name. I'm gonna pray for you because you are a selfish women you don't think about anyone but yourself from the sounds of things.....

I'm feeling the same way. I have a wonderful boyfriend who adores me and is truly perfect.. but for some reason I don't feel the same way about him. I'm infatuated with this other guy. My friends all tell me I am beautiful and I can easily get any guy I wanted, but why can't I have the one guy I want?

I don't know the answer to that question...because I'm looking for the same answer. I have been married for 13 years to an absolutely wonderful man who completely loves and adores me. He treats me like gold. He is truly a very special man. Therefore, there should be no problem, right? Wrong. I have never stopped loving a young man that I dated some 20 years ago. He was not my "first love" either. I was in my early 20s and we dated for a few years. I believed in my heart that he and I would marry one day. It didn't happen. He lied to me about going out with "the guys" and my mother and I walked out of a restaurant the same time he was walking out of a movie theater hand-in-hand with another woman. I have never gotten over the hurt. I feel it daily. While I have forgiven him for what he did, I have never stopped loving him. I'm not happy in my life - in any part of it. So, I don't know the answer to that question, but I would love to find someone who has the answer. The question for me is how do I go on with my life, be happy with what God has given me and blessed me with for a husband, and put this former relationship that I still carry in my heart away? My husband does not deserve me. The guilt I carry each day is enormous. There are days when I just want to die.

Why me! Good Grief your not only doing it to yourself, you are doing it to your husband and your boyfriend and your child as well! Why exactly are you unhappy? Are you not friends with your husband at all? If not, why the hell are you stringing him along? Your boyfriend is probably feeling equally led on. If you have really fallen for him big time and your not happy with hubby, why is there even a question? Were you ever happy with your husband? If so, have you thought about at what point you became unhappy? If you are so unhappy, this filters into your everyday activity and has a powerful effect on your child and could be making your husband equally unhappy. Go to a doctor, therapist or whatever, but talk to someone not emotionally invested in you, they may be able to help.

I think you need to leave your husband even if it don't work out with your boyfriend. You said you were never happy with your husband, so it isn't fair to him. It sounds like the boyfriend wants you to his self. He don't want to share you with a husband. He excepted in the beginning, because his feelings weren't as strong as they are now.
