Re: Having a debate with a friend.. opinions wanted

yes i would leave...especially if i "hated" my DH
But like you said...there is a BIG possibility that this guy is stringing your friend along

if it were my friend i would tellher to drop him until he is free...

what is the point of seeing him if he can't get a divorce anyway

I told her some of the hardest things to do are the best things to do.. I just am trying to tell her to avoid the mess before it happens..

I don't think it's the wife he doesn't want to leave. I would bet money it's the kids.

In which case it would take a lot to leave - and he probably won't do it.

The guy is TOTALLY stringing your friend along. If someone is unhappy they leave, simple as that. They don't cheat...and go back home to their wife.
I have some experience with this so please tell your friend to dump him quick before she gets totally entangled.Chat Icon

I just want to add...I am sure this has nothing to do with him leaving at all...He probably tells his wife he loves her and has no intentions on going anywhere.
You friend may have what an old friend of mine called "Tarzan Syndrome" - she can't leave one relationship until she has another one in the works. She should probably end both relationships and start over.

Re: Having a debate with a friend.. opinions wanted

If I was that unhappy I would leave AND I wouldn't start dating anyone else until I left the marriage.

I have enough self worth that I wouldn't date a married man, who is still in the marriage (not seperated, still living with the family.) For one thing, I deserve better than that and the second is that if it does work out, does she think that the family is going to welcome her, knowing she may be partially responsible for the husband leaving? If he really wanted to be with me, I would wait until he leaves the wife, JMO.

Regardless of whether they have money or not to divorce, what this guy is doing to his children, nevermind his wife, is despicable! Cheating can't be condoned by saying "I'm unhappy". If he's such a stand up guy and money is the real reason he's not divorced, I can assume that the wife knows of his extra marital affair? Probably not because he's lying! The guy is stringing her along.

It doesn't cost a penny to separate. Do they sleep in the same bed? I'm SURE they do.

This guy is totally taking your friend for a ride. He may or may not leave his wife but by hanging around waiting and being his mistress, your friend is just showing him that he can take advantage of her with no consequences. So even if he does leave her one day and gets together with your friend, what kind of relationship does she think they'll have considering that not only has she shown him that he can walk all over her, but that she is also just the rebound girl.

This is the first lie married men tell women...they are unhappy...they can't somehow leave their wives....etc...etc.....
Please tell your friend to get out of this situation. If he's really so unhappy, and he wants a fresh start, he can always look for her once he has address all the things in his life that he needs to take care...when he's not attached to anyone else.

Well said.. I had the same thing with one of my friends.. she so believed his lies of "oh I sleep on the coach every night, we don't love each, she knows, there is nothing there, we are just staying in the same house because o the kids, we have no money to divorce"...
HE WAS LYING THE WHOLE TIME!!! SCUM!!!!!!
I can't even be friends with her anymore I was so disgusted by the whole thing.

I agree. She should dump his azz! He is NOT a stand up guy and he is having his cake and eating it too.
Plus, if she knows he is still married unhappy or not; why is she still seeing him?????????????? I am sorry, nothing against you but I have no compassion for people like this. Maybe I just have a unique perspective on this, but any woman who is dating a man that she knows is married...how can she do this????? Does she think about how hurt his wife and kids will be??????
My mom & dad went through this and the woman knew my dad was married. My mom had no idea until my brother and I found out about the affair and forced my dad to tell my mom. My dad and his "girlfriend" Chat Icon are living together now and he wants her to be part of the family. My brother and I will NEVER accept her into our family. I write this so you can tell your friend that even if he leaves his wife, his kids will make it VERY difficult for them to have ANY kind of a relationship, trust me.

Re: Having a debate with a friend.. opinions wanted

the worst thing you can do to your children is to stay in an unhappy marriage for them.. I am talking from experience... the parents are not doing the children any favors by staying together Chat Icon

I agree with others, he is completely stringing your friend along, she needs to wake up soon!

Re: Having a debate with a friend.. opinions wanted

Sorry, I don't buy it either, if they really hate eachother she wouldn't care about him having a gf so it wouldn't be a big deal if she had a chat with his wife would it? No way would I get involved with a married man!!!

Re: Having a debate with a friend.. opinions wanted

In all honesty, I have a bit of an issue with women who knowingly date married men. Trying to put that aside, I would say that your friend needs to get out of both of those relationships. She is in for nothing but heatache. I know a lot of people that have stayed in unhappy relationships out of fear of being alone, but it really is better then being trapped. I wish her luck.

and to add, she is currenlty still in a relationship (i would think serious cause its been 2 years)

people are dependant on certain things just be there. when you divorce,etc... you kinda have to change your whole life as most likely, you have to move, figure out money, etc.. its hard to leave...so they may cheat and then say im sorry and stay with the wife. Ideally, we should be able to walk away but there is so much baggage
