[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an ongoing thread,  someone mentioned that less than 5% of men leave their wives for the OW, and if they end up marrying the OW, 75% of those marriages fail. I have seen similar numbers elsewhere.

But,  what are the numbers for men who were already over their marriages and already in the process of divorcing when they began the affair with the OW -- they were already discussing divorce terms, even if they were still living under the same roof for the kids' sake or the like? I'd imagine the first number is much higher and the second noticeably lower...

Poor dear. If he started the affair with you before leaving, and I mean physically leaving, wife #1, even though they are "in the process of divorcing," you are in for a letdown. He is not ready to get married again. You are a rebound affair, but he won't marry you once he comes to his senses. Sorry, but that's the way it is. You shouldn't take up with a married man who is living with his wife, no matter what the circumstances, if you want a long-term, serious relationship with him. If you really like him, wait until his divorce is final and he's understood what went wrong and wants to avoid making the same mistake in marriage #2. It's not likely to be you in that scenario, so I'd get out now and start looking for your next relationship -- a real one. [/quote]
