[quote=Anonymous]Have you met any of his friends?  Have you put them in a position where they have to lie to his wife, too?

One of my former boyfriends had a really close friend who was a woman. She engaged in an affair with a married men. My friend knew the married man's wife--not well, but as an acquaintance.  He told his woman friend to NEVER put in him the position where he had to lie or keep a lying secret to another person.  He didn't want to see them together an parties or outings.  He didn't want to hear about this or that or gifts or travel plans or anything. He basically shut her out of his life.

Why?

Because he didn't want to be even a three-degrees-of-separation liar.

He was really a strong, honest person.  My initial inclination was to say, "Hey, not my wife, not my business."  But I got a good education by watching him handle the situation with far more grace and honesty than I could even imagine at the time.

I would recommend a similar approach for you. You'll probably like yourself better for it.  Or not. You might be too far gone after several years of this arrangement?[/quote]
