[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the other woman when I first met my now DH. I was freshly separated and not looking for anything serious. We had instant chemistry and I hadn’t been intimate with my exH for years. I just wanted the thrill of being attracted to someone and that person desiring me. We had great sex and I would’ve been fine with that in the beginning.

I didn’t really think about his wife at all. He said they had a bad marriage and were no longer intimate. She was happy being a roommate and he wasn’t. A month after we met, now DH said he was leaving his wife. I didn’t ask him to. He decided on his own he’d had enough and was falling in love with me. He told his wife the following month and 6 months later their divorce was finalized. After I developed feeling for DH, I wouldn’t have been happy to remain the other woman. However, he didn’t want to hurt his wife, so we remained a secret while the divorce was pending. I didn’t mind as I didn’t want to cause her pain if it could be avoided. After his divorce he moved to live with me. No kids in their marriage so he just moved on with his life. We’re now married and happy together.

People have asked me if I’m worried he’ll cheat on me. It is always a possibility. I know now that if are no longer intimate that we shouldn’t be together. I’d hope we’d discuss and work on it.  If we couldn’t fix it, then we should divorce. Life is too short to stay in a bad marriage. [/quote]

I hope you don't have kids with this mentality.[/quote]
