Well....I have a friend that would love to get a divorce. She tried but her husband and his family (who have lots of $) deliberately dragged out the proceedings (fighting over child custody issues), she used up all her savings and was not able to continue with the lawyers and she is STILL married. He is crazy because he won't let her go yet he doesn't want her (or the children really). They have nothing to do with each other yet are still married. She's now saved up more money but all the evaluations have to be re-done all over again because it's been a year. His family demanded pschological evaluations on all family members, just one of the many reasons it took so long & the bills became so high. It's just exhausting with no end in sight.
There's this one time, at band camp.........

Anonymous wrote:I'll tell you how, OP -- do what I did. Believe him when he tells you he is divorcing his wife and she is fine with it. Then believe his wife when she tells you they are just room mates and friends, not really man and wife. Believe him when he tells you that he hasn't had sex in ten years (and because the sex with him turns out to be so bad, this is the easiest part of all to believe....). Believe him when he says he has filed the divorce papers "online." Agree to move in with him. Believe him when he spends free time at "his wife's house." Kick him to the curb when you realize the truth, and watch him move his ten things out of your apartment back into "his wife's house." Feel deep shame and regret when you and his "roommate and friend/STBX wife" have babies a few days apart. Kick yourself for being such an idiot. Kick yourself a few more times. Then do it for a few more years. Get sued for custody -- a few times. Ask yourself what lessons you have learned along the way. Scratch your head. Ask yourself again. Etc. Works like a charm.

Fairy tale romance, love at first sight, etc. We wanted to get married but his family resisted due to my race (white) so he married her. We stayed together and it wasn't easy but made easier because he didn't love her and she was barely around. When the time came when I decided that I wanted more (marriage, babies) we decided to cut ties. We tried to be friends but I didn't want to hear about his life and he didn't want to hear about mine so we had to cut all contact with each other. We loved each other so desperately that a year later my heart still hurts for him.
So in answer to your question...you already know that being with him is wrong, you already have that guilt and the pain of
Knowing you will never be together. You already know that cutting all contact with him is the right thing to do and that contacting his wife won't solve anything. What you don't know and are asking is how will you ever stop loving this man even though he put you through hell. A year later I still ask myself that same question. Good luck
