Divorce him? I believe that if you are unhappy in the situation that you are in, then you should change it.

Good luck.

Does your culture allow divorce? That would be the best option.

Age isn't a factor, if you're in love, which you're not.

Will your family be accepting of a divorce? Why did they want you to marry him to begin with?

He is not wiz me now.he live in out of country for two years. He don't want me to live with him. He always said you are not the kind of girl that I want I just married for your families. He just want to live like this. I mean, he may come once in a year. I feel like am alone. So now I start a relationship with someone. I know its wrong but I don't know how that happened. I love the new guy so much. Because he was there when am alone. He was treat me. But he has a girlfreind. He told me that he was in love with me before am married. We have sex. Now I don't know wt to do. I feel guilty.

The trouble here is that the man you're seeing has a girlfriend,so he's off limits.

He's also a cheat and possibly a liar.

You don't need that in your life,as it's only going to make matters worse.

Get your divorce,heal from the unhappy marriage and stay single until you're back on your feet and are ready to date again.

Nadine, you need to end the relationship with your 'boyfriend'. It is a distraction and only causing you more confusion and pain. Cheating is not a good thing to do.

If this was an arranged marriage, what were the expectations when you married? Were any provisions made for ending the marriage? Have you talked to your family about the marriage? Would they support your divorcing your husband?

I hate to say this, but you are trying to be happy and find love in all the wrong places, and all the wrong ways.

I don't know why you are so desperate to have someone that you will take anything that comes along, but you had better leave men alone, and build a life that you enjoy, and be happy with yourself, so you can stop taking crap off men, just to have one.

You have to stand for something or you will fall for anything, so start standing for yourself, and keep telling yourself that you deserve better, and then do better for yourself. Ask yourself why are you letting everyone do as they will? When will you stop just jumping into things that look good but are not? When will you start being good to yourself??

Nadineblue

I am honest and loving person. I have a great place for love. I will die for love.I know what am done is very wrong Specially the sex part. I feel like am a slut. I need help to back to normal. Am out of my mind. I can't stop thinking about the new guy. Please help me.

Do you not work, or have friends? Why is your life wrapped up about guys? Can you not love yourself and be good to you?

You can control yourself you know, and not let your lust control you. And there is a big difference between love and lust, and fantasy and reality. Show love for yourself, and not just give it away to those that don't deserve it.

Get busy, and build a life for yourself, that doesn't depend on having a guy. What you want someone to do it for you? You want the easy way out? You have already tried the easy way, now try it another way. A better way, that doesn't leave you feeling like a slut.

1) Leave the guys alone.
2) Get your divorce.
3)get a happy life without a man in it.
4)don't give your body to anyone until they prove that they deserve it.

It's a very simple process.

Can you find a therapist to talk to/

Do you work?

Where is your family and friends?

You need to find a focus outside this negative spiral.

Nadine, what you need to do s get involved in things that help you stay away from him. Your classes, volunteer work, hobbies, a part-time job, etc. are all things that can keep you busy mentally and physically. Spend time with your friends and make new ones. Messy hobbies like painting, gardening and cooking can do wonders to keep you from picking up a phone or going to a computer.

Another tool for you to use is No Contact. That means having no contact with him through any means including asking mutual friends about him. Don't call him and don't accept calls from him. Ignore his texts and delete his email. Forget his phone number.

Keep in mind that he is not such a great guy if he is cheating on his girlfriend.

Let go of the guilt and decide not to do anything to add to it.

Good luck.

He always said that we will be together. The relationship with his girlfreind will stop after graduation. He promise me that he will never leave me.

He always said that we will be together. The relationship with his girlfreind will stop after graduation. He promise me that he will never leave me.

I wonder what he's promising his girlfriend. If he loves you so much why is he still with her? Why does he have to wait? Why doesn't he grow a pair and leave her now if he's so in love with you?

I'll tell you why. Because he's not in love with you. He's in love with having a ready, willing women for sex. You're married, so he doesn't have to worry that you'll want more then he's willing to give. He makes promises so you'll keep spreading your legs for him.

He's a cheat, and you're a cheat. You can't build a relationship on lies and deception.

You said you feel like a slut. Well, take back your power, take back your life. Dump the loser that won't even leave his girlfriend to be with you. Divorce the husband that doesn't love you and won't live with you. Finish school, work on your career and making your life better, for you, not someone else.

When you're finally stable enough to stand on your own, that's when you'll be ready for love. Until then you're just a doormat for men to stomp on. I for one wouldn't accept that, especially when there's so much you can do to stop it.

That is part of the problem. You are looking for someone to tell you what to do each step of the way. However, you need to take charge. You need to determine what is the best way for you.

We can give you advice on what you should do, but we cannot live your life for you.

So far, it sounds like you have been a dutiful daughter and for the most part wife. Doing and accepting what others decide for you. I think rebellion may be part of the attraction that your classmate holds for you. Once you take control of your life, making decisions for yourself, I think you will see that the classmate is using both you and his girlfriend to get what he wants.

Can you answer these questions:
What do you want in life?
How do you get what you want?

"I want to be free and happiness. I want to live just for my self. I want to back to normal. I want to be successful in life. I want to be strong."

Then be strong and tell the guy to leave you alone. You can't just want something without doing what it takes to get it. Be strong, don't just say it!!

Alty
May 2, 2011, 03:25 PM

That's up to you. Part of being strong is making decisions for yourself, and not relying on others to tell you what to do.

You can do this. You can decide what you want your future to be. Your life is in your hands, and only your hands. We can't and won't tell you what to do, because we have no right to do that.

Take this step now. Be independent. Stop relying on other people to tell you how to live your life. Live it on your terms! That's how you become strong.

Now, I want to talk to him for the last time and I will tell him that I can't be with him anymore. Even if its hard for me, it's the right thing to do but I will always love him.

Nadineblue

I talk to him and he said he love's me. He didn't leave his girlfreind because he did it for me because am married and everyone knows about it. So, he said he is cover me up until am divorce my husband. He cry so hard and I left him. What am I going to do now?

Heal from both relationships.

Start living your life and doing your own thing.

Study,make friends,actively work on moving on.

Cat1864
May 3, 2011, 03:42 AM
You are going to survive. You are going to heal. You are going to move forward.

When you think about going back to him, keep firmly in your mind that he is using another person to get what he wants. He wants you so he is using her as a cover. How do you think it will make her feel if/when she finds out that she nothing more to him than an excuse? Do you want to be a part of making another female feel like that way?

I know you are probably hurting and confused right now. It will get better. Are there any clubs at school that you can get involved in? Do you have any hobbies or interests that can help occupy your mind?

Ignore him, move on, and get your house in order, by handling your business with your husband, and start building the life you want in a good orderly fashion. Stop being distracted by silly side shows that only keep you from focusing on what's important for what you want.

No more excuses for bad behavior, or what everyone else is doing to you. Own your mistakes, and do better for yourself.

Then find things that interest yo;,we need to make an effort in life-things aren't just dropped into our laps,nor do people come knocking on our doors wanting to befriend us.

You've got to go out there and create a life for yourself.

Nadine, no one said this would be easy. The first few days are the hardest. Yes, you keep thinking about him. He was a part of your life, in your head, and in your bed. It's hard to go cold turkey. The fact is, you're doing what's right for you, even if it hurts a bit.

What should you do? Continue concentrating on what's good for you and your life. Focus on getting a divorce. Concentrate on doing well in school. Concentrate on getting a good job. Concentrate on getting your own place to live. Concentrate on you.

You are what's important. You don't need a guy to make you important, or to make you feel special. All you need is you. So work on you. Look in a mirror and tell yourself that you're worth being loved for you. You're worth concentrating on. You don't need a man to make you feel worthy or safe. You need you!

You can do this. You just need to get past this bad part. After that it's smooth sailing.

You're an adult; you're married. You need to handle your own life in an adult fashion.

Are you worried about telling them about the divorce OR telling them about the affair/sexual relationship with the other person?

You need to be honest with everyone, including yourself.

You tell them. They react however they are programmed to act in such a situation.

Nadineblue
May 9, 2011, 11:53 AM
No I will never tell them about the other guy. But I am afraid to tell them about divorce to my husband. My husband did not treat me. No calls, no money nothing until now. The guy that am in love with, was there for me when am alone and disturbed and stressed because of my husband. Am also affected psychologically by our age difference. He is also addicted to drugs. My head going to blow but because of the new guy am fine now. Is that mean cheating?

Alty
May 9, 2011, 08:09 PM
If you're married (you could have chosen not to marry) and you are sleeping with another man, then yes, you're cheating.

You can paint that picture any way you want, but you had the choice, you didn't have to marry your husband. You did. Is he a great husband? No. But you're not trying to make the marriage work either. You both failed this marriage, it wasn't just him.

It's time to stop thinking about the what ifs, about how horrible your husband is, or how great the other guy is. Get your divorce, deal with the consequences, and start your life!

No more excuses.

The new guy-whom I thought you were not seeing anymore,has a girlfriend.

So both of you were in fact cheating.

What you need to do now is get your divorce sorted out then go get your act and your life together.

Cat1864
May 10, 2011, 05:43 AM
Nadine, emotional cheating is not any better than physical cheating. It sounds like you were in a very vulnerable place and needed a friend. Unfortunately that friendship crossed boundaries that it should not have.

Look at it this way, the 'boyfriend' was a crutch when you needed one. You are healthier now and the crutch is a hindrance. You are ready to take steps on your own and support yourself. You need to believe in yourself.

How much does your family know about your husband and marriage? Have you told them what you have told us? If so, they may be more understanding than you are afraid. If not, be honest with them.

Nadineblue

Hey guys I decided to get divorce after graduation. Everything doing good now. Even if it had been hard for me. What is true love means for u? How can it be known whether love is true or not? Would you explain for me?

JudyKayTee
May 30, 2011, 03:33 PM
True love as opposed to untrue love? I don't think there is such a thing. It's either infatuation or love. In my mind the whole "true love," "soul mate" idea is not valid - I loved my late husband. I thought he was my soul mate. He died. I've remarried. Where does that leave my late husband?
