Part of me wants him back i do love him but he has put me through hell and i am worrying that he will change his mind again as time goes on though he seems very convincing at the moment.Should i give him another chance?I

I too had this happen he left me and went back to his wife he then came back to me 4 months later saying it was the biggest mistake of his life and he loved me and he wanted me back.
He left his wife a second time I foolishly took him back and was so excited after everything I had been through but now after 2 weeks he has said he is confused and missing his family and wants some space to figure things out. I have done that and just found out that this past weekend while we are not in contact and he is having his space he actually took his wife away for the weekend and to a music concert. So please take something from my experience and just wait to see if he really is not going to go back because the pain you felt the first time is nothing like the pain you feel the second time

 Make sure he's started divorce proceedings before taking him back again.
He doesn't seem to know what he wants. Take things slowly and don't be too quick to trust him, unless you know he's left his wife permanently.

I realize i maybe shouldn't have got involved until he was divorced but he never actually discussed it the first time around and i was besotted and just let things roll on. Anyway some people don't bother getting divorced until they are wanting to remarry.I think i will take everyones advice this time and make sure he is actually divorced before continuing our relationship if that would make a difference to his toing and frowing who knows.

However, I do think that it is an oxymoron to have a married boyfriend; by definition, he belongs, for lack of better, to another woman until they divorce. And if his wife did not know about or consent to seeing others then he is a cheater too. Thus, I agree that I would not take him back unless and until he is a single man. Even then, I would cautious about being the rebound woman.

It's better for the both of you to have stopped commiting adultry, it's not emotionally healthy. As far a getting back together it sounds like he doesn't know exactly know what he wants. I suggest you wait until they've signed the papers this time before you let him back in your life. Don't let him play you again.

I gave my girlfriend of 4 years that same chance and she disappointed. But that doesn't say it will be the same for you. Just make sure he understands this is the last time and that you are very generous BUT also have a backbone. Best of luck to you.
