I was the same way the 1st time it happen I told my husband and he was upset and we had been only married for 3 years. We worked it out and I still kept seeing him and it went on for 11years and then my husband caught me at his house one night. We worked it out and moved away from the state and that wasn't easy for me. We have been married for 21years and we have been together total of 28 years and my husband has been pushing me a way again and thats how is happen the 1st time. I'm very good friends with the 1st guys ex-wife now and we talk almost everyday.
I'm now in the same spot I was 6 years ago but the only difference now is I have a 3 year old. We r really close to this guy and he is not married but has a girlfriend and she is no good for him, but he is still with her. Me and this guy we always say things to each other and we would always hug each other but yesterday it was different. Then today he came to my house and we did more then just hug. My husband work out of state and he only is home 2 weeks out of the month. I just can't stop and we r BEST FRIENDS and I have always wanted to be with him. He makes my world go around and he is there when I need him. My husband always call him my boyfriend. I know it is wrong but he makes me smile and gives me a good time. My husband and I really need to split for a while and see how it goes.
I wish u all the luck but if u r not happy u need to move on. I now I'm in the same spot u r and it doesn't make it any different what state I live in I always find someone. If I was u I would try to work it out.
Good luck with what u do.

I personally never dreamed anything like this would happen or continue to happen. I always thought I was a stronger person, but somehow, I have failed here. I too, am deeply in love with my husband, but out romance isn't there and I feel so unloved and unattractive. I have expressed this to my husband for 13 years now, but until the last two months-- he hasn't done anything to fix it. And he has only started now because he knows that I have become attracted to his friend. What do I do? What do you do? Before this happened to me, ironically when others would tell me things like this was happening to them, I would say you have to immediately stop seeing his friend at all and really you should make excuses for your spouse not to spend time with them either. I would say that you and his bestfriend have betray his trust and both should be ashamed. Now here I am too--- so what do you say? I say this: If you love your husband, don't hurt him--- save him the pain and don't tell him. But if you choose this route, stop allowing his friend to manipulate you! I believe that is truly what is happening--- he is manipulating you the same way I have been manipulated. It does matter--- you are more important to yourself and you are your husband's prize--- not his. That is what I have chosen to do and how I have chosen to handle it. I just pray my husband will forgive me if he ever does find out the truth. Good luck!

He loves me much and decided he wont marry as really he loves me much.But you never had sex,yes of course we kissed and hugs but now we stopped from 2 years. Yes he loves me more than his parents and anyone and he want me to call him everyday at least for 1 mnts or so as he feel inspiration when he heard my voice. We were together for past 10 years but now he is working in abroad.I know this is wrong but i feel there is nothing wrong in keeping someone happy without sex,isnt it!So my advice to you is,if that guy really loves you then keep him happy but try to avoid sex and i know its difficult but you have to stop sex with him otherwise its ok i believe. It's very difficult to get someones affection in this world nowdays, best of Luck and be happy...

 Hi,
oh boy, you've got yourself into a bit of a mess here mate.
I get the feeling this infidelity is providing a lot of excitement in your life, much the same way it does for a compulsvie gambler. You know its wrong but you can't stop yourself.
I'm afraid it looks like the only real option for you is to tell your husband you have been unfaithful and you want it to stop. This will undoubtedly cause a lot of grief for you but what is the alternative? Your husband's best friend is not going to go away, he is his best friend after all, but he is using this friendship as an excuse to bed you.
You need to get this man out of your life and the only way is to come clean with your husband. You also need to decide whether you have a future with your husband? Have things become so routine that this fling has added some thrill into your daily schedule? Perhaps what is needed is for you two to spice things up within your marriage.Maybe you and your husband can work this out and start afresh.
But you have to get this man out of your life to start with. Your husband may be so upset he may leave you , but he is the victim here and he deserves to have a faithful wife at the very least. You owe that to him at least.

 Yes honey I have.
I fell in love with my boss, which I am really ashamed of. His marriage was on the rocks, but that was no excuse. I should have sorted that we were both single first, and no one got hurt. But we were totally selfish, and wanted to be together. 10 years it took him to persued me that he really loved me and I was the one for him.
Thats why I was blunt with you. I took this dangerous step for love, not sex, love.
We have been through hell, and I would warn anyone, that you shouldn't go there unless you are a strong person, and believe that your relationship with your husband is over. Because when he finds out, it will destroy him.
I am not saying stay in an unhappy relationship, but dont just lower yourself by shagging a man you dont care about just for sex. Its so unfair, cant you see that.
Sorry if I hurt you, and you may be thinking "pot and kettle" but when you have lived through the hurt it causes, you will know what I mean.

Maybe you should divorce your husband and continue to play the field. If you loved him saying no wouldnt be a 'complicated issue'--as you describe it.
One thing will lead to another, lost friendships and if you get pregnant---geesh you are in another ball park

 Of course you can control yourself if you really wanted to. There is no excuse for your behavior. You need to stop messing around and focus on your marriage. If you aren't happy in it then maybe some marriage counseling would help find out why. Perhaps a separation is in order. But stop this nonsense with the other guy immediately. If your husband loves you this is going to be devastating to him. Don't let him find out about your deceit from someone else, because he will find out eventually. Be a big girl and take control of your life and deal with the consequences of your actions.

 The thing is, you already know your answer.
It is understandable that you still feel wanted, but this other guy is definitely BAD for both you and your husband.
I would
a) tell your husband
b) break all contact with this supposed friend.
He is taking advantage of you when you are vulnerable. Taking advantage of his BEST FRIEND's WIFE.
Why are you responding? I don't know how the situation is between you and your husband, but maybe you are responding to these advances because you don't get the same treatment in your marriage.
Either way, you need to do the RIGHT thing, and tell your husband the truth.
Sorry for the turmoil you are going through. I hope everything works out for you...
Good luck
