A male United States age 41-50, *digitaldestiny writes:

Ok, now check this out. A year and a half ago, I got into a relationship. After she moved here, she began spending time with another man.....a "friend" as she put it. We got married, and 6 weeks into it, she comes to me with the story she has discovered that her previous divorce wasn't finalized. With that, she informed me that she wanted me to go on with my life without her. I did. Had a date that very weekend. The almost-wife got angry about it. 5 months go by, and she is now seeing the man that had been hanging around all that time. I have now been in relationship for 3 months, and something tells me to validate the legitemacy of the finalization of the ex'es divorce. Turns out her story was a load of bull. I feel like she cooked up the story so she could appease her curiosity about the other man, while not cutting me loose to do what i wanted to do. Hence, her reaction to my first date after we split. My question, is are there any other women out there that tried to do this to a man? Why did you do it?

The whole story looks very strange to me. How come you took her word about the previous marriage? You can't marry someone if you are still married to someone else. That's against the law in my country, in yours and all over the world.

You have to see a lawyer ASAP. Because, if your marriage is valid yet, she could demand you for adultery. Or you could demand her. This is wrong at so many levels...

TEM agony auntYou have asked if there are other women out there that have done this to a man. I have not, but I am giving you an answer because I am unsure that you will find anyone that has done this. It is simply not that easy to do, or get away with.

When you applied for a marriage license, they should have asked for documentation of any previous marriages and divorces. You cannot get a marriage license unless you show proof of divorce from a previous marriage. Marriages are a matter of public record and this is easily checked.

As to why she did it, I would say she is devious and manipulative to say the least. She appears to be a person that uses others. You are better off without her. I imagine you will try to get your marriage annulled.
