Help!!!..... ok what do I do?

I recently started seeing somebody the only issue is he has a partner of 5 years already! I know this was wrong but our feelings just grew for each other and it became difficult to keep away. Everything was going great-ish but then his gf went through his phone and found some messages from me! So now knows about us… now he said he’s not sure if he wants to be with her anymore and there always arguing… I have still carried on seeing him although it’s been hard to sneak around and she always has his phone now! I told him yesterday that he needs to decide who he is going to be with either me or her because its never going to work with us if shes still there and the same if them to are giving it another go then it wont work whilst im still on scene… I was trying to do the right thing but now not sure what he’s going to do!!! And if I have done the right thing?? I don’t want to lose him but at the same time I couldn’t carry on right??????????

Please help and advice are much needed!!!

you want us to condone your affair and YOU want to justify your affair with him. if it was over with his gf of 5 years he would be with you nd not her. stop sneaking around, it is rougish behaviour. excuses from him and from you. maybe you two cheaters deserve each other. confusion, what confusion.

rollercoasterride agony auntHave you ever been in a 5 year relationship? Everyone in a relationship that long has so much history that noone outside the relationship will ever, EVER understand.

They may be having problems but you, my dear, are probably the main one. I'm not trying to be harsh but you need to see that this man is terribly selfish and he'll compain about the arguments to you but do you realise that his talking to you in the first place/everything else you do together is going to be the CAUSE of some of the arguments he's telling you about?!

If he's stringing things along with her he'll have his own reasons, and some of those reasons will almost certainly be his feelings for her. Does that make you feel special? Having a divided amount of his feelings? When there are plenty of good men out there who are single and waiting for the right girl to come along, there is absolutely no reason for you to be getting involved in their situation..

Leave the scene. Let him come to you if it's you he chooses. He's known her for 5 years, so don't feel like if you leave him be, she'll talk him round or something. He knows their history, he knows her and he doesn't know you. In fact, put it this way. One main advantage you have over her in his decision is the air of mystery, so don't hassle him like she probably does, let him know you won't be posessive and give him time.

And if you review your options and find something better in the meantime, and he comes to you saying he made the decision to leave, at least he'll get whats coming to him!
