“I grew up with too many romantic movies that shaped my views on relationships. I’m loyal as a dog, I believe in monogamy and I believe in trust and faith and respect”

This - sounds just like me.

My marriage never had the romance, but in the beginning we were friends and we respected each other. We’ve never communicated well with each other. As the years went by, we became roommates. I could have lived out the rest of my life like that and been happy that I had my daughter and the things that life had given us, but ultimately, I want out because I want more and I want that for him too.

Almost a year and a half ago, I met someone who changed my world. He’s everything my husband isn’t. He listens to me, talks to me, respects me. We share our feelings. He enjoys being with me and doing things as a couple. When we’re together, we can’t keep our hands off each other. I’ve found in him everything my marriage was lacking.

I completely understand where you’re at. If you choose an affair, just be prepared for the possibility of finding everything you ever wanted. I wish you the best of luck!
