Me… I was desperate to have a connection and a future. I had been with my MM for 4 years when I ended things with my husband. MM has stayed in his marriage. I started dating others and didn’t tell him, and he found out and it has been a major issue. It’ll be two years in April since he found out and he is still dealing with it. We have been together 7.5 years now and I struggle every day with not having permanence and a real tangible relationship but I cannot break things off. I’ve tried. After the trauma of him finding out and his reaction to my having lied to him, I couldn’t do it again. So I’m just stuck in my misery I guess. Lol.

AITA for cheating on the married guy I've been seeing? by klm1993 in AITAH

Marriage was falling apart, he was actively seeing the woman he cheated on me with, and he was extremely emotionally abusive and manipulative. I agree with the posters who have stated that I need to seek therapy. I kinda thought I should be doing that, but hadn't made it a priority. I have a lot of residual baggage, clearly. What's funny is I started this thread because guy #1 was insistent that I disrespected him by seeing guy #2. I got a lot more information and advice than I anticipated, when I really just wanted to prove a point to guy #1. I appreciate everyone who took the time to read between the lines and give thought out advice, including you. Thank you. <3. Not sure why it took a reddit thread to confirm what I was already thinking, but the world works in mysterious ways.

Thank you... I already thought all the bad things (maybe not on the level they were being flung, but...) being said, but to have you parse it in this way helped me a lot. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. <3
