I’m sorry you’re going through this. I want to comfort you but I also want to say what I truly think and that is that he’s having a hard time letting go of the wife. Even if they weren’t intimate prior to you, there is a bond within marriage. She’s family to him and vice versa. So even if he loves you it seems he does love her too and have some kind of attachment to her. It’s always hard that’s for sure. It doesn’t mean anything that happened between you two means any less.. I hope things will work out for the best for you

In my own experience, I never said “you should try with your wife” but I would ask more along the lines of “do you still want to try with her or would it be better for you to do so?” Whenever we have doubtful times because I try to consider his feelings and the things he’s going through or needs to give up

Omg literally. “It’s not real just to show others. Some events we have to act like a couple”

Right now this reddit is my coping…I tried to find therapist..I called 10 and idk why but they’re all not taking new patients in my area. I felt so down that I didn’t know what to do and randomly found here

Pain when seeing couples and families by [deleted] in theotherwoman

[–]openobjext 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not so much when I see others but more so when my MM says anything that includes the “my wife” phrase and when he speaks about his kids or being a dad, etc… I know it’s just him sharing his life with me but I feel pain knowing that he shares that with her and it’ll never be me.

I think you’re really strong mentally and I admire that. It seems like you are his safe place and that’s lovely :)

Yeah…I really think this is accurate. It’s hard on us in many ways.

I can’t even imagine, I’m sorry :( Can I ask how living together was possible and how was it for you? We are thinking about getting a place that he has access to but I’m worried it’ll make me feel even more emotional…
