I am in love with another woman aside my wife but this other woman just wants us to be dear friends… we have great phone talk and she is soo sweet to me…she is divorced with 4 kids
Hi Felix,
Unfortunately, You are in “love” with neither. You are infatuated with the other woman and, if you choose to pursue a relationship with her, you are choosing to put your marriage and whole way of life as you know it, in peril.
Ask yourself if it’s worth it? Ask yourself if you are prepared for the consequence of divorce and all that entails? Ask yourself if this is the kind of man you want to be? Ask yourself if the vows you took meant nothing? Ask yourself what kind of a person this other woman is if she doesn’t mind getting involved with a married man? Ask yourself if this is what your loyal and loving wife deserves; the woman you claim to “love”?
I would advise you to put your energies and efforts into your marriage. However, If you do choose to disregard that and decide to pursue this new relationship, do things in the right order. Don’t start lying, sneaking, and cheating. get a divorce first. At least be honorable enough to do that.
Sincere
