I've been involved in an A for 3 months now. How do you keep your emotions from getting the best of you? Everytime I'm with OM I fall harder and harder for him!

It is hard for me as well, because my MM provides for me all the love and caring and concern that I'm not getting with my H. It's hard NOT to fall harder and harder for him. I think it was because I'd fallen out of love with my H before I even met my MM. The best of luck to you!

I have been involved in an A for over a year and the emotions only get stronger and stronger... I think I can control them but the truth is...it never gets any easier.. I found this board about 3 weeks ago and it has been a great help to me.. I have been M for over 9 years and I love my husband, however, my OM is wonderful... He is also M and has 4 children.. Its and up and down sort of thing and it always will be for me...

Hi hondagal,


Not sure I can add much... the ladies have said it all so well :)


I don't really think that one can really control their emotions... it's more so in accepting the relationship... that's how it is for me anyway.


I've been with MM for almost 4 years now... and an emotional feeling and loving him where all just part of the process... however... I have learned to accept our relationship for what it is... and that is... and EMA! we are both married with children and have no intensions of leaving for other people... but we do very much enjoy what we have together.


MM knows exactly how I feel about him... took me a while to tell him... but as we had never lied to one another... I felt that I couldn't lie about my feelings either.

Sweet
