In Love With a Married Man?
Are you the "other woman"? If you're involved with a married man, and you're waiting for your turn, it's time to re-evaluate your situation. Dr. Phil McGraw checks in:
If you're putting your life on hold for a married man, he's stolen not only your heart — he's stolen your brain, too! The majority of married men are not planning to leave their established lives to begin one with you.
THIS ONE REALLY HIT ME!!!!!!
You may feel that he's your soulmate, but think again. A real soulmate would not set you on the sidelines. He wouldn't allow it, let alone entice it.
Even if your married man decided to leave his wife and family for you, that doesn't guarantee success. Relationships born out of affairs survive less than 5% of the time.
The bottom line? Break off this relationship today. You'll be hurt, you'll feel brokenhearted, but you'll be better off in the long run. Eventually, you'll fall in love again... with someone who's willing to make you first in his life.
I got that from here... lots of other interesting things here too - if you are interested! ;)

the hardest part for me though is letting go of om. i say now..sure i can do it. but we aren't able to talk now. i know once we start talking again, i will have a completely different view.
but you know what..my dh is wonderful to me. i think deep down i may never be able to leave him. he is a good provider. and honestly i do compare dh and om...and om is not nearly as accomplished and successful as dh..even though dh is almost 2 years younger than om. and i really look at that and think what a difference that will make in my own future.

dh is very open with his feelings. and with om it's harder for him to express himself. but it's like when he does watch out because they are amazing. but i just wish he could tell me more often how he cares about me. i have ended it several times with him because he couldn't open up to me.
