Year Three

Thu, 06-18-2009 - 10:08pm
Like many of you, I met an amazing man. Tall, dark & handsome. Intelligent. Successful. Married. He didn't feel wanted at home - I didn't feel valued at mine. It wasn't long before the email only relationship turned into calls, visits, and occasional sex. We have both professed to be in love - but don't plan to leave our spouses or kids. He says it's forever - I wonder how long it will last. Any advice out there from women who have gone against the odds and made it to year four or five or more? Is it really possible?

My A is a year and some months old.but i guess i as to "What's made it that successful?" , its all about being fair to each other,knowing the limits of the nature of the A,accepting the facts which we dont want to(lol),keeping expectations in check( soooo easy to say!)- to name a few
