Bottom line is I'm being manupulated to stay in an affair by the threat "I'll tell her everything" " I'll destroy you " There's a whole lot of detail that I could discuss and would like to with the right person...I'm at wits end... I don't sleep, I can't eat. My life is a ruin. My wife, my kids, will be the losers in the end and it kills me... I'm at such a loss. I agree to everything and anything to pacify this person.

Welcome to marriagebuilders. Glad you found us.
Well, the obvious answer is for YOU to tell your wife and end the affair.
Do you and your affair partner work together?

I agree to everything and anything to pacify this person. Then stop being stupid. Confess to your W and tell the OW to get lost. Whether your BW decides to give you another chance is up to her but you brought this on yourself. Grow a pair.

Tell your wife and children the truth and tell the OP to hit the road. Real simple. Yes, your wife and kids have lost, but more lies will not change that. Honesty is the solution to infidelity, not more lies.

You KNOW she would want out and you are TRICKING HER into staying with you by LYING TO HER? You are DANGEROUS and MANIPULATIVE AND SELFISH to her. She has a RIGHT to know the truth about her own life and it is cruel and manipulative to trick her like this.

Everytime I start pulling away I get this your using me story. the mood changes hourly, daily. Its a bipolar personality to the max. JustStupid (the name says it all), This is tough love, buddy, but you need to MAN UP. End the affair--it is going to end anyway and you obviously know this OW is a nut-job already. Tell your wife--if she ends the marriage, as is her complete moral right to do so at this point, then you can learn some valueable lessons and rebuild your life in a new and healthy direction. If she is willing to consider reconciliation (as we hope), then the ONLY WAY to effect that is via HONESTY, OPENNESS, REMORSE, REPENTANCE, HUMILITY, and PERPETUAL NO-CONTACT with your affair-partner. Stop screwing your wife and kids around by hiding your misdeeds and be a man. The only thing worse then a cheater is a weasel-ly cheater who CYA's his/her life away... Good luck and keep us posted.

I get absolutly nothing out of the affair. Originally it was because for my selfishness but I'd say for the past year its been nothing but pain and heartache.

Right now you feel backed into a corner.
later, when you look back on this, you will understand how many more options you had available to you.
Is your fear that you will lose the M? If you hide this secret, that is inevitable.

I think about this every day, every minute of my life...I just can't do it. No you don't love them. That is a lie. You only want to save your [censored]. If you loved them you would not be manipulating and lying to trick your wife into staying with you. Lying and cheating IS NOT LOVE.

Scrape up some money and make one call to the Harleys. They will advise you on what to do.
The only reason I can think of that your marriage would be over for certain is if you have been involved in an affair before.

Is your fear that you will lose the M? If you hide this secret, that is inevitable. yes I feel like its a four sided corner with no ladder, no door, nothing...and the walls are getting blacker and closer... I am so scared and have no doubt I will lose the M and my kids will turn.

Tell your wife now and tell her everything. She deserves to know the truth because at this point truth is all you have left to offer her. I had to find out on my own. Believe me, I would rather he have manned up. At least then it would have been believable that he wanted to end the affair. BTW, he thought I would leave him and his children would turn against him. I chose to spare the children the pain, and FWH and I are progressing in recovery. TELL HER NOW AND TELL HER EVERYTHING!

Sooner or later your W is going to find out. It will go much easier on you if it comes from you. If you think maybe this will all go away, guess again. You can't erase this.
