If you would like to try to make it work

There is an awesome book you can read for help

It is called Buyers, Renters, and Freeloaders

It's all about how to get to a working relationship when the one you are in just doesn't seem to be working

It is not for married people only

You can buy it and get it sent to you fairly cheap. (Secret tip: buy "The One," which is the same book in paperback for cheaper, and they will send you the hardcover "Buyers, Renters, and Freeloaders" version at the same price.)

You might be able to get it from a library for free, or used somewhere for cheap under either of those titles.

Also, if you call the Marriage Builders radio show today with a question about your relationship, they will probably give you a copy for free. They love to take questions and they are much nicer than the people on this forum. Call between 2 and 3 Central Time, 1-888-332-5169. They always give out a free book to questioners.


If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

I wasn't looking to fall in love...I was just enjoying the companionship (traveling etc.) but of course my heart got in the way. I new of his past with women but I ignored it. I just thought that as he get older that he would get more settled..


I think someone else said this but....Hows that working out for ya??? I mean you seem to know all the answers and are insulting posters....Why are you asking us for advice if we dont know anything?....You know EVERYTHING...That is why you are in the situation you are in.

And a realist you are not....Unless you think that, waiting till he got older would "make" him more settled, is realism. You are getting REAL advice on here and you just dont like the REALSIM! Until you can face it you cant fix it....

Apparently you cannot see that you are the one looking like the angry you-know-what.

Your defensiveness and anger are quite telling...

You're right, I think I missed that.

Guess I never should have worn that white gown.

Jamala, I'm sure you mean well, but assuming everybody posting to you is a lady is really not very polite to the men here who are trying to help you, like me. I promise you I'm a man. A complete fake of a man, but I am a man.

My wife, Prisca, is entirely real, and I'm sure she'd like to help you as well, if you're interested.

Hmmm A VERY GOOD INCOME? THis tells me you might be the mistress. You are not living with him after all. Are you the mistress and hiding your relationship from his wife?

Or, are you one of many mistresses and girlfriends he has?

He does not sound wealthy and classy if his ex wife was a crack addict. Sounds like a typical dirtbag. Something here does not add up.

Jamela, this site doesn't teach you to trust, trust, trust. It teaches you to VERIFY, not to trust. That's one of the first principles they ask people to work on when they come here with a partner who is committing adultery.

Have you read through this site's Basic Concepts?

http://www.marriagebuilders.com/graphic/mbi3000_intro.html

We can help you get where you want to go, and you said you'd appreciate suggestions and ideas. There are some awesome relationship tools here on this site, but you'll have to do some reading to learn how they work. Have you read any of the links we've been giving you? You said you'd appreciate the suggestions, but I'm not sure you're reading them, which makes me feel kind of unappreciated.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but we are only trying to give you advise if you don't like it, then don't take it, and be happy where you are in your relationship...errr...I mean OPEN relationship with this man you are dating.

But Please don't come on here and bash us, some of these people have been here for more then 10 years helping marriages, and let me tell you this, they HELP EVERY SINGLE one of those marriages come back and become one of the happiest marriages out there.

Anyone can come on here and post, get advise, take it, or don't take it. I can tell you now though that if my husband never found this site I wouldn't be here with my two beautiful boys, with a loving husband.

Your choice.

Just enjoy being his mistress and leave it at that! If he is rich, then he can afford many mistresses. Does he support you?

Thank you,

You can't. We worked hard to provide help to you, and we don't want our work deleted.

Calm down, Jamela, or you'll hurt yourself. Have you read any of the articles on this site? Why don't you do that and then come back here? And leave your left hook at the door - we've seen it from defensive SO's before, and it didn't faze us then, either.
