Hello. I have been lurking here for a while and reading the material on the MB site. It has helped a lot. My wife has left me to be with the other man. I thought she would stay after I confronted her because she has always told me she loves me and I am the one she wants to be married to.
But I found out that the affair has been going on for several years which is much longer than I suspected. The OM and her are soulmates. Yes, doens't that old excuse make you sick? So she left me for him.
At first I thought she would return after a week or two since they don't actually live together. He is still married! She left me to avoid my demands that she break off contact and to make it easy for her to talk with and visit the OM.
But, she has not returned. The MC told me that if she didn't return in a week or two this would probably go for a long duration assuming she does return. He said I would probably have to wait from 3 months to a year for her to get out of the fog if she does.
So, now I told everybody we know about her leaving me for the OM. I asked them for help as I am very lonely and I would appreciate being invited to dinner or a party whenever they can manage it.
This is my sad story.

Hello,
Does the OM's wife know about this? I assume you contacted her. I suggest that you contact an attorney to understand the legal ramifications and options availiable to you due to your wife's actions.
I wish you luck.

Yes, the OM's wife knows. In fact she told me that she had suspected things for quite some time. Apparently two years ago she and the OM went to a marriage counselor to discuss problems they were having which included his friendship with my wife. At that time he told his wife and the MC that he and my wife were only friends. That was a lie. I know for a fact that the affair was going on at that time.
The OM wife is thoroughly disgusted with him since his lies to the MC essentially sabatoged any chance at recovery. She is divorcing him.
