My wife and I have been separated since Dec 2001. Our divorce was final in Nov 2002. She left under conditions of she could no longer live as man and wife.
I later found out she has been seeing a man who is currently married and has been for 33 years. This has been going on for a couple of years. She has made several claims it is just a frienship. She has said she wants to break things off but does not want to hurt him. He is 55 and she is 24 today Jan 1st 2003
I have heard from a couple of people that she still loves me and knows it is wrong what she is doing.
Is there any advice or materials out there to help?
I am currently reading Power of a Praying Husband by Stormie Omartian. It has been very helpful.

Chaney,
Welcome to MB but sorry for the reason that you are here. Have you read this website and the MB books? They are about the best I have ever seen on the subjrct of relationships.
Prayer does work - you might want to check out a thread on this board where we pray and fast weekly by Ca junky.
Other guys will be along to lend support and offer suggestions I'm sure.
Also, I would suggest posting on General Questions II as it gets more traffic and there are those that post who are married, separated, and divorced. It's a holiday and at times that makes these boards a little slower so be patient.
God Bless,
D.

Sorry C,
WS - Wayward Spouse
BS - Betrayed Spouse
I ask because in looking at your previous history post from last year you said you were tired of feeling guilty and was glad to get it out about the affair.
I see your story above about your exw but I want to be sure you're not saying in past post you had an affair then your wife had one later. Just want everyone to help you as much as possible.
Welcome
