I would like a guys opinion here please.
While I was separated from the husband (story on forum) I met this guy online in a public forum and alot of people there knew him and we set up a date in another state Nashville a place that I always wanted to go to anyways we talked about getting married and having 2 babies, where we want to live and etc. I met his parents and he met mine. I didn't know what real love was until I met him BUT in December I got scared for financial reasons and the soon to be x came back to pay me some money that he owed me and we thought we would give it one more try and went to counseling and I emailed this man told him I could have no contact with him and my husband never broke it off his woman any ways all hell broke loose New Years Eve so the divorce is back on and I called the other man and told him what happend he said he knew something like that would happen. He knows my whole story and I asked him to forgive me and he said first he was angry with me the way I decided to end it he said I sent an email and that was that and he didn't get to have any say in the matter. Then he said it's gonna take alot of talking and time. He also said that he will not call the house until the divorce is final. I have called him a couple of times and we talked a little bit. Does it sound like he is willing to give it another chance? My counselor said last night that he sounded like he really liked you and he won't have contact until after I go through with the divorce to make sure I don't back out again. I love this man more than anything and I royally screwed up by going back to husband for 1 month but I think in reality me and the husband probably did it more for the kids cause it was Christmas. Any ways if this was you would you give me another chance?Does it sound like he's willing to give it another chance?
Thanks.

Maybe now you can understand a bit as to why it is recommended you wait to date until a divorce is final.

If I were YOU, I wouldn't give it another chance. I would end the relationship with this guy since you are having major problems before you even get divorced.

My opinion is that he sees it like this

You are leaving your husband for him
You left him for your husband
Again you are leaving your husband for him
Next you will be leaving him for ?????????

Give the poor guy a break. Let him know that you understand how he feels. Because you probably feel how he did when you sent him that email.

When you are truly ready to move on and D is final, maybe you can look him up again.

I would like to give you my short and honest opinoin on this issue. A long long time ago I learned the valuable lesson of not getting romantically involved with married women. I would recommend this to any man currently involved with or wanting to get involved with ANY married lady.

The answer to your question, "Would I give you another chance?" Yes, I would, but not until I knew for a fact the divorce was final.

Do you realize a person can get themselves into legal problems if they have sexual affairs with married people? They can also get themselves into life threating problems.

Good luck and best wishes.

I just want to say thank you for your replies.
It's nice to get a man's opinion/thoughts on this

My d should be final in February the x has to look over the papers and if he agrees on them we go to court and I can tell you I am having a very hard time waiting to talk to om and on D day if my heart had wings I would fly to him.

SL35: I am thinking that the new man in your life is doing all those things the old man(present husband) isn't doing. He is meeting your needs by talking and getting to know you. You are wanting someone to do this for you and Mr.email is getting the job done.
