What exactly did you want to hear? Dannymac Send a noteboard - 12/02/2013 04:31:56 AM
I mean, you've set up the scenario where you are basically saying; "I know it's wrong, but I can't help myself, because it feels good."

And this is crap.

You say you love your wife, so I can only assume she legitimately makes you happy. If you are willing to jeopardize that just for the raw chemistry of the flirting you are talking about, then yeah, at least have the decency to divorce her before you do so. You made promises. Keep them.

It's time to be a grown up. That means making your choices and living with the consequences. But if there is ANYTHING to your love for her, shoot straight and at least don't cheat. If serial monogamy is your thing, go for it. But at least own it, instead of playing stupid games and hoping she doesn't find out.

My advice, of course, would be to honor the commitment you made to her. But if you just can't do that, at least be honorable about it. You already have a lot to apologize to her for.

The telling you to grow up bit wasn't the advice TheCrownless - 12/02/2013 01:09:54 AM 1246 Views
So there is no situation in which advice helps? Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 01:23:21 AM 1267 Views

You're assuming a moral absolute Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 02:06:13 AM 1455 Views
It is called forsaking all others, and yes there are absolutes. HyogaRott - 13/02/2013 05:58:20 PM 1334 Views
My opinion ... Nate - 12/02/2013 01:21:38 AM 1274 Views
That's not really advice Dark Knight - 12/02/2013 01:28:42 AM 1312 Views

i was poly for a decade. maybe that's a thing to consider? opening your marriage for both of you? temeraire - 13/02/2013 05:12:06 AM 1144 Views
If you don't have kids, then just leave the marriage or have an open relationship. *NM* Tom - 12/02/2013 05:19:27 AM 627 Views
