How to move on from a relationship?

Wow karma is all I got to say and there is no way you can justify what you did. And if he truly wanted to leave her and pursue you he would have you need to do some soul searching and work on yourself.

It’s really sad how many of you were failed on so many topics from culture, to arranged marriages, to sex, to sexuality. đŸ€ŠđŸ»

Yes op you’ll be fine once you find someone whom is actually available.

So you left cause he won’t leave his wife or did the wife find out about you and told him he must get rid of you
I’m sure you will move on easy and look for another married man or you can just stand on a corner at nightime in a red-light area

Leaving was the smart thing 
 you have to be strong now. Time will lessen the pain . Start doing things for yourself . Take yoga or something that interests you . Keep busy and find yourself . Maybe a journal for your thoughts. You did the hardest part already 
. Now it’s all up hill to better days !! Be proud of yourself for waking away from a situation that was going no where .

you will, it will be hard for sure. the fact is you didn’t have any loyalties to his wife, he did. you didn’t marry her, you didn’t say vows to be with her
 he did. just think about all that time you wasted? you’re right, you can’t help who you love, shit happens. you’ll get there, it may take time but you will. everyone saying “how did they have kids if be wasn’t physically attracted to her” it happens, a lot. most people in arranged marriages only have sex to have kids, weather they’re attracted to their other half or not because it is their “duty” people talk about home wreckers a lot
 but that’s bullshit. if he didn’t leave the door wide open for you then it wouldn’t of happened, but it would’ve happened with someone else. that’s his doing, let it go. let him go

You had an affair with a married man, pick up what’s left of your pride and keep this to yourself.

SMH all cheating married men run that same line to their side chicks about how they are so unhappy and not attracted to the wife anymore. That’s just a tactic to get some side ass. But in the same breath they’re sitting home with their family bragging how happy they are and don’t want to leave and don’t make an attempt to leave. Y’all side chicks need to smarten up. If a man is so unhappy with his current situation he would get out of it before starting something else. I had a man try the same thing with me. He was an ex and claimed he wanted to be with me again but he was with someone else (not married) they have a baby together and he kept saying how he was unhappy and complained about her the whole time and said all they did was fight every day. He would want to come see me and take me out and all that good stuff. I told him if he wants me he has to dump her I refused to see him even if it was just to say hi. Needless to say he’s still with her we never hooked up and I didn’t stand around waiting I told him I won’t be waiting around for him and I also told him just because he says all that stuff doesn’t mean I believe it. I’ve been through the same shit with my ex husband we was good at home and seemed so happy and he was telling other women how he was so unhappy and all that crap. Anywho homeboy is still with the woman he claims to be so miserable with and I am with the love of my life and we are getting married on Valentine’s Day. You wasted all that time being the damn side chick thinking that man wanted you because he threw you a few crumbs. Lol I bet your ass was skinnin and grinnin the whole time he was stepping out on his wife to see you.

Girl you tell yourself he has no physical or emotional attraction to his wife to justify you being his side piece. Stop it.

There’s no justification for being his side piece, but I was friends with and Indian man who dated a girl he absolutely loved and wanted to marry. He had to break up with her because his parents had chosen his wife. He tried to talk his way out of the marriage but his parents wouldn’t accept her because she was American. Its kind of sad because a lot of these marriages are loveless and full of resentment.

This page is so ridiculous. People only come on here to rip each other apart. It sounds like you are upset and tearing someone down when upset obviously isn’t going to help anything or anyone. My advice is to block him in every sense of the way, because you shouldn’t have a relationship with a married man. It sucks that his culture is like that, but you should respect the marriage even if he doesn’t. Going from there, I would say to work on yourself. Like very seriously work on who you are as a person, and focus on your own life.

People are so quick to condemn but we ALLL SIN, like the saying “don’t judge me because I sin differently than you.”We are human, we LEARN and move on, to hopefully be better next time, and make better choices. Unfortunately it takes a really stupid decision to see we were wrong but can’t go back and do things differentlyThere’s some nasty hateful people in these comments. And yes men will say anything to make you feel sorry for them. They lie lie lie. I don’t want any part of it. If a man wants to continue to lie to other women then obviously there was a problem in the marriage from the beginning and he’s a douche bag. That’s the reason why marriages fail, because someone inside the marriage wants to fuck around. Not what the other lady said, hold the man accountable for ONCE. But just say NO THANKS for now on and don’t believe the pathetic shit they say.

do you even feel bad? did the wife know? I assume not. big yuck

:face_with_raised_eyebrow: No when he said Married you didn’t think hmm :thinking: you should Always be the main event not the sideshow . In time u will move on just prAy u don’t end up being cheated on

You cant justify sleeping with a married man by saying you can’t help who you fall in love with. You can help having some morals. Regardless of how their marriage started he is married and you are just wrong all the way around as is he.

We can’t help who we love but you participated in committing adultery and that is just awful. More than likely you will never find true love after that as it’s going to be taken away from you. You always have the choice to make the right decision. I hope after this you find your way and learn your worth and pray that it never happens to you. Karma is beast and it comes back around. Not trying to hurt ur feelings but you cannot find happiness in hurting other ppl to gain it.

Sorry but whether he was happy in the marriage or not doesn’t mean the infidelity is justified. Maybe in your mind but the rest of the world doesn’t see it like that. He cheated and you were the tool to do so. You should block him in every sense and move tf on. If I were you I’d hope and pray that the next serious relationship you are in, you dont get cheated on. Karma has a way of finding us, even if we think we are in the clear.

Work on yourself and maybe answer the question, Why was I okay being the side piece and not the main event.

Wait let me get this straight you actively engaged in a 5 year relationship with someone you knew couldn’t fulfill a commitment to you going into the whole 5 year shebang and now you are questioning the ending? I think you’ll get over it as a lesson learned. If you’d like a commitment you have to start with a solid base for it, which would be not starting a relationship with someone who you know will never be able to commit. Short answer is yeah you’ll get over it if you give yourself time and do a little self work on why you thought this would end differently. Not being mean but want you to ask yourself honestly did you go into it thinking he would leave her for you? If so why? Are you trying to prove you are better than her? Are you trying to figure out your worth and value based on if he’d pick you? There’s gotta be a reason why you put yourself in that situation knowingly for 5 years and once you find the ugly truth to it you’ll find what you need to heal from therefore finding the way to get over the situation. In addition you only know one side of the story, his. Which could all be one big lie. It might not be arranged marriage at all. You have no idea her narrative here. And take a moment to ponder how you’d feel in her shoes. That’s a lot of potential pain you inflicted on another woman you don’t know and her children. So get digging for answers as to why you did it so willingly and start to heal those traumas as you go.

So sad reading all of these comments. People just don’t understand. I was dated a man who was “a single dad”. I found out that he was married to 2 women (one lived in his home country and one lived in the US with but was from his home country). They both knew about me but when I found out about them I ended it. His wife who lives in the US called me and then came to see me asking if I would reconsider because we are all one big family and he was looking for an “American wife”. I declined but things like the OP do happen and it’s acceptable in some cultures. She is most likely not a home wrecker and other things that she has been called. My advice is to move on and eventually find someone who can and will commit to you and only you.

Dang it. The comments. People make mistakes. I know this hurts but staying with an unavailable man would be way worse. 5 years of your life is a long time to give to someone. Breaking it off was the right thing to do. I imagine his wife has an inkling that there’s been someone else. Let’s say in a “perfect” world, he met you first and broke his family’s traditions and was disowned by his family- that would take a huge toll on the relationship- I know people who have been through that- let’s look at the other he has kids- he leaves his wife- his whole family would pressure him on how he’s failing the family and God- his kids would hate you and blame you. There’s no way a situation like this has a win to it. Even if, being apart he decides on his own and leaves his wife, you’ll always know he was unfaithful to his wife that he had sex with (physical attraction to) enough to have children with. If I were you, I’d work with a cognitive behavioral therapist to get to the root of your thoughts, patterns, and behaviors- to understand yourself and these choices and make peace with yourself so that you can move forward. You’re in a difficult situation loving someone you can never really have not fully. It’s terrible. When I was 20 I met a man I had no idea was married- we were together for about 6 months when I figured it out. I left him bc that wasn’t acceptable to me that he lied about soemthing so important. His wife deserved more and so did I. I could never build a life with someone who lied to me like that. Just beware he’s probably not going to leave you alone: which will only make it harder. Unfortunately this man has taken lots of time and life from Two women. His wife now wears shame bc I’m sure she knows of the infidelity even just in he spirit and he’s wasted 5 years of your life with no promise of any future. This is very sad for everyone involved. Stay the course.

Good for u to realize you deserve better. You deserve a whole love, not one shared wit another woman. One day at a time, give urself time. It gets easier as time goes, be patient n’ kind to yourself. Best of luck moving forward

You can’t help who you love. But you can be emotionally responsible and not pursue a relationship with someone unavailable to you. You don’t have to choose to vacation with a married man. I’m not trying to judge but you actively pursued this and kinda buried yourself in this mess. He should of been more of a man than to keep being married and have kids with one woman and also spend so much time and effort and vacation with a woman on the side. Therapy. Therapy. Therapy.

Find someone single and leave the married men alone.

she was married to a man with that culture. He had another wife with 5 kids. She was married to him for the longest time
they all got along. It was all strange to me but he lived with his wife and kids
she had her own place. They would even come visit my aunt. It’s allowed they can have up to several wife’s. Just a big no for me but to each their own I guess
my aunt passed away from cancer a couple years ago.

Regardless of the situation, heartbreak is hard.
My advice is BE STRONG; stay away from him now (delete/block his number and from all social media etc)!
Allow yourself time to grieve, and embrace those feelings. The end of a relationship is a big emotional loss after all. Cry as much as you need to, just try not to wallow in it.
And finally, focus on you! Watch your favourite movies, read your favourite books and really throw yourself into learning all about you.
Good luck on your journey :blush:

 talk to his wife. Be honest about what happened
 your emotions and feelings of everything involving you both. Give her a chance to decide too
 she might have always wanted to leave that man

You should tell his wife about the affair
 She has every right to know the type of man she really has as a husband and father to her kids.
She deserves to know the truth so she can make a decision as to whether she wants to be with a chronic liar and cheater or move on considering the way her husband feels about her.
If she kicks him out you can have him and perhaps he wil do this to u too. You deserve him
