And then we have the one that I am head over heels for. She's in Arizona, beautiful, brilliant, very respected professionally, head over heels for me, and married to a man who does not know and would not approve. I don't want to steal her, she's happy with him aside from sexually (he apparently has a very low sex drive) and they have a child together. Even just the online and occasional phone relationship that we have is not something he would be at all happy to find out about and taking it any further would, obviously be something that would break the poor man's heart if he discovered it. I'm not a supporter of cheating generally, and really didn't intend to be in the situation I am in, however I'm at the point now where ending it would leave me absolutely devastated and am really unsure what to do. I don't fall in love easily, aside from my wife it had been ten years since someone got that deeply into my heart, and when that ended I attempted suicide and was severely depressed for several years You picked the wrong day to bring this up, because I just spent over an hour on the phone with my ex-husband, trying to talk him out of cheating on his wife. He is kinky, she's vanilla, and their marriage has been hell on both of them for the past ten or so years...but they have four kids to raise. You asked for it so I'm going to speak plainly. Do you have a death wish? Seriously. Do you think every blessed spouse who is cheated on just takes it lying down? Morals issues aside, your illicit romance could have serious repercussions. After you and your wife made your agreement to see other people... Friends of mine who have been poly told me that the primary relationship has the highest priority. If this woman decided to leave her hubby over you and showed up on your doorstep...and you had to make a choice between your wife and your sub, who would you choose to be with? They were reasonably happy together until you came along and made her fall in love with you. You say you do not normally support cheating...but...when you found out she was married...why didn't you back off? When I start falling for someone, it comes in stages that I recognise. If I decide a relationship will not be appropriate, I run like hell. Sure, falling in love feels great, the euphoria is incredible...believe me, I love the walking on air feeling. But this is not just about you and about your sub. Her husband is an innocent bystander in this and so is her young child. By the way, when a woman becomes the secret lover of a married man...she is called a home wrecker. There should be an equal term for a man. Ninevah, this is a train wreck in progress. Did you ever think there was a way this would end well? You are in love with a married woman whose husband is clueless and never signed on for an open marriage. Like I told my ex...there is no free ride on this train. Somebody always pays. I can see a vanilla guy doing this, and maybe even a male sub. I am very disappointed to see this from a Dom. I know, I'm prejudiced about this and it sucks, but there it is; I expect dominants to be more responsible and actually be a guiding force in a relationship. When this breaks up, I hope you are prepared for it. Get some anti-depressants and join some support group if you have to. When I broke up with someone years ago, I loved him so much that it took me about ten years before that big gaping hole in my chest healed up. The first few years were the worst to get through. Next time, if a relationship is doomed from the start...don't keep playing with fire.
