Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by rominiyi(f): 11:50am On Feb 11, 2009
Thanks Vonny , all well said , I am crying reading what u have written up for me ,

Vonny:

Rominiyi,

Wake up and smell the coffee woman. You are looking at your marriage and your past relationship through rose-colored glasses. In other words, you are in DENIAL. The issue here is not your EX or your HUSBAND. The issue here is YOU.

You are not as EMOTIONALLY AVAILABLE as you think you are. As a matter of fact, you are far from it. Here's why---

1. So your husband did 'things' to you and has been doing 'things' to you for quiet sometime, but you've been going back to him to try to work things out---good for you, I applaud you for trying, but the truth is you haven't done the most important thing of all---YOU haven't TRULY FORGIVEN him. This is the reason why you are running to your ex for emotional support. Moreover, if it is that YOU are ALWAYS the one that tries to work things out with your husband, then you may also be in DENIAL in regards to your marriage. Have there been times when YOUR HUSBAND ran back to you to try to work things out or has it always been your attempt to?

2. Before new tenants (your ex) move into your home (marriage), you must first SELL YOUR HOME (divorce). In other words, your home (marriage) is far from being SOLD, and it hasn't been SOLD---You are still married to your husband regardless of whether or not your having problems; therefore, there's no room for new tenants (your ex) right now. Even if you sell your home (marriage), you still have to clean up the house (a process called HEALING if you choose to leave your husband) for your new tenant. When you walk away from a relationship, you need time to HEAL from it (regardless on whether or not it was a bad relationship). If you leave your husband, you will still need time to 'HEAL ALONE.' If you choose not to HEAL ALONE, and opt to run to the arms of your ex. Your relationship with your ex will end just as fast as it started.

Rominiyi, a failed relationship/marriage is NEVER a one-way street. You keep putting the blame on your husband, but what part have you played in it? If you think you've done NOTHING wrong then think again. You've already been sneaking around and introducing your daughter to your long lost ex.

Anyway, before you decide to LEAP, I would suggest thinking about the following---

Are you ready to face your marital problems head on, and actually FORGIVE your husband for his wrong doings in the past?
Are you ready to displace your child's idea of marriage?
Are you willing to break a home (marriage), in order to work on another (your ex)?
Why did you break up with ex? Why did your ex get a divorce? What were the issues in his marriage? Be very careful when you get this information from him, because you are only hearing HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.
Why would you want to work on UNCERTAINTY (your ex), instead of working on a GUARANTEE (your marriage)?

There's so much at risk right now---YOUR HUSBAND, YOUR CHILD, YOUR MARRIAGE, Notice I don't say your ex, because he is not truly part of your life YET.

I'm sure there are plenty of more questions that you can ask yourself, but my advice is---

Life is too short to work on UNCERTAINTIES---If you leave your husband, and get back together with your ex and things don't work out between the two of you, you will find yourself back to square one---which is, hopping to the next man for emotional support---have you thought of what this will do to your child?---Oh my, too much to lose for a man you are uncertain of, but, GOOD LUCK. wink

Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by chihums(m): 11:58am On Feb 11, 2009
i wonder o, where has he been all these while. Now he has come to shatter another's family, He didn't contact your Dad then . now he has been travelling 40,000 mile to catch an old fish.
Let this not happen to me o. Amen
Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by popegirl(f): 11:58am On Feb 11, 2009
@ poster,
you are married to someone you dont love, right, and the love of your life is begging to come back, look, i've been hurt and i dont think i ever want to love again, but i still believe you should go after the man you love cos , since you are not happy with your marriage and you feel the only man that can make you happy is still single and willing to marry you, marriage is a lifetime thing and i won't advice you to spend the rest of ur life with a man you dont love, if you can tolerate him fine, butif you can't, pls follow your heart and go after the man that makes you happy
Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by flightgirl: 12:03pm On Feb 11, 2009
Girl you gotta be kidding me.

Don't ever ever ever compromise your marriage like that. This guy is going to play you. And you will certainly suffer , I had been down that road, and I can tell you.

Forget about him and move on. You have already done wrong by agreeing to meet this guy again.

You think its love but its lust. Anyway, good luck.

Hey Popegirl, you suck. If she gets into trouble you will be nowhere to be found. you want her to end in despair like you. That's not fair.

And me too oh. Amen!

Reason why I am going to change all my mobile numbers and quit membership of any social networking site once I get married.

I won't allow any foolish ex-boyfriend, old flame, friend or whatever adjective he might call himself, after calling it quits only to come back begging years after and start sowing seeds of doubts/strife/temptation in my marriage.  angry

Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by Bricklace(f): 12:28pm On Feb 11, 2009
@ Rominiyi, the poster,

PLS JUST HOLD UP WHATEVER DECISION YOU HAVE COME UP WITH & FOLLOW THE PLAN BELOW, RIGHT NOW U ARE NOT THINKING WITH YOUR HEAD BUT YOUR HEART:

Go and watch The movie - "Fireproof" @  
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpuRpjPSFpc.

But first of all read the story line @ http://www.squidoo.com/fireproof-the-movie.

I believe whatever is lost (be it love or attention) in your marriage, can be restored after watching the movie

Like i said earlier in my previous post, "Don't start what you can't finish". I believe God is going to use the movie to transform your life and that of your present hobby ( erasing your ex out of the picture).
Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by rominiyi(f): 12:29pm On Feb 11, 2009
we dont have to abuse each other, we are after all matured! I know your opininon matters a whole lot , to me in this time . but whatever I make up my mind to do is Final,
pls stop calling each other names and call me all the names u want, It might or wont bulge me at all.

Be careful the way you discuss this with you husband. if you speak to him they way you have been speaking on NL, I guess most guys will give you a beating you will not forget in a hurry. use your head. Ask what he wants, not what you want. If he is going away with a white girl, then he will willingly allow for a divorce. but work to save your marriage
Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by dontexe(m): 12:36pm On Feb 11, 2009
This is what happens when people get married for the wrong reason. I can't believe a married woman can be talking like this. You are just a confused soul, and I'm not sorry to say that. There's no relationship without challenges, what makes you think that this is still the same guy you've always known. What if he has changed. Why did u allow him into your life when you already know what could happen. It shows you wanted out of your marriage all along. There's no excuse for infidelity, be it in relationship or marriage.

Madam, you've got no point. If you think you still love (love my foot!!) your ex, divorce your current husband and go for him, but you must be ready to face the consequence of your actions. Do you think it's easy to build a successful marriage You don't love your current husband and that's the truth. I doubt if you guys communicate enough, otherwise you should have been able to resolve whatever differences you have. Instead of doing that, you rather want to go for an ex that you virtually know nothing about again. It shows you are desperate to get out of your marriage. I can't advice you to go neither will I advice you to stay. If you decide to go and your new husband decided to take a worse path than your current husband, I wonder what your next decision will be.
Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by rominiyi(f): 12:41pm On Feb 11, 2009
I have just finished discussing with a man of God , he says biblically , its capital NO. nevertheless the situation is a complex one , its obvious that u are not married to the person whom u actually love.
take time to pray about ur decision, and he also said its true that people get married to the wrong person and when they actually sees whom their heart desires, His exact words,

my brother this can happen to the wisest of people.  she didnt call for it. it nearly happened to me just this last year. it takes just the click of the mouse on face book/ myspace or a chance meeting.  i my case an ex show up on a tagged photo taken almost 17yrs ago.

you  learn to say to NO and avoid tricky situations. she still hasnt given up. my number 1 priority is to protect my mrs.  to be tempted is not the sin. it is the yielding.   we all have our own temptations this is this ladys own if she overcomes it becomes a testimony and so we counsell and pray for her to overcome this cos it aint worth it.

Re: In love with my Ex, but I am married by dontexe(m): 12:56pm On Feb 11, 2009
It is the neglect of timely repair that makes re-building necessary. Shit happens, but you left a lot of things unattended to, search yourself and you'll see where things started to go wrong in your marriage,
