tell him to give it a break for a while, does he got kids with his wife?
How about if their is NO physical relationship with the girlfriend? Just compassion and love? Is he still a failure to his wife?
Note to self: NEVER let my girl join ICMag....
I think your "friend" obviously does not truly love his wife or this other woman. Notice you state that he loves one for some things and the other for the opposite. If you love some one, you love them for all that they are not the things that you get out of it. I love you for the good things and I tolerate the bad because I love you. I would not seek another man who would gladly do the things you won't.
Anyways, everyone seems ok with the situation except the wife who doesn't know. The fair thing to do is tell the wife and let her decide what she wants to do. If she's smart she'll kick his ass to the curb. Come on, a year long relationship with another woman? That's rough. If she loves him she'll try to get over it. But, she will have to forever live with the thought of him lying to her for a year. A year is a long time. That's a serious relationship to me not just a "I don't know what I was thinking moment." Probably telling the other woman that he loves her. I don't think I could ever get over something like that. I'd never be the same person after that, that's for sure. I feel really sorry for his wife. I don't know if I could ever trust you again if you did something like that to me. I might be able to forgive, but I would not be able to forget and the relationship would never be the same.
Only time you can love two women at the same time is if they are bi-sexual and love each other as much as they love you, and you all have a relationship (and lotsa fun) together.
What kind of an insane man wants more than one woman?
