I started an affair with a married man 10 years ago. He left his wife and we've been blissfully happy ever since. I know there will be those on this website who will crucify me for my actions, but I don't care. Sometimes happy endings really do happen.

my ex-stepmother used to say the same thing.

Well, good for you. I don't suppose you care that someone got hurt in this whole thing, as long as it wasn't you.

Love is a many strange and wonderful thing isn't it?

So I'm guessing that the happy ending wasn't for his wife, just for you. It has never happened to me, but she is probably scarred for life because of what you did. That is a very selfish thing to do. You two decided to have sex without thinking of how she would feel. Maybe I'm making assumptions that aren't true, but come on. That kind of thinking is so blissfully ignorant.
Also, maybe you're not a religious person, but I know that they teach Christianity (along with almost all religions) that adultery is wrong and is a sin. If what you say is true, then you and your guy are adulterers. I'm telling you that you should pray for forgiveness for what you did against his wife and God. You probably won't listen to me, and people will probably make fun of me for saying this, but it is the only way to forgiveness.
I don't want to judge you, but this kind of thing makes me mad. Of course, there might be circumstances that I haven't considered, like she was cheating herself, or she was bitter and unloving. But whatever the case, you having an affair with another woman's husband is not justified.
How can anyone be proud of cheating with someone's husband or wife? You posted this because you thought your actions are justified by you two being happy? That is ridiculous. Just because you are happy about what you have done doesn't mean that what you've done is something to be proud of, or admired.
No matter how you take the issue, the truth is that adultery is wrong. For those of you who support this, then I very seriously doubt that you've been the one that had your husband or wife cheat on you.

The circumstance you have not considered is that there is no God and you religion is a bunch of bullshit created by humanity. She just found a way to be happy.

She found a way to be happy at someone else's expense, most likely. Whether you believe in God or not, what she did was wrong, and her gloating attitude is insufferable. The universe needs balance, and she will pay for her actions someday. Like when her husband, who is experienced at cheating, cheats on her. What do you get when you have an affair with a married man? You get a man who cheats on his wife.

Just think, if she had not had this affair she could have met a handsome, rich famous person and had a very good life. But instead she got stuck with a dishonest cheating fop.

Wow, I'm glad to see the world we live in is still so judgmental and pious. Whew, for a second there I had hope.

Adultery is wrong. It’s as simple as that. If someone doesn't even take the time to think about the people one effects by the choices one make, that is that person's problem.

As for the person about "there is no God", if you think that way, that's sad. There is nothing to look forward to in life if that's your view. If you have something in life to look forward to, eventually it will be gone. Without faith in God, you can say, "What I enjoy will last for awhile, then it will fade away and die, just as I fade away and eventually die." However, I don't have faith in God because I'm afraid of that. I have faith in Him because I love Him and I trust in Him, and because of that, I don't believe that the Universe is a cold and dead place, with it itself ultimately dying like everything else in it. I believe in life with God, and whether anyone believes that or not, it is the Truth. I hope you will come to love Him too.

Divorce/annulment etc. are part of our society for a reason.
What reasons humans need to get a divorce or an annulment has never been nailed down properly and it should not be.
If God allows a break in his relationship with man (started with Adam & Eve remember?) why would that same God not allow the same thing happen with humans between each other?

That's too bad for the wife that she didn't marry a husband who would love her forever.

To you commenters who think what the OP did was okay: I'll bet you'd sing a different tune if you were the one who was cheated on.

I can learn my lessons in my life without being bitter about what might have been... If she left me for him and is happier for it how could I be saying that I love her and not be happy for her?

Posted by: at July 13, 2006 1:28 PM

That is a ridiculous thing to say. It isn't even about being happy. Happiness doesn't mean what she did was right; what she did was totally wrong in every way. Unless the guy's wife cheated on him in the first place, the affair was wrong in every way. Even then, it is wrong until an actual divorce is final. The only time the person who is being cheated on is happy about the cheating is when that person wanted a way to get out of the relationship.
Adultery is considered wrong by society in general. I guess the people who support this are of the few who don't see anything wrong with betraying the trust of someone who loves you, and then scarring them for life.

Either way it is better for her and her new husband... humans are made of haste so how can we dictate upon everyone patience in these matters?
I am saying I support the OP every time for all time but as someone who was on the receiving end of the same scenario I have become philosophical about it over time.
Yes it hurt and hurt a lot, it is an ache that with time and reflection becomes a stepping stone to overcome other obstacles. It was written/ it was my fate or whatever you want to call the trials of life and its lessons.
