I meet a guy 4 weeks ago, went on a date with him and we got on really well. On the second date we had sex i began to like him even more. I meet him for the third time yesterday and after we had sex he told me he was married. I felt so crap, i just don't know what to do, i stayed with him for about a hour after he told me (without having sex) and he explained everything to me, even though he loves her they're sex life is rubbish, so he just needs someone to fill in that part. I don't really want a lot of commitment and i know if he's not doing it with me he'll find someone else, but then i keep thinking about his wife in the back of my mind. Owww, what a mess, i just don't know what to do what would you do if you were me?
the wind up is the couple who have been married upteen years but barely can stand to be near each other whilst putting on the false front for the friends and neighbours...
Mistresses usually get something other than sex out of relationships to, ie. money, somewhere to live, and other perks. How many poorer people in the countries you mention have mistresses as well as wives, Sqad. Very few I would imagine. Also religion plays a part in divorce statistics. Predominantly catholic countries will have lower divorce rates.
I would not be opposed to an open relationship I don't think. As long as there were boundaries and I trusted my partner then I don't see why it would be a problem.
I couldn't cope with Mr LL sleeping with other people and as for me I just wouldn't. I still want him and nobody else. Has been like that almost since the day we met!!
