weighing on my mind very heavily for the past 8 years.. Yes I said 8 years....
The reason I'm starting to date again is because for the past 8 years I've been in love with the same man. It all started when I was 17 years old and my first boyfriend, the first guy I ever truely loved broke my heart. I had a neighbor. My neighbor was 27. We started hanging out, he gave me advice, explained to me that thigns like this happen and while it sucks there will always be someone better.
As time went on my neighbor, we'll call him Joe, and I became closer and closer and a certain chemisty that neither of us could deny ensued. We fought it until finally one night I was sitting out on his back deck late into the night with him and he kissed me. My heart skipped a beat, it was the most passionate, sensual, gentle amazing kiss I had ever felt. That was it, I was hooked. Joe and I fooled around, and saw eachother for quite sometime after that until he moved away. We tried to keep in touch but things tapered off. When he finally came back I was in a great relationship with a great guy who pulled me out of a very dark place in my life... Then Joe came back. I told him about this wonderful man who rescued me from myself and he was happy for me. Because I was in this relationship I failed to tell Joe how I felt about him. Then Joe got his roommate pregnant and they got married.
Not too long down the line me and that great guy went our separate ways and I got the courage to tell Joe how I really felt about him. The only problem was that it was too late. Joe was already married to this wreched woman who treated him like dirt.
So now, for the past 5 years (almost as long as Joe has been married) we've been carrying on a relationship behind his wife's back. He's unhappy with her but does not make false promises that he has plans of leaving her. I'm ok with this for the most part except I don't get the time I'd like to have with him. I don't get to do normal couple stuff with him like go out on dates, spend the night together, take him to my friend's weddings. I have to spend time with him outside of our hometown for fear that someone who knows his wife will see us together and she'll find out. I want her to find out, I want her to know that he loves me, that he wants me and that she's not enough for him. She treats him like he's a doormat and I can't stand it. She takes advantage of him and I just wish I could do something about it. My heart is completely invested in him and that's why I can't seem to find someone else who I can be with.
Bottom line, I have no idea what to do.. Any suggestions??????

You really should think about this....... If he's willing to cheat on his WIFE with you....what will he do behind YOUR back....And you don't even have the benefit of being married to him.....Hhhmmmmm.....

Couldn't have said it better...This man is NOT available....Find one who is!!!!!!!!!!
Unfair judging going on. The married dude is at fault as well. I'm sure there is more to this story. All I have to say, is that it is a very unfortunate situation that cannot be easy on her or him.
