Love Not A Lesson

Hello All!

First, I want to start off by saying that it feels really good to find a place to go where topics and life experiences like this aren’t judged because of the dynamic it involves. I’m the OW to a married man and we are in a committed relationship. If you would have asked me a year ago, there isn’t a scenario possible where I would have supported much less found myself in this kind of relationship. Today, I’m grateful for finding love, true love, even if it means temporarily being in this situation which is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I look forward to navigating this relationship with people who are going through the same pain, love, and situation as myself.

Hi and welcome!

There isn’t a relationship on earth that isn’t filled with pain and love (unless it was loveless to begin with) and if you recognize that then you can get through any kind of relationship, it’s just learning how to navigate through the norms that society has forced us into.

I’m curious as to why you’ve said your situation is temporary. Looking forward to hearing more about your story.
No regrets
