In love with a married man
Relationship Stress / by nene1215

...See more Help!!! I’m 35 will be 36 in December no kids never married but I’m in love with a married man!!!!! We just became serious the last two years but we’ve known each other over 9 years. He still lives with her but claims the marriage is like living with a roommate. He says he loves me too he does so much for me and my family and he’s a very kind man. I guess my dilemma is I’m getting older & I think I want at least one child. But I don’t want to date anyone else! I feel like if I talked to another man romantically I’d be cheating on him. It’s so hard finding someone to connect with and open up to— feel vulnerable with. which has me so afraid to date anyone else. Plus I want to be loyal to him. Am I stupid??

...See more Hi everyone 💛 I am new here 😇 and so glad I found this community. Can’t really afford therapy at this time and really just need to vent/talk to someone. Im 35 and I live at home. Main,y still here due to my parents (really my dad) not wanting me to move out. Rewind back to college my mom had an affair on my dad and since then it’s like I’ve been having to hold the pieces. My mom avoids hard topics or conversations and constantly works. I think to escape the house, but that leaves me home to console my dad to a degree. He tells me all his problems and it’s like I’m his mini wife. Nothing sexual but we hang out ALOT. Which I enjoyed as a teen/young adult but now being grown it’s starting to be annoying & overwhelming. whenever I attempt to start dating or t ll him about a new love interest or mate it’s like he gets an attitude & finds something wrong with everyone. If I go out with my friends on the weekend or after I get off work it’s a problem, he denies it but you can see the attitude or feel his mood change. it upsets me because my mom will be like “ you’re grown you can do what you like” but she won’t tell him that. Like I don’t have any back up. I was looking at houses last year and that got him upset too saying “ oh you wanna move out-why” I’m like kids eventually want to leave the nest! So now they want to give me the family house to move into but it caught fire last year (with me in it & my 3 dogs-they died in the fire 🔥). So it’s like I’m being held hostage until the remodel is complete which they have basically stopped working on. I’ll be 36 in December and just feeling like the world is closing in around me. Someone with advice or just kind words I’d love to hear
