Default My boyfriend went back to his ex-wife

I met a guy online and we dated had an for a while. We visited back and forth and finally decided that since he had children, and a good job, I would move to his State so we could continue dating.

I moved, stayed with his friends while looking for work, and then found a job. He introduced me to friends, children and family. He told them all that he was lucky to have found an Angel. He told me I was the most beautiful woman he'd ever met and couldn't believe that my beauty inside matched as well! We went to church together, and hung out with couple friends. His kids loved me and said they wanted me to be their second mom. We were together only 5 months at this point.

Long story longer: He was married to his ex-wife for 10 years. He said she belittled him, put his self-esteem in the toilet, treated him like a child, would not let him be his own person or make any decisions etc. They have been separated for 2 years, divored for 1.5 years of that.

She came to his home to pick up their two girls. She saw me and immediately sent my guy an email saying that she had made a big mistake; she wanted him back. He couldn't understand this because he had begged and pleaded with her to take him back and she said, "never again".

He now says he's going back to her. He also asked if I would continue to live out in his state in case it "didn't work out". How horribly humiliating! His friends said that she was jealous of me, that she knew I was prettier, more slender, and a real threat, which is why she is "wanting him back". They tried to tell him this.

I am devastated. I packed my car, had to quit my new job, and move back home. I no longer have an apartment at home, so I had to ask my young sister and her husband for a place to stay so I can get back on my feet! I am so embarassed! I've always taken care of myself and been the one people can call to lean on.

Now that I've moved, he calls once in a while saying that he's not gone back to her and he misses me. The next time we talk he says he and she went on a date but he still wants me.

I fianlly sent him a letter that said I am not his stepping stone. He STILL wants me to wait for him to try things out with her again and not give up on him. How can a person do this to another? He says I am prettier, more intellectual; that he loves taking me out in public, that he's extremely attracted to me, and that he only loves her because it's familiar.

Is there anyone here who can understand this? I broke it off but it hurts immensely! This is my life. Thank you so much for reading this. Any replies would be appreciated.

I think you did the right thing in not going back to him. truth be told, I hope him and his ex-wife get counseling and I hope they can get back together again and be happy for the sake of their children. However, if they cannot, I hope he gets counseling and gets back on track so he does not do this to another woman again.

Stay strong, don't go back. I don't think you should wait around while he "tries" to make things work with his ex-wife. that is lame. they should have sorted out the whole mess long ago. and not drag you or others into the mix. I feel badly for their children.

good luck. you are doing the right thing, just focus on getting your life back on track. I know you will very soon.

I'm so sorry about what happened. That is horrible! Nobody deserves to be treated this way! Well from what I read, I don't think you really want him back do you? Either way, I think you need to stay away from him for your own sanity. Let him figure himself out.

I'm glad at least it sounded like you know your worth. I think you should walk away from this with your chin up. Don't think you have wasted your life in this.You tried your best so there should be no regrets.His loss really

Thanks so much! I actually did tell him that I hope it works out for them if that's what he wants. It would be nice for the family unit to be together. It still does hurt so much though.

I know I'm doing the right thing. Thanks again.

Sorry if I'm blunt, but you walked right into this mess. Lesson here: do not change your life for someone you DO NOT KNOW!
You upped and moved and changed your whole life for a MAN! A man you barely knew.
Of course his ex wants him back. Women want what we can't have
You were the rebound girl. He was obviously still in love with his wife.
Be happy you didn't live longer with this man b/c a life with him would have included his ex.
Chalk it up to a hard lessoned learned.
You will get over this quicker than you think.

I am one to be totally respectful of an ex or bad situations, but I would not be offering well wishes to this guy.
Did he pay your moving expenses back or compensate you in any way?
be done with him

I think you dodged a bullet.

A girlfriend's ex once had sex with her, went to church with her, went to lunch with her. Then he dropped the bomb and told her he was moving down to Florida that evening to get back together with his ex from 10 years prior. He also asked her to leave her things at his house in the event that it didn't work out. Of course she didn't. She had too much self respect.

He married the woman, and filed for a divorce 6 months later. He came back to my friend a year later when she was with a guy I introduced her to. He still pines over her.

There are just some really short sighted and stupid people in this world. Be glad you don't have to live with their foolish choices or selfishness.

Default 3 guys went into a bar...

Three guys were having a beer in a bar in London. They were all relative newly-weds and they were talking about their wives.

The first man said he'd married a woman from India . He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day, he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from the Philippines. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw that his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man married a girl from London. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot food on the table for every meal. He said that the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything but by the third day, some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher. He still has some difficulty when he pees.
