Re: A painful decision
Nothing is impossible but life is what you make it. We are all capable of making conscientious choices that determine our destinies.
I have to point out that I ENJOY what I do. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I'm not preaching abstinence either. Sex with the same person does get a bit boring after a while but even if I did find someone else, things would be back to square one after a time so what's the point of causing unnecessary upheavals in ones life only to end up with nothing to be gained over the long term?

Re: A painful decision
U know guys. I see more intelligent people here than many other places & many with a conscience or responsibilities as u said it.
I am not "dumping" my kids & escaping from it. My priority is their well being & I know I cannot give them the time so the mother will have them. Should she not want them, I will gladly have them & my mum will be a very happy lady. Other than weekends, I can visit them as and when I can make it. The 2nd wife is very understanding, she has promised to take care of them as her own and we will also have our own. We'll be fair to all & time+love is to split between two families or I will not walk. I don't hate my current wife nor do we have squabbles. It's just that the love is non existent & the mood is grey. Can you married guys live with a woman u do not love for the rest of your life? In any case, the decision has not been made. If I survive this round, there will not be another woman to thug my heart. There may be little SYTs, flings or whatever but they will not thug the heart. |

If your priority is the children's well-being, you will want to sacrifice your own happiness in order that they can have theirs. I am sure no child wants to grow up in a family where the parents are split apart, where they get to see mummy on weekdays and daddy on weekends. No amount of love or pampering from your so-called '2nd wife' will be able to compensate for what they will miss from their biological mother. If your priority is really your children's well-being, you will endure a life stuck with a woman whom you do not hate nor love so that your children can grow up in a proper family unit with the combined attention of both father and mother. No dude, your priority is your own well-being. By calling the other woman your 2nd wife, it seems that you have already decided on what you want, and what you want is more in line with your own happiness. How does a divorce contribute towards the children's well-being? By letting the mother have custody, care and control over the children with restricted rights of access to you mean that you are providing for the children's well-being? Think of it this way, the mother will have to take time to prepare the children for school during weekdays, attending to their homework after class, ensuring that they have proper dinner on their table everyday even though she may be working in the day as well. She would probably have to be the bad guy in disciplining the children when they are misbehaving. On weekends, what would you do? Take them out for outings, picnics, etc, no need to supervise their homework, letting them sleep late because it is the weekend, giving them more leeway when they are misbehaving because it is the weekend and children are entitled to have fun during the weekend. I think you are actually getting a better deal. Lets face it, your thoughts and plans are actually very selfish. If you accept that and are prepared to face the consequences, I have nothing further to add. However, if you think you are trying your best to cater to the well-being of your children, you are solely mistaken my friend.

I used to do what u do, like going home late or so & I rented another apt with the other one. U're in the "escaping mode" now. So, your wife knows about this? Then, it's about time to face it my friend. Sit down without the kid & talk about it. Is your 2nd one worth it? Will you have a future with her? I'm actually letting go of my love for the sake of the kids but the 2nd one is trying very very hard to win me back. I'm in good terms with her family & her mum is like my friend while I also like her city & will invest there later. PM me if u like & we can kopi. It's good to talk, I realised that a few other friends are facing or faced almost the same situations like us. Some divorced & are actually leading a happier life now. In fact, one even became better friend with the ex-wife. Again, it voices down to different family situations. The issue is don't drag this too long or you're wasting everyone's time & it's a painful one. Now, if only we can all be a good "manager" like Bro DYBJ |

I digress... I need to ask you this. Have you ever loved your wife. You dont have to answer now or post this. Bring yourself back to the time when you made the decision to marry her, your courting days, the first time you made love like rabbits, the "stolen" moments away from her parents :-) I ask this because I recall me telling my wife (when I was involved with this other woman) that I did not love her anymore and I also told my mum that too. At that time, the flaming passion of a new fire burned so bright that everything else dimmed ...and lust certainly masqueraded itself as love. I too cannot live with a person I do not love...I used this very phrase itself ...and I believed it too...at the time. And no one can say that I was lying because that was truly how I felt deep inside. I dont know how much your wife loves you or what obstacles stand in your path to make your marriage work. Perhaps there is just too much "noise" that is getting in the way of reconciliation. It is difficult to internalize what experts say about finding that loving feeling again (with your wife) , but when you do, you know that it swells from within and not something that is purely cognitive or intellectual. I agree, you cant force it, it cant be manufactured or contrived...just wont work. I liken it to learning to ride a bicycle...you hear, you see, you try but you dont really know what it is until everything clicks into place...and then you have the feeling and know what riding is. It took me a long time to revive that and part of my journey required me to OD on cheonging to truly understand (not at the intellectual level) and internalize the conviction that lust and love are two different things entirely. I was also lucky that my wife "waited" for me to come to my senses and she too grew stronger and discovered other aspects of her character and became more independent. That's why in my earlier post I refer to your situation as part of a "journey". I just wish you all the best and also thank you for sharing your circumstances with us. I guess this has been therapy not only for you but us posters as well. Oh btw I agree with Sammyboyfor on another thing...that time on the hands leads to nothing but trouble. Getting a new hobby is a great suggestion. Ever tried drifting a Porsche and getting good at it :-) Well now is as good a time to find out as any....tip get a manual with lsd though and a WIDE OPEN SPACE ...heheh Last edited by petrolheadsg; 11-11-2008 at 06:38 PM. |

Re: A painful decision
Hard to accept but nevertheless true: This girl ""loves you because you have the financial means, not because you are a nice and caring person.
This girl does not love you if you are nice and caring but old and penniless. Understand now? But the harsh reality is always difficult to accept. |
