I recently reconnected with an old friend and the chemistry

was still there and it quickly progressed to the I Love You stage.(I am Married and we are seperating after Christmas, we have kids.) Now he is unsure of his feelings and has left me heartbroken. Thank Goodness we haven’t slept together. I guess that is one good thing. Should I just let him go? Do I ask for answers? Do I try to work it out?

They didn’t sleep with the OTHER person.

Just let him go. The last thing you need is someone else that’s going to be wrong for you. If it was meant to be it’ll work itself out over time.

Maybe he realizes that as long as you are still married you won’t be totally his? Give him his space. Sign your divorce papers. Then look him up and see if his feelings for you change.

He backed out because he didn’t want to be the reason you broke up your home. Let him go.

One other thing: if you and your husband can work it out to be civil through Christmas, why can’t you work out other things?

So many women today think divorce is the answer. Women initiate 67 percent of divorces in the US. After the divorce, they experience a dramatic–and I do mean dramatic–drop in their standard of living. So do the kids. By the way, the effects of divorce stay with the kids long into their adult life.

You need to resolve your present relationship one way or the other before moving on to another one.

P.S. I was in that guy’s position once. I didn’t want to be the reason a woman didn’t get back together with her husband. She also had a child.

Lady, please think really hard before you do this. If you haven’t exhausted every means to save your marriage, you will be plagued by guilt for the rest of your life.

Yep. Your kids will definitely hate you when they find out you had an affair while married to their father. They may not hate you now, but they will when they are adults.

Again, think a long, long time before getting a divorce. Separations, by the way, only accelerate the divorce process in most cases. You can’t solve problems when you’re not there to talk to your spouse.

You are, by the way, considering a divorce in the worst economic times since the Great Depression. I am predicting Great Depression II. Not the best time to split up your family.
