I am 32 years old. I dated a guy for four years. He took care of me financially. I know he loves me and I love him with everything I’ve got but just last month February, he married his ex-girlfriend. He did all the preparations without my knowledge. It was two weeks to the wedding that I heard he was getting married which he did not deny. At that time, we were still dating.
It is two weeks now that he got married but he still comes to my house and still takes care of everything just like before. He still tells me he loves me but he did not know how the whole thing happened. He said that I should give him time so that he can leave the lady for me.
I love him so much I don’t have the courage to stop him from coming to my house. I feel like seeing him everyday so I’m planning to leave my state to another state to start a new life because I know it won’t be easy for him to quit that marriage. Please I need advice.

March 22, 2015 at 1:55 pmSweetheart, he hates you very much
he has a life with his wife but wants to prevent you from being found.
He was sent by the devil, even if he doesn’t know it. You must gather every strength you have and fight for your destiny.
God has a good, terrific, honest and faithful man who is looking for you. He’s handsome, god fearing and has a great purpose in God.
He’s looking for you. one problem is that he won’t find you if you are too busy being that wicked man’s mistress.
Yes he is wicked, he is a wicked soul to be cheating on his wife and trying to destroy your destiny.
Receive strength and fight for your destiny. God will help you.

March 22, 2015 at 3:17 pmAt 32, you are a loser already. One needs to be blunt with you. He has not only succeded to waste 4years of your life but now u want him to completely wreck the remaining years of your life. I know you are psychologically unfit to reason right, u need your your family to talk sense in to your brain to act wisely and promptly. Leaving town is giving him access to completely destroy you. He now has a family, Move away from where he can access you, change your phone number so that you wil not see him n can give you chance to think rightly. Erase his memory off, gather all the strength to send him away. He hates you, you deserve the best. Time waits for no one

March 22, 2015 at 3:31 pmYou are simply his biggest fool. Tell him to stop coming around you. Unless you are only enjoying the tips he gives you. Men are heartless. move on!

March 22, 2015 at 4:00 pmLadies, when we depend on MEN to ake care of all our need, we a liabilities to them. Even when they do not say it, they are 99.9% not happy with the idea.
The man saw you like someone who needed help financially and He took care of you. No man wants to marry a woman who can take care of themselves. In other words, he saw you like a dependent/liability.
Women should get at least a little empowerment. A job, a trade or even a training. When the man sees you are doing something, he will respect you.
Please take heart and move on. If he leaves the lady and make up with you, be sure he would leave you too at some stage. Good luck with everything.
Cheers, MJ

March 22, 2015 at 6:34 pmThat’s unfortunate , the fact is that , most women choose to date the bad guys (the cheaters) just because of money and other material things and abandon and reject the good guys , when the relationship becomes a disaster , who’s to blame ?

March 22, 2015 at 6:58 pmIts bad enough that you spent four years of your life in an undefined relationship. I did that my self .but trust me honey holding on will only ruin you more. Move on and don’t believe his sweet lies. Men are smooth talkers they can say any thing just to have their way. Be wise. A fool at 30 is a fool for ever. Courage

March 22, 2015 at 9:39 pmThat man should not even be given any chance to explain his pretence and false story of not loving his wife, and girl to be candid he never loved you, may be he enjoys the sex but for love i doubt, he still takes care of you because he’s feeling guilty and still want to continue having you. don’t be a fool to even wait for him to leave his wife unless you are a second best. move on and get busy to take care of yourself, get a job or get into business to earn, it’s only greed that would still keep you in that relationship. if you are well behaved a better person would locate you. as for that loser good ridance to bad nonsence.

March 23, 2015 at 1:05 pmmy dear dis is rubbish, u don’t need anyone to tell u he is a useless and irresponsible guy. if he truly loves u he wouldn’t av married his ex. my dear all he wants from u is sex nothing more, he will never leave his legally married wife for u.so stop day dreaming and move on.
Angie
March 23, 2015 at 3:19 pmMy dear in all honesty… Its easier said than done. I feel your pain and I can’t imagine the emotional roller coaster you must be going through but now is the time to walk away. Look in the mirror and remind yourself of your worth as an individual, a sister,aunt and some day soon;a mother. You’re giving this man the power to block your destiny. Well, my sister that ends today. If you must relocate, then do it. But you sever all ties to allow your chosen one come with ease.

Uba Ebele
March 28, 2015 at 12:51 pmIts so easy to stand back and give advice.I understand how you feel because I have been through a similar situation.
You are lucky he even bothered to offer an explanation,in my own case he stopped taking my calls.It was a family friend of his that told me he had married someone else and the girl was already pregnant.It was just 3wks after I saw him (in which he kept pleading with me to give him some more time that we would settle down soon,he just needed to get a job)because we stay in different cities. I was a post graduate student in the same school with him in the city he lives in.
Didn’t believe it till I saw the pictures on Fb.Kept blaming myself for wasting four good years of my life.I just became lost and withdrawn.I quit school because I could not bear to run into him or be reminded of the past.
It took an encounter with a friend at work to make me retrace my steps. He said “thank God it ended like this.Do you have any idea what God saved you from?Wipe your tears,get closer to God and move on with your life.Be still and see what God can do.
I must confess it was very difficult but time heals everything.I have even gone back to that same school ran from to finish up and get my masters degree.
So my dear,your case is not different.Accept the truth just as it is.Please try and get something doing to keep body and soul together.Let this be a lesson for you to depend on yourself and God for your needs.You don’t have to run.Put your feet down and end it with him and mean it.Get close to God and be lost in Him if you can.You will be surprised at the kind of man He already has waiting and searching for you.It is well with you.God bless you.

April 13, 2015 at 3:04 pmThis is not cool!
Well, first where there aspects of your relationship that were pushed aside and tagged ‘for peace to rain’. False refuge is the major reason why things seem to just come up in relationship, as though they had not been there before. I’m sure you saw signs that something was brooding under your nose. But its ok, now the deed has been done. As hard as this may. sound, the best you can do right now is move on. He will never leave his wife for you. And you will hurt yourself the more sticking to him. Change locations if you can. You’ll heal with time.
