  • Is there a difference between real love and affair love? In this video, I break down the differences I have learned about real love and affair love.
    Have you ever wondered why we ignore red flags during an affair? It's important to learn why we close our eyes to the obvious signs that are trying to warn us to get out of this relationship. Once we realize why we overlook the truth about infidelity then we can do something about it. Finding out our reasons for selective blindness is like shinning the light in a dark place.

    I wrote this in response to a video which said the unfaithful partner can love two people, their spouse and their affair partner: "When we're in love with someone, we pour all of ourselves, our love and hopes and dreams and caring and loyalty into one precious, cherished person. We are absolutely wound around them and they are the person who has the uttermost place in our minds and hearts. That cannot be done with two people. Caring about someone is not the same as being in love. We can care about two people, but not be in love with both. To be in love with both is to be in love with neither one, as our whole being cannot be devoted to or divided between more than one person." That is what love is to me.

      @@babaib3513 ~ Yes, as long as we are not emotionally unfaithful while being physically faithful. Our spouse has to have the uttermost place in our minds and hearts, elevated above all others in a very special way. That is why "You have my whole heart" and "You also have my whole heart" does not work. If an emotional affair partner has one's heart one is emotionally cheating, which is a serious problem. We can love and care for many people, but in marriage we devote our lives to one person, physically and emotionally.

    People have just become lazy in relationships I’ve been married 43 years to the same woman HAPPILY. But it takes work you can’t just get married and say ok I’ve got her/him now and put it in cruise control it takes constant effort and work but is well worth it in the long run in my opinion. You should as a man never stop dating your wife. That’s just a start

    Unfortunately it's usually a lost cause. Even if I were to send my Wayward wife this video or videos that discuss topics like this, it is like she will not watch them or completely disregard what you're saying.
    I've given up. No one should have to endure such disrespect.
    Her Affair changed her into a person that I don't recognize anymore.
    It is so scary that someone could completely change their values and morals and basically abandon their own children, betray and humiliate someone who was a true friend to them, have zero remorse or guilt,
    And yet still think that they are a good or decent person.

      @@staceychenevert yeah. I used to take it personally. I felt like maybe I wasn't enough. Like I wasn't "man" enough or something and maybe I deserved it. Or maybe the AP was a better man than me. Maybe he was better looking, or the sex was better, or maybe he was funnier. Maybe he was just better than me overall. It took a huge toll on my self-esteem bcuz I thought I did mostly everything right.
      Was I so bad that our family was worth
      Now, I'm by no means perfect, but I thought I treated her well. We didn't argue much and when we did, I thought we resolved the issue. I honestly thought we had a pretty decent marriage. At least to where if she became "unhappy" our family and marriage would at least be worth fighting for.
      But now.... And Maybe it's cope, but I see it like watching a person who got addicted to a drug who refuses to get help.
      Even though I am occasionally triggered by some of your content, it does help me gain some insight into the mentality of a cheater.
      I don't think we can reconcile, Even if she were to wake up out the "fog", there was just too much damage done. but I have to learn to get along with her since we have to co-parent.
      Your videos and content like this helps take some of the anger and bitterness out of it. I'm trying to learn to forgive. And this helps a little.

    People want to marginalize the feelings their partner had for affair partner. Fact is they are real. It is just that duty to children is higher because they are innocents and need both parents. It is sad that apparently the parents couldn't hold their relationship together better. It would have been the best for everyone including affair partner.

      The unfaithful spouse doesn't have real feelings for the side piece. What the unfaithful spouse loves is the convenience of the side piece. Feelings for the side piece are not worth leaving the marriage so the unfaithful spouse never gets a divorce and usually keeps the side piece hidden.

      @@natashadickson4819 I think that there can be feelings involved.
      But (at least for most men), his sense of duty and obligation to his family and wife often trumps those feelings.
      It's a different kind of love that he has for his family.
      Unfortunately, he may actually have some feelings for the side piece, especially if he's been seeing her for a while.
      But his ingrained sense of protection and provision for the family is on a different level that he probably won't be able explain to her.
      There are exceptions to the rule tho depending on the man.
      Some men are just cheaters bottom line.... No matter how good the wife is.
      However, Usually, if the wife is a good/decent woman to him, he probably won't leave and will cut the side piece off if she jeopardizes the stability of his family structure.
      Sick and twisted... I know, but some guys are just like that.

I cant keep waiting for something that might never come.. I cant keep doing this.. Yet he is not ready to commit.. I should go back to investing time with my husband, perhaps I can make things work out.. I dont know.. It hurst to be without the one you love and desire to be with but I cant keep waiting..

    My wife walked away after 9 years. She walked away from me our kids our family our life. Feb19th 2023. Moved right in with him starting acting like his wife and mother to his kids. Amd treat all of us including our kids as if we are all dead to her. After 4 days they are deeply in love. After 2 weeks people started telling me she was posting on fb doing this with the family that with the family. But never post anything about our kids. She's only seen them 4 times since she's been goneand all she talks about to them is about him and his kids. Has nothing to talk about with our kids about them. All the games and everything she's done the kids are at the point point we're they don't want to be around her. It's been 10 weeks today since she's been gone and she's still smashing me around town and on fb. I dont feed into any of it. I wake up take care of my kids and try to protect them find sheild them from the incoming Shenanigans. I've been able to protect them from some of it but not all of it. She's at the point where she has lost control here but is trying to do anything she can to cause some Chaos or gain some kind of control. What is going in whay do I do. How do I deal with this. Ishe blames me for everything. Everything is my fault why she's with him why she doesn't see the kids everything wrong in her life is my fault it goes on .

      I'm sorry you are going through this. It is very common behavior that your wife is experiencing. The best thing for you is to set boundaries. Focus on taking care of yourself and your kids. She is in a fog and it has changed her and how she thinks. Most people blame the spouse because they don't know that there is a root cause to an affair. There is nothing that you can do to snap her out of it. She will ha e to hit rock bottom. If you pray then do that it's the best thing. And remember it's not your fault.
