  • This video was created in response to our first video: “Married But In Love With Someone Else?” Viewers commented on the first video wondering if Dr. Beam would have different views on marriage if his lover hadn’t left him and they ended up together.

    In this video, Dr. Beam explains what really happened once his lover left, how his feelings changed, and how he changed. He went from idealizing the situation with his lover, to viewing it more realistically. Dr. Beam wants to encourage us to reach beyond feelings we have at the moment in order to make the right decision.

    It’s not that your first wife was your “soulmate”, she probably wasn’t but you spent a many number of years with this person, raised children together, built a life together. She is familiar and safe. This is why you return, especially if you are later in life. We all feel safe in the familiar even if they are not your true soulmate.

I did love him but I always knew I was not going to be with him. I accepted this crap. I can’t blame him. It was my fault too. For any women who thinks this is going to work out... you are wrong !

    This is absolutely true. We feel like we are in relationships for passion only and it does fade and come back. My spouse and I had the love of a lifetime. Trials, children, struggles and family issues fades love. It becomes sacrifice. At our lowest time someone else came into the picture. He rekindled his passion and forgot ours. He blamed me for it all. I watch our young son and see myself fading. I cannot have more children. I am left working and watching our kids without the support of my husband. There is no one to tell at night, hey did I tell you how your son did? Our son will never know security of two parents. Passion fades in and out. The truest passion is love for others, not just yourself.

Cheating is Painful once discovered and True Love does NOT HURT or have expiry dates. One CANNOT have your cake and eat it. It boils down to RESPONSIBLE CHOICES. Marriage is not child play.

    Don't cheat. You are only thinking of yourself. If your spouse is abusive then leave. But if your spouse is a good person then under no circumstance deserve to be cheated on. If you don't love them than be honest and leave. But don't leave for the cheater.., why, if they cheat with you they will cheat on you. How in the world can you ever trust a cheater? Cheating is the most narcissist thing to do. He is so right the effects are not worth it. Plus think about what your children will think of you? Your reputation. You will hurt yourself trust me. Don't do it!! and if you have leave the affair partner you can't trust someone who didn't respect your marriage or vice versa. Karma will happen.

If somewhere along the way you loose each other and it’s not working out because you grew apart, that’s a total different story. But an infatuation should never ever be a reason to leave someone. This is what I believe.... from a point of view where I’m in love with someone, who is married and who I don’t pursue since I love him so much, that I don’t want to cause the pain to him, his wife and first of all his children.

That’s why it didnt last for you. Marriage based on sex alone doesn’t last. If you don’t get along with your partner. It will never get better. The arguing in the relationship doesn’t go away. I’m happily divorced.

      The children will grow and go their way. The one who gave up his happiness will bear the guilt eternally for never feeling complete and will feel the emptiness in the heart for giving up his happiness. He who accepts the spouse knowing that he loves another person has no love for himself or for the partner, because he holds him for his children. This isn't love, that's ownership.

It hasn't been easy at all but the peace God has given me surpasses the hurt I caused myself and my family. The feelings I felt for the other person were indescrible something I'd never experienced but it also caused me much torment and tears. I've often compared it to a drug addiction it was a difficult habit to break and I experienced many relapses but I kept getting back up and praying and having an accountability person and determined to be honest about my day helped me to walk in deliverance and victory.

    When you are in an abusive marriage and your partner refuses to get help, you sometimes escape into an affair. You know that it won’t last but the affair helps give you strength to leave. It’s foolish to think that someone who is supplementing your needs as a married person, will be able to meet all of your needs once your spouse is out of the picture. It’s an illusion. But some people are miserable in a marriage for years and putting in the time until all of their children are adults, the marriage is long dead, they should not feel guilty if they meet and fall in love with the right one a little before their scheduled departure from the marriage. Divorce is a very painful decision with decades long consequences and should never be taken lightly without counsel, deep thought and resignation that it is the only alternative.

    I fell in love with a RUclipsr I sang with over 10 years ago... we've hung out for 10 months straight, almost every day. She is married, I'm married (but separated)... anyway, best times of my life, I truly loved her, and still do. But, ultimately, she was never mine, or mine to be... she is still trying to be with someone that she feels has an inability to have feelings show feelings of real love, etc. She still chose him over me, and I understand it. My heart was broken, and will take forever to mend, but one day I will find the right person for me. But my goodness, the amount of love I felt for this woman was intense, and I still love her immensely till this day. But, my hands are tied, and I refuse to be her side guy for another day.

    Never left my spouse for the lover, but what happened was the lover found another lover, my husband found out about my affair and left me. He ultimately found another. hence, I was left alone! Eventually, of course, found another, then another! Now, I’m almost 80, and so “in love” with someone 1/2 my age who I think I love more than anyone I loved. All I can say through experience is that, there is never just one person in the whole world who can make you happy; and, frankly, I’d go with the feelings of love, and deal with the consequences! Yes, to love, no to misery!

    You are so right. I was not married, but committed to a man for a number of years. He was very controlling, verbally abusive at times and figured that he had me in the palm of his hand. I got tired of his crap and the last time he walked out, I let him.
    While we were together, I met someone and the things we had in common astounded me (him, too). We were just friends but there was a lot of attraction. After he found out that A and I were not together anymore, he told me he wanted to be with me - he offered me everything I had wanted that A refused me: marriage, a home and family. He was a nice, quiet and gentle man. We were completely sexually compatible (unlike me and A).
    But after a few months, I started to have 2nd thoughts. B could be stubborn, silent and unforgiving. He coddled his adult daughter. He was pressuring me to move across country and away from my family (after 2 months). He was passive aggressive. And he didn't make me feel like I was protected - or heard. I let him down as nicely as I could but he got very angry.
    After I left him, a relative told me that A had been looking for me. He was desperate to find me. (I'd broken off all contact). I answered a letter he wrote and he called immediately, telling me he was devastated when I cut him out; that I am the love of his life and he doesn't want a life without me in it. We had nearly 10 yrs of history together and I decided to give him a 2nd chance.
    It's been 5 months and we've sat and talked (and he's listened) more in this time than in 9 yrs previously. We've had one disagreement, which we worked out. He has not been verbally abusive or controlling. We have a real relationship now and I am SO grateful I didn't leave with B (who has already replaced me - twice). I truly love A, whom I know - and who knows me - warts and all. I thank God I decided to stay.

Doesn't the other person hurt as well. When the child grows they will have their own life, do you think they need your permission to date or love who they want?

Painful Both ways. Love is not cheap. It's TOUGH.
      The kids are affected coz of the Loss of Their Personal hopes, dreams, Love and affection for the Partner abandoning them for ANOTHER lover. Each case is unique as the presenter said. Some kids ACCEPT and Move on and Others are Deeply wounded by the pain & Trauma of Disappointing Betrayal and Divorce. Parents do have a RESPONSIBILITY towards their innocent kids caught up in a live triangle. They need to be considered in resolving of the marital ISSUES. How couples handle their differences play a huge role in the lives of the kids

I felt selfish so I self sabotage the relationship. This was 2 months ago. Problem is I don't love my wife. I am married because I have a responsibility to other people like my children. So I remained marry for them and even to "save my soul" and not lead another astray. 17yrs and never before did I do this; even when i had to forgive over and over. Some think i am a fool. But I think about what if Jesus treated me like i would treat my wife. Makes me think what if Jesus left me. So I stay because every time I ask her if she will stay or leave she chose to stay.

    Dr. Beam's video was very helpful. It made me feel so much better. I've been married for 22 years, but my wife and I have no sex life whatsoever. Our kids are 17 and 18. Next year both will be in college. Four years ago I met my "Sally Sue" by accident. We got caught in a rainstorm and ran into the lobby of the closest hotel. We looked at each other and laughed. After cleaning up to the extent we could, we went to the bar for a drink. We stayed there for hours as it was still raining. Neither of us had to go back to work. I talked a lot about my wife and kids. I was twice her age. I was 56; she was 28. Today I'm 60; she's 32. When the rain stopped we went our separate ways. I thought I'd never see her again. The next day I got an email from her saying that she knew I was married, but she wanted to see me again. We had lunch the next week and as I was walking her back towards work she just stopped and kissed me on the street. The next week we ended up in a hotel room. Everything was great for the next four years. We were in love. We'd see each other once or twice a week, not always for sex. We spent a lot of time talking, going to the theatre, dining out, etc. I never looked at it as a sleazy affair. Although it started with a lot of sex, it evolved into a more well-rounded relationship. I'm very much in love with her as I write this. At this moment, the relationship is unraveling. Everything was great until 3 weeks ago. She was away for work. One night I was browsing on Facebook and ran across a series of posts that suggested she was traveling through Europe with another man (one much better looking than I am). While I never asked her to not see other men, I firmly believed that our relationship was monogamous. After all, I wasn't having sex with anyone else. I sent her a series of texts accusing her of lying to me about where she was. She wrote back a couple of hours outraged. She said that I should have known that most things on social media was fake. And this was. She was not in Europe. The man was not her lover. I jumped to incorrect conclusions. For the first time in four years our trust wasn't unbreakable. Over the next three weeks our relationship evolved into a classic pursuer-distancer one. I wanted to fix things immediately and all I did was make things worse. Finally, after sending her the second bouquet of flowers in a week, she thanked me for the flowers, but said that what she really needed was some space to think, I'm getting everything I deserve, waiting for her to call, to tell me what I expect will be that our relationship is over. I'm in a lot of pain as I type this. I feel in limbo. While I want the relationship to continue, I recognize that it would have to be different. During the four years, we were in equilibrium so to speak. We never saw the pursuer-distancer dynamic. We didn't have to. Our relationship while loving wa in an artificial setting. What that tells me is that if the relationship did move to a more permanent one if I left my family, it would be very different that the last idyllic four years. I am in a lot of pain as I type this. I feel that I'm in a "no win" situation, one of my own design. It would be hard to go back to the same idyllic situation and it's probably best for all that the relationship should end. But I still want it. Thanks for reading. I feel a little better having written this.

    As Jung said - there is no such thing as coincidence. There were so many similarities in my story. The differences are that my happy union, with my best friend (and husband) had lasted 34 years. And the woman, who lured him away (and yes, I know, it takes two) was the girl he had dumped before I would go on a date with him. Long story. But he fell in love with me at first sight and asked me to marry him within 10 days. In fact, it took 22 years before I agreed. We lived happily together and never argued about the usual big stuff. Then, his mother died and the notice I'd put in the local paper was seen by this 'bunny boiler'. Overnight, I lost my best friend/husband. Overnight he went from holding my hand and having my back - even if he did not agree with me - he was stabbing me in the back, For 5 long years, he denied and lied. But he turned from being devoted to me to hating me and wanting me dead. I knew he was struggling. I knew he was suffering from (another Jungian phrase) mirror effect. He'd sometimes get right up to my face and be so angry telling me what a liar I was and how I was an evil 'fecking' witch. Yet, this many had never sworn before. He left her because he told me he never loved her. I know he loved me. And now? It took 2 years and I am still not back completely to being me. I don't see how I ever can be. He cheated me financially too. There was nothing he would not do for her. Since lockdown, he has been my closest 'friend'. Though, nobody reading this will believe I can ever be his friend (in the way he wants me to be). This was never about sex - as he is impotent. It was about what he perceived love to be. He was wrong! But, it's too late for us now. Way too late. So, he is living in a lovely home (whilst I struggle to make ends meet). She has 3 pensions and is now retired. Awful as it is to contemplate, the only thing she had that I did not (as my husband even said at the time, I was superior to her in every way) - was money. Now, that is sad. You make some very valid points.

    I’m a betrayed. We were married for 22 years before his affair happened. It lasted six months and he proposed to his affair partner. One month after proposing he asked me if I would forgive him. We celebrated our 23rd anniversary and then one week later he had relations with her again. My question is how do I ever look at him without seeing her? It only seems to become more difficult the further into recovery.

      It helps to realize they were broken attracting broken. The affair partner is always just a symptom of something deeper in them. They eventually outgrow the need, very much a broken from childhood that needs to be healed. A lack of maturity that needs to grow.

    I'm not in favor of infidelity but You are being judgemental on the basis of your own experience. You clearly mean that once someone is married, that's the last option for rest of the life. There are bad and loveless marriages. You can't impose your experience on others..people may have their own choices and comfort zone which is beyond your experience.

      Akanksha Srivastava Infidelity is wrong and a sin against God, there’s no ifs or buts, he’s just simply stating the facts. Yes there might be loveless marriages but first a person should divorce before being unfaithful thinking and rationalizing that because my spouse is bad for me I have the right to be with somebody else.

      completely agree with you - I find it very hard to find any kind of objective help, most of these sites, books, articles, videos, all tend to tell you that you are wrong by considering leaving your marriage, for another lover or not. I believe people come and go in our lives for a reason, sometimes if you stay in a certain situation whatever it may be, you cease to grow, when you feel you are dragging someone behind you or you feel tied down or trapped in a marriage, it is not love, it is not growing and finding your purpose in life. We only have one life, chose wisely and thoughtfully but do what you decide is the best thing for everyone, even if society thinks otherwise. For instance, if you and your spouse are miserable, yelling and arguing all the time, and being nasty to the children, how is that any better than the children having to "deal" with a divorce? Children are very smart and they will understand quickly that you are staying together yet can't stand each other. I personally am the child of a couple that stayed together despite being unhappy and once I figured out that they were staying together "for the children" and bc "divorce is a sin in the catholic church", I actually was extremely impacted by this decision. It made me feel guilty for simply wanting to be free and happy.
