I’ve been married for six years, but before that, I dated my wife for six years. During our relationship, I met another woman, and we fell deeply in love. She became my best friend, and I was torn between her and my wife. Despite this, I proposed to the other woman, but she declined. Shortly after, I asked my wife to marry me, and she accepted. I almost called off the wedding a day before my engagement due to my unresolved feelings for my ex. Now, I am married with a four-year-old son. While I provide well for my family, my wife feels neglected, and I haven’t been emotionally invested in our marriage from the start.
Four months after my marriage, my ex and I chose to block each other everywhere, even on social media. To the point where every one of our mutual friends also tried to help us to keep that promise of not communicating with each other. My wife and I stopped being intimate early last year until date, while we still sleep on the same bed. In early 2024, I reconnected with my ex. The feelings between us are as strong as ever, and we continue to talk frequently. My ex has expressed that she was hurt by my previous decisions and avoids seeing me in person, but our conversations remain constant.
I still love her, and she feels the same way about me. I’m uncertain whether to seek a divorce and pursue a relationship with my ex while continuing to support my family financially. I struggle with why I can’t move on from this one person after so many years. I would appreciate your advice on how to proceed.
