Marriage in Trouble?

I have been married for 3 years now. I have one child. Husband and I grew apart. We were so focused on making a living and raising our child we forgot about each other. We separated one time but he promised to change and not work so much. About a year ago he started treating me as if I cleaned the house, took care of the kid, and washed his clothes. He grew very distant. I think it was because of the stress from bills. He is a great guy and he only wanted the best for us. However he was cold and he never wanted to spend time doing things with just the two of us. I had numerous talks with him about it. Then one day I was tired of talking and figured this would just be how the rest of my life would be.

The past 8 months I have developed a close friendship relationship with a guy from work that is also married and has one child. I decided to start staying home because I felt it would maybe help my relationship. I missed the co worker dearly and started talking with him again. He felt the same way and says he wants to be with me.

He has now left his wife and is filing for a divorce. He told me he would be there for me what ever I decide. We have only had a friendship relationship but I am sure it could be more. His marriage has been very rocky. His wife cheated on him and they don't get alone. They live two separate lives. He said I opened his eyes to see there are people that are out there with the same things in common.

I am now wondering if I should leave my husband and try this new relationship. I was unhappy before he came into my life and I have to say him and my child is what makes my life happy now.

I think you don't mean for these things to happen but they do.

I am very confused on should I stay or should I go. Help>?

  1. please do not start a relationship with anyone right now.  you need to work on your marriage.  you and your husband need to communicate more and spend time together.  the grass in not always greener on the other side.  if you decide to leave your marriage it has to be because you tried your best and things didn't work out.  not for  another man who left his wife.  

    you really need on work on your marriage first and u need a clear head.  do not let the man convince otherwise.  his marriage has nothing to do with u.  if he is unhappy he needs to be with himself first.  can't jump from relationship to relationship.  you need to grow as a person.

    good luck


  2. I tried this and the grass is not greener on the other side.  If you have any hopes of saving your marriage cut off your communication with this man and work it out.  If you don't you will have alot more to lose than just your husband.  You will also lose 1/2 of your time with your child too (or possibly less).  You will not have that option of staying at home.  Life is alot different than you think it will be.  Concentrate on your marriage not what could be.  good luck.
