I was just coming out of a serious 3 year relationship where we were engaged at the time of the breakup.
Not long after the break up I met my first husband we were going out for about a month when we got engaged and was married the following June, he was different and I thought he was the one for me! So I Rushed into Marriage with him, I am in love with a guy I just didn't get along with. Even though I loved my Ex at least that is what everyone else was saying at the time. So in there eyes I was settling for another since we were no longer together. They also saw that my husband wasn't right for me but I didn't listen to them, I had to prove them wrong! The marriage right off the bat was an unhappy one, though I didn't want to let anyone else know so I "acted" like everything was fine.
My husband really wanted kids and I wan't to sure at the time, but I wanted to make him happy, so we

As my marriage was ending we started to talk more, and the more we talked the more we realized that even though we were apart for the past 7 years we still loved each other. He was ready to divorce his wife to be with me, I wanted to be with him but I couldn't I felt committed to another and I had a life some where else with some one else.
So my ex asked me what he should do about his relationship, at first I didn't really know what to say or want to say anything. I was the wrong person to ask advice with my feelings for him to express my opinion on his relationship.
I told him that she was making him miserable and he was doing the same to her and that they both didn't deserve that. I told him as a friend if it was me, I would end it.
I had to try and put my feelings aside when I told him that answer, since all I want
