There's always the Bobbit solution
However ........ stoning is gender neutral, sexual orientation neutral age neuteral - so it fits all and any who stray from the primrose path of fidelity.
Ah well stone me if you like (but maybe I'll succeed in throwing a few backfrom whence they came):p:D0 -
My honest answer, OP? Walk away for good...I was in that situation many years ago, when the guy I had been dating for a month dropped the bomb that he was living with his long-suffering girlfriend . By then I was head over heels and although we had the agreemnt that if I felt it wasn't working for me, we wodul stop seeign each other, it just didn;t work that way. After six months and many, mnay tears, it all ended and pretty badly. It was a traumatic experience and like you, OP, I know at some point he was mad about me and that's when I let my guard and fell for it. When I started to get tired of always being waiting and waiting, and starting making demands the fall out was monumental and the pain indescribable. Time and time againm he gave me the reasons why he couldn't leave her but the reality was the he didn't want to and he didn't have to. BUt as awful aand messy as it was (I think she found out), I consideredn myslef lucky to have escaped and the relief was amazing.
You are already asking yourself questions: please, treat yourself with respect and make room for good stuff and people in your life...this can not end up well, not for you, I don't think. If you leave and he follows, then you have your answer... but I wodulnt; be holding my breath.0 -
