Help!
Hi I need some advice. I am male and have been married for the past 25 years. I have two teenagers. My problem - My wife is Physically and Verbally abusive to me and has been for many years. We have been going to marriage counseling for the past 6 years. Her idea of going to counseling is that she should tell the counselor what I do wrong and the counselor should tell me how to correct my behavior. She regularly starts augments for no apparent reason. The fights are in front of the children. She is always right and I always wrong, in her mind. No marriage problem is just one person's fault and I had hoped that she would see that but she has not. She is on anti-depressants and has tendencies of a maniac depressant. She does not work and stays home lying on the bed, watching TV, or playing computer games. I should have left her a long time ago however I will not leave my children, they are way too important to me and I will sacrifice anything for them. I care for my wife so very much but she will not seek help. I was raised in a home where my father abused my mother. For that reason for a long time I just put up with what happened to me when my wife beat me. I plan on divorcing her once the children are adults and our broken relationship does not so badly affect their daily life. Now to add to the confusion in my mind. I met a woman about a year ago whom I have very deep feelings for she also has the same feelings for me. We are so right for each other! We get together 1 or 2 times per week just to talk and enjoy each other's company. Our relationship has been a mutual bonding of the soul, mind, and has been an emotional fulfillment unlike anything that I have ever experienced before. She is also in an unfulfilled marriage and will divorce him when her teen is older for reasons very different than mine. Our problem is that we are sexually attracted to each other and we both want to go to the next level and start a sexual relationship. I am fearful that such a change could hurt our friendship. We live in the same community, we have a business relationship, and we are prominent people in our community. See asked me today if I would consider having an affair with her. I am confused with what is going on. I never planned on getting so involved in anyone at this time. I feel that she is my true soul mate. I am worried that this relationship will make the problems at home worse. And I am fearful that I will hurt my children if it were found out my true feelings for this wonderful person who I have fallen deeply in-love-with. Am I wrong for these feelings of love? Was I wrong for developing this relationship? So many questions and I am so confused with what the right answers are! I never wanted to do anything that would hurt my family!
