I am separated from my wife. The painful truth is that I knew that I wasn’t in love with her for several years of our marriage- may never have really loved her- but was afraid to tell her out of fear that I would hurt her.
When we became separated, it was ostensibly a mutual agreement. I moved on really quickly, and the separation only solidified the feelings I had that our relationship would never work out.
I have met someone else, and have been seeing her for almost two of the three months I’ve been separated. Unfortunately, I found out that my wife is still in love with me. She’s really depressed and doesn’t seem at all to be moving on with her life.
I don’t feel guilty about my new relationship, but I’m afraid of hurting my [soon-to-be ex] wife. The girl that I’m with now is completely enamored with me, but I’m afraid I’ll hurt her too.
