Everybody loves a happy ending, right?

The other day a woman posted a story about finding her "true love" on SW. As expected, people were congratulating her, wishing her well and telling her how happy they were on her behalf.

What she didn't mention is that she's already married to someone else.

Would you still be as happy for her if you knew she was married?

I don't think I'd feel anything either way actually. If she was otherwise a friend, I'd hope everything turned out as ok as it could, but just reading a stranger's story like this, I'd pass by. I have little faith in virtual love's translation to reality so I wouldn't feel much hope. As for the rest, we never know the whole story. I only know in my situation, I couldn't be dancing through true love's tulips when someone else was trusting me not to.

Wow... that's sad. I don't know how you can have something real with someone else when you are emotionally tied to your spouse. I understand the WANTING, but you have to deal with the current relationship before you move on. If the other person is there when you are available... they are. If they are not, well, would you really be able to connect with someone authentically if you are hiding a romantic relationship from your spouse? I think people should do whatever makes them happy, as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others. If you make a commitment to a person, you sever it before making another. And it would probably be a good idea to explore why the first one didn't work so that you don't make the same mistake. New love is like crack though, and people expect others to MAKE them happy. Nope.... Happiness/Satisfaction is something you have to work for yourself - and not get from outside people or sources. Can you imagine the burden? It is your job to make me happy!! I'd run from that immediately.

Jim: Last I heard she was ashamed and heartbroken and left to go be with her family in another state...she was truly remorseful about the situation and knowing that he hadn't even filed for divorce.

@newgirl...People always leave out the little details that make them look bad LOL

@cherokeepatti, I remember that woman and the man from EP. I often wonder how that ended since the breakup occured as EP was shutting down.
jim44444 · 70-79, M
I cannot make that decision without additional facts. Is she in the process of getting divorced? Is her husband OK with her finding a new love? Had her husband already abandoned her? Is her husband an abusive dickhead?
The immense range of human emotion and trauma cannot be boiled down to a twitter length sound bite. To be happy for her or to be repulsed by her requires much more information than presented here.

@BemyValentine...She's not the only one though.
Once again...husband AND kids.
They'll be dealing with the outcome too.

@BemyValentine...Actually, it's not her life when she's got a husband and kids...OR when she broadcasts her business all over social media.

@cherokeepatti...I don't remember her from EP but that doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't on there.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
I've heard something similar...a woman involved with a married man separated from his wife, he bought a rural place in another state and she worked her butt off fixing it up and making it a home for a couple years, and then they broke up and she told the rest of the story.

Lucy: Is this someone who was also on EP or just someone from here only?
newgirl · 56-60, F
I would not. Interesting that she left out that little detail.
LucyFuhr · 56-60, F
@OurUserName...At least she gets a choice. Her husband doesn't.
Qwest16 · 56-60, M
I would only be HAPPIER for her cuz she has become smart and stopped playing self-destructive games.
LucyFuhr · 56-60, F
@carpediem...For some people it doesn't take long...
Well, it's her life. I personally wouldn't do that.

No I think she's just seeking attention
SweetDreamsRubi · 31-35, F
well she just needs to leave her husband...
Radical · 31-35
No. Not really.
I understand, Lucy. But she's the one that has to deal with whatever outcome.
Oh I know, Lucy. I'm rolling my eyes how she can do and say that, really. I'm curious is she doing this for attention, shame, stupidity? Yes I feel for all involve.
