I’ve been caught up in an affair for the past three years.
When we first got together, we were both married.

I was stuck in an abusive marriage back then — broken, scared, desperate for a way out. And eventually, I found the strength to leave. But he didn’t. He’s still married.

I love him. More than I ever thought it was possible to love someone.
He says he loves me too… but he also says he can’t hurt his wife, that sometimes we just don’t get to have the things we want most.

So here I am — living in this strange, painful place between hope and heartbreak.
I know what we’re doing is wrong. I know all the reasons why it can never truly be. But my heart refuses to listen. He is the most incredible man I’ve ever known.

I don’t know how to keep living like this, loving someone I can never fully have.
But the truth is… I don’t know how to let him go either.
