This post was triggered by an earlier post I saw where the poster was having long talks with his friend's wife. I've been in a similar situation. I changed location and had to be separate from my family due to work. I was lonely and needed a friend. I talk with my husband regularly, but his interests are not my interests, so I find that besides household and family matters, we have little else to talk about. I found myself talking to this guy I met when I went for an official assignment. We started as friends, but we became attracted to each other. So when I travelled back to base, we started these long conversations. We're both born-again Christians and both married, so we kept to certain boundaries. I enjoyed conversing with him more than with my spouse. I became consumed with thoughts of him. He also expressed his desire and attraction towards me, but we laughed over it as jokes.

My husband noticed the conversations when I travelled home and became suspicious. He forbade me from speaking with him. He had never seen me have long talks with any friend, talkless of a male one. I informed my friend and he said no problem, he would wait till I travelled back to work base before he would continue. He later travelled to meet his family and conversation became scanty. I realized how much I was addicted to him when I couldn't talk to him as much as I wanted. He returned to base and we continued like before.

I started praying for God to help me overcome these desires. Maybe he also felt the same, because for some reasons I don't know, he reduced the frequency of calls and chats drastically. I didn't try to find out why, just thought the time-off would help me clear out immoral thoughts. But I got hurt when he acted indifferent on one occasion when I felt he should have shown more care. I asked him about it and he pretended not to understand what I was talking about. I read the writing on the wall, and decided to play along. So I said "bye. It was nice meeting you." Part of me was grateful it ended, another part was wishing I could still be with him. I love my husband and children, I cannot come and scatter my home.

He thought I was joking. I was no longer responding to his chats, and when I did, only with monosyllables. He became hurt and accused me of going silent on him. I told him he started it. He wanted me to become defensive, but the Holy Spirit whispered "keep quiet ". So I allowed him rant without saying anything. I thank God I didn't, because I would have exposed how deep my true feelings for him were.

Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine". My feelings have healed and I thank God we didn't continue because I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from an affair if we had eventually had any physical contact. I can categorically say I'm no longer in love with him.

I penned these down for those struggling with similar situations. Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings.

The summary of it all is that, you would have slept with the guy if he didn't develop that attitude towards you.
You didn't listen to any holy spirit. Don't lie. Your feelings for him was so strong that if u were in courtship or he wasn't married, you would have eloped with him to satisfy your devilish desires.

You are making it seem it's your husbands fault u two don't have the same interest.

You gave unholy access to married man into your life as a married woman and turn around to blame your innocent husband.

Madam, you have not healed. It's just a matter of time. If u meet that guy again and he presses the right button, believe me, u will Bleep him.

You had no shame to be having long conversations with a married man under your husband's roof and u dare come here to advice people.

You are just cheap just like many other married hoes out there who have no business being in any marriage.

The only person that stopped you from fucking that guy is the guy himself but you twist the story to make it seem like u restrained yourself.

I pray never to meet your type because una plenty.

I wish your husband will be wise enough to see what he calls a wife.

If Rafiu the truck pusher is able to have good conversation with you, madam you will Bleep that his uncircumcised dick.

You claim to have the holy spirit, but u lack self control. You don't know when to draw the line.
Everything is about u. You wanted him to have conversations that interests you. Did u care to know what interests him?

This is the kind of selfishness we see among all these useless woke girls of today.
That's why we have that one they call Iyaebe or whatever always vomiting rubbish here.

I only pray for your husband. And I advice him to do a DNA test on those kids.

In pure undiluted scriptural standard, you've committed adultery with him already. Just so you know that.

But rather more important is your very last paragraph of advice to other women who might be going through similar temptation as you. Here, let me quote you:

"Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings"


Now, here's the irony buried in the paragraph before last:

"Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine"

While you still keep the door ajar for prospective adultery with this same idiot, (most likely when you and hubby have a fight) you are advising other women going through similar challenge to cut off chats totally. You know the intention of this iniquitous pig and your own abominable longings and vulnerability towards him yet you still entertain his obviously probing "how are you's." You're still an unrepentant adulterer and you need counseling and deliverance before entertaining the idea of climbing that virtual pulpit you just did by preaching this sermon. And may GOD help your husband who's ignorant enough to permit that stupid work of yours that has no respect for matrimony to post you outside his location.


Get over it already with ur locked mind!, Enjoy whatever makes you happy at the moment for that's ur only gain here, so long as she does not get a child from the affair

Acidosis:
I don't have a problem with keeping friends of the opposite sex as a married man or woman. The distance between you and your spouse and the excuse of incompatibility are the main issues here and not your friendship with the opposite sex. I see this a lot and wonder why people just love to deceive themselves.

Cheating is a deliberate act. Friendship or no friendship, you're never always going to be with people of the same sex. You will meet fine men and women, you will meet good public speakers, great writers, excellent political analysts. Okay fine, they speak better than your spouse, so what next?? Open your pyant??

You cannot tell people to cut off communication with the opposite sex because you're now married, please. That's a sign of irresponsibility, evidence of total lack of self-control and a red flag.

The excuses you sort of gave yourself are the issues. Establish the kind of communication you have with those friends with your spouse and you'll be fine. If you don't have sensible things in common to talk about, simply gossip and make stup!d jokes. Life is not that serious.




i think her excuses her valid cos even with the best form of compatability matched something will always be missing ...
"flow" & "connection" between two people can not be forced cos they depend highly on "personality". Even if the hubby tries to crack her up and spice up things it only a matter of time before he goes back to default.
I think the best solution here is what OP as done step by step and i hope she stays contented instead of looking for that man in her hubby.

Well, I suppose you're a Christian too. You should be conversant with Jesus' words when he told the crowd that came to stone the adulterous woman that "he that is without sin should cast the first stone." I'm no angel, I admit my faults. However, those lustful feelings I talked about are much more common than you think. You cannot prevent a bird from perching, but you can prevent it from building a nest on your head. Even you are not exempted if you are honest enough to admit it, except you're a eunuch.

Also, I have received forgiveness and there is now no condemnation for me in Christ Jesus. Therefore, I refuse to allow your "stone" to hit me. And I hope you have removed the log in your own eyes before coming to remove the speck in mine.

All the same, I kept his contact because we still work for the same organisation, and communication lines should be kept open.

Shalom

You guys are only trying to vilify this woman over nothing. Does being a born again ever take off the sinful flesh away from individuals? Is the bible preaching that once you think about fleshly things you are a sinner or the ability to resist sin and get mastery over it? I guess you are not verse about the scriptural understanding, principle, and motive..... Stop accusing her! She has done wonderfully well.

However, will you say same if it happens to be from a man?

Nah.

From the story, the man withdrew from her because of her husband, which gave her time to recover her feelings and stabilise herself.

A worldly man would have intensified his caring and attention because he knows it's working, and also get both of them alone as often and try to seduce her at any opportunity.

And given her emotional state, na bed go end am.

Her "friendship" with the guy led to that, there are some qualities which you would not see or notice when you are not closer, such qualities would be as if it's not exist if you are not aware of them in a particular man or woman (Yoruba adage, if u dnt hear particular story you may not be bitter).

If she wasn't closer to her colleagues more than necessary, (after all, not only that man in that office), she wouldn't have discovered the quality in him, After discovery of such quality, nature would must definitely make that quality fascinating and render her vulnerable to go beyond her boundary


So for how long will she continue to run away from her vulnerabilities? cheesy That's not an healthy lifestyle for anyone. In fact, failure thrives better in the midst of fear. Sometimes, one doesn't even have to get close to people to lust after them, yunno?

Why not condition her mind such that certain things wouldn't matter to her?

I still maintain my position that friendship is not the issue.

Though you sound well but you're not empathetic! She was bold enough to show her weakness. She made positive move and progress with her interaction with him. Responding to his chats in monosyllables is not that bad na so long she keep that distance emotionally and physically!

Let me try to break it down for you somehow! undecided

I didn't say mental capacity but instead mental discipline. It doesn't matter who you run into, whether playboy or whatever you tag such individuals, a mentally disciplined individual, would know to prioritize the friendship over anything else, even lustful ideas. undecided

I have myself seen this in many around me. There are friendships between individuals running over 30 - 40 years, some having met back in kindergarten but now married. How do they keep their friendships going strong even while married to other spouses? They prioritize their friendship over things like lust and the lot that will devastate their lives. I have even has one quoting the golden rule as reason why he would never cross that line because he loves his friends too much to want to see them hurt by such meaningless things.. undecided

Avoidance is not a mature way of dealing with issues such as these. We live in a world where men and women work in close proximity with each other on a daily basis so it's sane to expect a relationship to form between them. The kind that will highly depends on mental maturity on the part of the individuals. undecided

Expecting a married individual to avoid people of opposite sex makes as much sense as sticking a lollipop in one's eyes. undecided

Na lie joor. You had sex with him or still having sex with him. The truth is humans are not designed to be with one sexual partner (both males and females). Let's stop the hypocrisy

So for how long will she continue to run away from your vulnerabilities? cheesy Sometimes, one doesn't even have to get close to people to lust after them, yunno?

Why not condition her mind such that certain things wouldn't matter to her?

I still maintain my position that friendship is not the issue.


If she stops having male bestie, her weakness will remain inactive, no advice or play that opposite sex wants to give u that ur own gender can't offer, let stop pretending and latter blame devil.

Well, I suppose you're a Christian too. You should be conversant with Jesus' words when he told the crowd that came to stone the adulterous woman that "he that is without sin should cast the first stone." I'm no angel, I admit my faults. However, those lustful feelings I talked about are much more common than you think. You cannot prevent a bird from perching, but you can prevent it from building a nest on your head. Even you are not exempted if you are honest enough to admit it, except you're a eunuch.

Also, I have received forgiveness and there is now no condemnation for me in Christ Jesus. Therefore, I refuse to allow your "stone" to hit me. And I hope you have removed the log in your own eyes before coming to remove the speck in mine.

All the same, I kept his contact because we still work for the same organisation, and communication lines should be kept open.

Shalom

Best comment so far.

postmann:
In pure undiluted scriptural standard, you've committed adultery with him already. Just so you know that.

But rather more important is your very last paragraph of advice to other women who might be going through similar temptation as you. Here, let me quote you:

"Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings"


Now, here's the irony buried in the paragraph before last:

"Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine"

While you still keep the door ajar for prospective adultery with this same idiot, (most likely when you and hubby have a fight) you are advising other women going through similar challenge to cut off chats totally. You know the intention of this iniquitous pig and your own abominable longings and vulnerability towards him yet you still entertain his obviously probing "how are you's." You're still an unrepentant adulterer and you need counseling and deliverance before entertaining the idea of climbing that virtual pulpit you just did by preaching this sermon. And may GOD help your husband who's ignorant enough to permit that stupid work of yours that has no respect for matrimony to post you outside his location.

Thank God for your life and thank you for sharing your experience.

It’s possible for married couples to be talking a lot but not really be intimate. They feel like they are communicating but all they really talk about is house stuff, children’s clothes , school fees and extended family responsibilities.

Sometimes you need to be deliberate. Let your husband know what you want and get Him to agree. Have date nights. Play indoor games, go to interesting places, and make love regularly and excitingly.

Everything will be allright.
