Re: Second Marriage?
^Who knows? That might be a better fate.
Win-win? How could you EVER have thought it would be a win-win situation when EVERY single person involved in this equation (you, your wife, your son, your girlfriend) is going to lose something?
Maybe you think that financial support and the security of “still” having the title of “Mrs.” is enough for your wife…or that it’s enough of a win. But, like I said before, it’s the emotional consequences that will be the toughest to deal with…YES even for the wife who keeps it bottled up and puts on a fake smile…and YES even for the wife who is expressive of her emotions.
And then a tiny part of me wonders if maybe you should just go ahead with this…and that way…if your first wife has been feeling trapped, she just migt wake up and realize that she’s worth so much more. And in that case…if she were to split from you…I wonder how you’d respond. I’m not challenging you…I’m just curious.
