    We are both in our mid 40’s, living togther with children from other marriages. We’ve been in a relationship for about 3 years. We met when we were both separated, my divorce went through, she never filed for divorce and her husband just died of cancer. It started as a long distance relationship, then she moved to my town for a year, then she moved away for about a year cause the husband had cancer. Then recently she moved in with me with her kids.

    She did not tell her husband she was dating me for about a year, did not tell her kids about me for six months. And thoughout the relationship I sometimes felt like the other man and a secret, eventhough I live with her and her kids.

    He just died and, of course, I cannot come to the funeral or visit her and her kids during this time. [b]She is on Facebook professing her undieing love for him and how there is a hole in her heart that can never be mended and that he was her very best friend and she was his loving wife. [/b] Plus, each day she seems to slip further away from me, not answering my calls, short in conversation, etc. Plus, I do not know when she is coming back, if at all. She says she is coming back, but no date yet.

    I feel hurt because of how she is making me feel and for what she wrote on Facebook for everyone and me to see. If she truly did love him dearly, then why was she with me? If she did not mean what she wrote, then she is lying to me and others on her Facebook which makes me wonder what else is she lying about and hiding from me. What should I do?

    Ouch. 🙁

    Sounds like she was always hoping they’d get back together.

    I’d be pretty upset too, but, I also wouldn’t have accepted being put in the closet all those years.

    If you live with her and her kids presently though, why can you not be a comfort to them? Doesn’t her family know about you?

    Her side of the family knows about me, but the husband’s side does not know me. I cannot be of comfort to them because that’s what she wants. She wants to look like the greiving widow, not the separated wife whose living with another man. I just feel really scummy and like I did something wrong. I did not, she is the one who did not go about this the correct way and know I have to pay for it.

    [b]Megishere[/b] asked some good questions. 🙂

    The problem is that you’ve been living with a married woman[i]. She never divorced her husband, even though she had plenty of opportunity to. [/i]This was her choice — and your choice to date and move in with a married woman. 😕 It’s not timely for you to start complaining [b]now[/b] that she kept you on the down low for so long with her family and friends, when you didn’t do anything about it during the three years that this was going on.

    Now that her husband has passed away her public pronouncements of her love for him are making what you probably knew and didn’t want to admit, public. Now you’re forced to face this truth — at the same time everyone else is seeing it on social media and elsewhere.

    This problem existed during your entire three year relationship, but you buried it. Now, you’re being forced to face it.

    I hope this clears up the confusion for you. Let me know how things go, and please follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
