What you do,guys when you found out that the person whom you love most already married??Are you willing to give up or fight for your love? It happen to me when I fall inlove with a wrong man bcoz after I got pregnant I accidentally found out that he's already married and have kids.I tried to fight for our love ,but later on I give him up.I give him up not becuase I love him ,but because I feel sorry to his family who needs him more.He was crying and begging not to leave him bcoz he can give up his family just for me ,but I choose to set him free and let him go back to his family.It's very hard from the start,but later on I told myself that I did the right thing... How about you,guys?Are you willing to give up the one you love most?

It depends upon the situation. In your case, I think I'd do the same thing as you did. If it's something like she isn't married yet but she has a fiancee, then I'll still try to show her how much she means to me, though I won't hope that I'll have her heart because the situation is tough. The important thing to note is if there's still a good chance that it will work without hurting other people then don't give up at all cost. Otherwise, just find another person who deserves your love.

Hi baleleng. I'm proud of you my friend because you did the right thing. It is not easy I know but you will forget him and find someone nice to you. If he can have an affair with you having a family he is not a person that you can trust. How you can know if after a time he will not make the same with you? Having another affair while stay with you? For sure you don't want this. You do the right thing my friend. cheers.

I think you did the right thing. I was just in a similar situation. Its really hard to give up the one you love. Especially if you have a baby by them. I gave up the one I loved about 6 months ago and I still can't get over it, but I know that I did the right thing and I can do better

I admire you that you have chosen the right decision in life. It is not proper for him to make an affair knowing that he is already married and he did not disclosed to you. That i would say is already betrayal of trust already. he took advantage of your innocence and when things where deeper only you knew about his real past. For a person to love there must be trust and everything must be transparent in all aspect of his life. I think you would not even acknowledge him if you have known that he is already married. Now that you've learned a lesson in these experiences then its time for you to move on and focused your love to you child and if there is a time that love will indeed knock on your heart again do welcome it back and always be reminded of what you've learned from the past.

love - love, sweet love
Hi, baleleng! Two thumbs up to you for doing the right thing. Loving someone does not only mean keeping him even though it doesn't seem right. I believe loving also means letting go when the situation calls for it. Sometimes, we just have to sacrifice our feelings even if it hurts so much for the sake of the person we love. Love is sweeter when it is done right. Maybe the man you loved, the father of your baby, was really not meant for you. Maybe, somewhere in our tough world, there is someone better than him, someone more worthy of your love, and someone who is destined to give you the happiness you so deserve.

I will be doing what you have done baleleng. I will not be happy forvever having him and knowing that I destroy one family and made other people suffer and cause them pain. I may blame him for pretending and blame myself for trusting but I will move on and raise the kid with all the love and care!

I am not sure of that. I definitely think that people in love think differently from those who are not in their relationship. Sometimes when we are not in love, we can make a correct decision. But when we are in a relationship, we can't. I don't know what my decision will be. However I agree that you did a right thing. Kids need their parents to be there. Though it's hard, you make it. I am not sure whether I am brave enough as you do while I was in that situation.

Yes, courage is what we need to make a wise decision in this situation. And I think you are quite rational too. I am not sure I can do the same as you did.

If he was having an affair with me and was married with a family, he wouldn't be "my love" he would be a low down dirty rotten dog that i wouldn't trust as far as i could throw him!

Yes, I think you do a very right thing! Sometimes we could not marry someone we love so most,however,if you really love the person ,you should let him happy ,not take up him and hurt his soul! Besides, we should thanks for he having gone along with us with one part of life! I know when you leave him, you are so sad,baby, don't cry, you just meet wrong person, you will meet better Mr right in a short time ,I belive! Please be stonger, we will all pass this so hard troube!

No second thought, I will give up on him coz he doesnt deserve it. Ok lets say that when he sees you, there might be a star came down from the sky and not just one star but many stars... whoooooo!!! what a description. But gurl... if he is really a good man, he should think that he is married and have kids. If he regreted his married life well...sorry for him coz marriage is a sacred bond that no one can cut it coz God made it infinit. You should not cry over spilled milk baleleng,look into the lighter side of your life. Be grateful that you succeed in fighting over a wrong relationship. Remember, there is no happy mistress. If there is no man like him, there will never be a emotional, mental and physical depress woman.

i did love a wrong men before and we have a child. i do really love him but i guess we are not meant for each other coz we meet at the wrong time. i gave him up because it is the right thing to do even it break me apart but i must do it for my angel. i even bring up my angel all alone without his help or support. now i am happy that i made that decision coz i found the right men to love and hoping to spend the rest of my life with him.

You did the right thing ending your relationship with a married guy. There's just no future for you to hold on to it because right from the start he lied to you by not telling you that he is married.

Your right sugarplum that I really have no future to hold if I still living with him.

I know how hard what you experience baleleng. It is really painful and hard to set free a person whom you really love but I do really salute your courage in making that big step. I have been in the same situation but the only difference is my man is separated long ago before we met but it is really painful to know that the person you love is already married although separated. I really don't know that time what to do. I am puzzled so I decide to embrace the pain. Even if it happens again to me, honestly I don't know if I can give up everything to him of just accept the reality and embrace the sins it has.

What you did was pure courage and dignity. It's difficult to let go of someone whom you loved that much yet, with your determination to make amends with the wrongs in the past and with your willingness get back to the natural course of your dignified life, you made a HUGE sacrifice. I salute you for that. I wish there are many like you out there who are willing to make sacrifices for the sake of self-peace and morality. Keep enjoying you life NOW and God bless you!
