e-mail to a friend in needThis week at Happen: Will he ever divorce?
MSN.com, Match.com, HappenMagazine.com: they’re in a healthy and satisfying 3-way relationship. Meaning that you can find MSN/Match.com’s “Ask Lynn” columns –penned by BG’s alter ego — over at Happen now as well.
This week Lynn helps Edgy in Erie, a gal living with, and raising her kids with, a guy who has not fully extricated himself from his unhappy marriage. Namely:
- He hasn’t followed through with the divorce.
- He has cheated on me with her.
- He talks to her often and seems overly concerned with the goings-on of her life (beyond kid-related things).
After three years, does this guy need understanding, or a kick in the pants? Read the full letter — and Lynn’s response — at Happen, then comment below!
if the girl is satisfied with sharing her man and the wife doesn’t seem to really care……its like she is in limbo. needs to have better choices made, no point in being with a person who isn’t completely ready paperwork and emointally either. he’s dragging the kids into it. he wants his cake and to eat it too!

I think that this situation is ridiculous. That man is simply hiding behind his children, and that is despicable. So, he thinks it is necessary to wait to file for divorce until his children are old enough to handle it, but it is perfectly fine for his children to spend time with him and his girlfriend with whom he now lives?? That just doesn’t make sense to me. What’s harder for children to handle: mom and dad are getting a divorce, or dad is living with another woman and sometimes comes home to mom? Seriously, it is time for “Edgy” to tell him that she’s not going to put her life on hold because he doesn’t have the guts to make a decision- or a commitment.

I have read too many articles about women who are kind of spineless and write to the advice author about questions. probably with that is that you don’t know if you are going to have your questions answered, in the meantime its a bit of a head scratcher……some of them just lack common sense.

Truthfully, a guy who really is in love with you and cares will get divorced even if it is a difficult process. This way, he has his wife who he’s obviously involved with (even if he’s stopped cheating on his current girlfriend with her) and someone to take care of him, have sex with him and share a home. He doesn’t have the motivation to put his affairs in order.
