Is it Wrong to Leave My Husband for a Man I Just Met on the Internet?
Age is irrelevant.
So what if he’s younger than you? Would it matter if he were 10 years older?
Fact is you like him, and you didn’t sit around thinking "should I like him, is he the right age?". Really, does anyone do that? No, only the overactive brain and its idle chatter judges all the little things you do and think and that’s what get’s us in trouble.
It really makes no difference whether you are the same age, younger, or older than your partner.
We believe that people enter and leave our lives at just the right time, for whatever reasons that we aren’t quite yet evolved enough to fully comprehend. Relationships help us learn more about life and ourselves than any other experiences. Cherish them and appreciate their gifts.
What will your friends say?
In short, it doesn’t matter. If you friends don’t love you enough to support you in your decisions, then maybe you should get some new friends. It really is that simple.
Unfortunately, family and friends are typically the ones that hold you back and keep you "in your box".
All the people in our lives who think "they know better" tell us who we should date, who we should marry, what we should do, etc. Well, guess what? They don’t have a real clue what YOU should do. All they really have the right and ability to tell you is what they would do in your situation.
Most of the time they just end up reiterating what they were told by their parents and ministers as they grew up – without ever questioning those thoughts and beliefs.
They may mean well and truly care about you, but they can’t possibly know what you should do. Only you can know that by listening to your heart.
In Summary
- Follow your heart and do what you feel to be right.
- It is not your responsibility to make anyone else happy, but it IS your responsibility to make yourself happy.
- If you choose to leave your husband because you are having problems or your relationship no longer works, make that decision independently of whether or not you want to be with this other man.
- Take the time to know this new man before running away with him.
