How Can I Break Away From an Affair That is Fatal Attraction?
Asked by: amritasingh from SACRAMENTO, CA
My husband had an Affair with a woman that is 20 years older than him.
This happened when he took a job 600 miles away from our hometown and he "rented" a room in this ladies home. The lady was divorced and had a very nice Mansion type home left to her from her divorce and she liked to go to the nearby Casino and gamble and drink fine wines as did my husband.
According to my husband she became like a maid to him, and cooked great Chinese food(she used to own a Chinese Restaurant) and they became close friends and one thing lead to another and they soon had an Affair with each other. My husband used to come home on the weekends and finally came home less and less, then confided in me that he was having an Affair. I had a major court case in my hometown and had to be available for court, so I could not move with my husband when he got his job. We agreed we would make the move later in the Fall. After I found out about the Affair I was angry and devastated as we have been married for 23 years. I did not want a divorce. Eventually we began speaking again and he swore he was sorry and wanted me back and that I should move to Southern California to be with him and that he missed the children. My husband had indicated that this woman he was having an Affair with had a 'Slip and Fall' accident at the local Casino they had frequented as she slipped on the dance floor and she had a lawsuit against the Casino. This lady claimed she was hurt and could not return to Real Estate job and that she was Bankrupt and was losing her 'Mansion' Bankruptcy Court had to Auction the home off, so she made my husband feel sorry for her and he stupidly signed a 1 year lease for another home for her and paid half of her rent.
My husband moved me here and he wants to break up with her but it is fatal attraction, she lures him back with feel sorry stories and is alone. Husband is constantly threatened and he wants to break it off with no trouble to his job or these threats. Fatal Attraction!
Additional Details added (02/11/08):
My husband is seeing a counselor but this woman cannot accept that it is over, and he has left her but she threatens him about the signed lease and she has harrassed me over and over on my cell phone, and I called her back and told her off now she has filed a phone harrassment restraining order on me and she also has stalked me and said I assaulted her at the local casino(thank god I had witnesses!!! who said it wasn't true) I no longer go to that casino. My husband has gone back and forth to her and me and now the lease is finally up, and the court is trying to serve me, but they cannot locate me, and he says he wants a safe way to leave her, as she always threatens, and she makes him feel sorry for her by saying that she has high blood pressure, or that he needs to come to her as she is in the Emergency Room at the hospital and she is alone and she cannot make any money and has no income, except for the $1000 alimony from her ex-husband and she does not qualify for welfare or Social Security as she is a Filipino without citizenship, she constantly threatens my husband to divorce me and he does not want a divorce, but does not have the heart to get her in trouble, so he asks how can he leave her peacefully? He is promising to come back to me before Valentines Day, as that is our son's birthday.

It is indeed.
If there is a possibility of getting your husband into some kind of therapy or marriage counseling, then do it. You would like to at least have some kind of assurance that this will never happen again. It probably will if there is no treatment. It sounds like he is making the same mistake over and over again. This you can not have. If he won't do it, then I think it is a lost cause. Cut your losses.

This is a very good question! and I maybe able to help as I too have had a fatal attraction.

* First, open a P.O. box (even if your mail box has a lock) and forward ALL mail. Use a CROSSCUT shreder when you are finished with your mail (including junk mail) and dump only portions of the shred at a time.

If he can't man up and walk away and stay true to you so you 2 can work it out - let him run back to grandma and remember years from now what he lost. Your better than this and if he can't make up his mind...well. Don't let the door hit ya - make a stand and make him - no options other than you and your family or her - 1 time - 1 choice

i would make him choose between her and you because it shouldnt be that hard of a choice when you have been married for 23 years it seems like he is feeling guilted into doing what he does and i think you should look into filing a restraining order against the girl and then tell my husband to choose and sign the restraining order too but you are going to need to have evidence that she is harrassing you.

That is a tough spot to be in indeed.

That woman sounds to me that she needs some help herself. Tell your husband to cut all connections to her. If she calls don't return them, if she stalks him, get a restraining order. She's like a bad cold that will not go away. I give you kudos for sticking with you man.

You are not gonna like my answer!! But what you are doing is involving yourself in a problem that is not yours to fix. You are allowing yourself to be manipulated by your husband who is relying on your love for him to keep you hanging in there, when what you should be doing is running as far away from him and his "girlfriend" as you possibly can. There is no earthly reason for you to put up with this situation.
When he first told you of his "problem", what you should have d...
