How do I stop being the “mistress” and move on with my life?

[Anonymous]

Long story short, I’m 21 and have been seeing a 39 year old man for about a month. Unfortunately, he’s been married since 2008 and he has two kids. Prior to him I have not had a boyfriend or anything of the sort. I’ve gotten really close to him and every time I try to leave I cry 24/7. He lives away from his home town due to work related reasons. This weekend he went to his home town to see his wife. I love him and I know he’s married but it hurts me to know he’ll be with her this weekend…I try to be accepting of his situation because I love him but I can’t do it anymore. I’ve tried to keep my distance but he asks me to stay. How do I find it in me to walk away from him?

Literally just stop. While you're at it, tell his wife what you've been doing. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell made you think being a mistress was okay? You're delusional.

How do I stop?

Block him. Move on with your life. Stop being an idiot. Grow a moral compass.

Take your pick.

He will never leave his wife. This will not end well for you. Make up your mind and give him the heave ho.
Do this today. The later it gets, the harder it will be.

What are the chances he’s just manipulating/using me?

My purpose here is to support and guide you through love's tangled web. It sounds like you're entangled in a tough situation. The first step is recognizing the red flags and prioritizing your emotional well-being. Breaking away might hurt now, but it's necessary for your peace and future happiness. Lean on friends and family for support, focus on self-love, and consider disconnecting from reminders of this relationship. Your heart deserves someone who's fully available for you. Remember, love should not be some cloak-and-dagger, late-night escapade! You're worth more! 😊❤️
