Ok I’ll give a short gist of what happened, I started dating this guy online but after sometime time whatever details he gave me was untrue. even his pic was not of his. But i never gave up on him.. Kept talking to him to finally know that he is married and has a kid (after meeting him but we never consummated or anything just a brief kiss). Now i cant do this because i feel guilty for ruining his family. there is a girl here who is getting affected. And this guy says he is his true self and able to connect with me better which i think is not true. Even though there’s only lot of talking involved he never stays in the line as a friend. so i keep hurting him so that he will stop talking to me. But teeny tiny piece inside me wants that warmth of his talk and years for his friendship which wont happen eventually i’ll end up crossing the line due to his constant pushing. please help how to come out of this.
February 14, 2016 at 4:46 am #96000HippieChickParticipantStop all contact and RUN away. This guy is dishonest with both you and his wife…he’s lied not only about being married but also about who he IS. The only outcome is that you’ll get hurt, even if you manage to keep it as “friends”. There are plenty of other guys out there.
February 14, 2016 at 5:24 am #96001InkyParticipantHi Niyata,
I totally agree with Tami. Yes, it will hurt for a little while, but trust me, you will quickly get over it, sooner than you think. Also, this guy will probably move on to lie to another victim. He won’t be hurt at all. Feel bad for the wife and small child. Don’t be a part of that train wreck.
Quickly find, like, twelve guys online. Meet them all and then every month drop one until you are down to one quality bachelor. This will get you used to picking quality people and used to rejecting people. OMG, kind of like the Bachelorette!! LOL! Bottom Line: Don’t give this guy a rose.
Best,
Inky

You wrote: “so i keep hurting him so that he will stop talking to me. But teeny tiny piece inside me wants that warmth of his talk.”
This is an opportunity for you, I believe, to learn what motivates you and how you operate. It is obvious, of course, that this relationship should be stopped as soon as possible. In addition to this reasonable advice, it is an opportunity. Because you already know, as your post indicates, that this is not a good situation for you to get involved with and it is not a good situation for his wife and kid. You already know this.
What you don’t know- once you know it- things will get clearer for you.
You keep hurting him so that he will stop talking to you. Another way, more effective way, if the goal is that he doesn’t talk to you would be for you to stop talking to him. But you want the decision to be made by him. Why? Is it a pattern to not trust your own choice making ability and prefer that others will make the choice for you… and trying to indirectly make them make the right choice for you…?
Another point, in that quote: part of you wants the warmth of his talk. It is natural to want what feels like love. Is it that you think you cannot get love from an available man? Does “love” from an unavailable man feels more worthy than that of an available man?
Hope you ponder my input and post again … and if you do, we can continue examining this opportunity for learning about yourself.

February 15, 2016 at 10:50 pm #96152NiyataParticipantHi Tami! Even though i haven’t seen his wife or kids i can foresee how much pain his wife will go through if she knows this. I will never do anything to hurt that beautiful family. Eventually i end up thinking too much and hurting myself why i end up with guys like this. Thanks for taking time and replying. I appreciate your help in my tough times
February 15, 2016 at 10:52 pm #96153NiyataParticipantHi Inky, yeah i dont have the quality of rejecting people im end up being too nice with them they start to think they can walk all over me. i know that but i am unable to come out of it. You plan seems to be awesome. I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks for your kind words.
February 15, 2016 at 10:57 pm #96154NiyataParticipantHi Anita,
Your observation is right. My inner mind thinks if he takes the step i wont have to take the blame. But the point is i never did any mistake. I really gave my time love and affection to this guy and had been there for him whenever he needs someone to talk to when he posed himself as an available man . But i never expected someone can keep such a big thing hidden from girl they talk to. Yeah there are plenty of other guys out there. Im actually doing injustice to myself by doing this. I realize all that but I’m not able to do that completely cutting him off from his life everyday there is a particular time i speak to him. When that time comes its like drug and im unable to control and i go and contact him with a hi.. feel like getting stuck in the fishnet he lays for me every time. And i get reminded of the talks we had the fun time and the connect we had which makes me think we should at least remain friends which is my next big mistake. He had lied about almost everything till now i dont even know his real name. but he claims that he is his true self only with me and what i see is what the real him. Even though his family is with him they dont know anything him like what he likes what he really is and all that. I feel this is just a Pavlov’s effect. I seriously want to take control and do not want to fall victim for such things since i value my life a lot. But that double mindedness ruins every opportunity i get to get away from him.
February 16, 2016 at 8:30 am #96170AnonymousGuestDear Niyata:
When he writes to you that “he is his true self only with (you)” that makes you feel special, doesn’t it? To think that you are so special that only with you does he get to be his true self. I can see where this is intoxicating, the feeling following his claim. Intoxicating.. like a drug. Actually every feeling we have is a result of a naturally released drug in our brains and chemicals sent through our bodies, so indeed this is an issue of drugs, literally.
You called your mental state “double mindedness”- knowing on one hand that he is married with child, that he lied to you in the past and may be lying still to you … and on the other hand, part of you does believe, and feel, that you are special in his life.
You try to hurt him so that he stops contacting you because (isn’t it) you are afraid to make a mistake: you don’t really know what the truth is: is there or isn’t there something special here, a special connection? You don’t know.
Until you know, you will be confused, torn by opposites motivations.
For you to be able to know what it is that is going on, if you would like, we can look deeper into your mind to figure it out. If you are interested in doing so, please share about your experience as a child in your relationship with one (or both) of your parents. I am wondering if there is a conflict you are carrying with you from that time and if you resolve that conflict, your thinking in the present will become clearer.

March 3, 2016 at 6:21 am #97881NiyataParticipantWhat to say Anita! I am away from my house and parents for the past 8 years. They did too much injustice for me that i want to move away from them to save myself.. I ended up talking to strangers like this who wants to use me as a result of my loneliness so that i can share my burden which turned out to be real bad idea. I have gone through lot of sexual, physical and mental abuse but have managed to come out of it with the help of my friends and living a self sustained life. Yes i have been carrying a lot inside me which i cant mention publicly here due to privacy. But i feel your words are giving lot of comfort and clarity to my mind. I have cut contact with this guy now for more than 2 weeks now. I want to open out more with you so that i can get a good resolution for most of the problems i have been carrying around.
March 3, 2016 at 8:48 am #97889AnonymousGuestDear Niyata:
I am very interested in you opening up to me and I will open up to you as well. This is a public forum and it concerns you that your life is private and you don’t want it here, on a public forum. But, Niyata, if your name is not your true name and you don’t mention where you live, where you were born, what year you were born and any identifiable details like these, what is the risk of exposure here?
Please do share anything you want. In the far past I gave my private email to a few individuals who asked for it here on this forum, but it didn’t work out for me. This is why I am not offering it to you, or to anyone here any longer.
There is something beautiful and liberating about being KNOWN, making yourself known and this, here, is an opportunity for you to do so, without identifying details. You can express your authentic emotions and your thoughts and with me, you will be safe. If someone will be disrespectful to you on this thread, that will not be passively accepted by me. And it will be an opportunity for you (and I) to assert yourself.
I am glad you moved out and away from the people who mistreated you so badly! I did the same thing only later in my life and wish I did it earlier. And after I ended all contact with my mother, only less than three years ago, it took me a long time- and I am still in the process- of freeing myself from her abuse of me.
Hoping to get a reply from you and hoping this thread will continue on and on…

March 29, 2016 at 8:32 am #100384AnonymousGuestDear Niyata:

March 29, 2016 at 10:07 am #100394NiyataParticipantMy childhood was horrible.. Not only childhood until i was 24 until i forcefully left the family i was born in and people who are associated with it. Not only with this guy even after isolating myself from my family i keep going back now and then thinking that they might change thinking that i’m giving them a chance to understand me and love me and cherish me… and get deeply hurt yet again until last month… Instead getting away from toxic people what i do is allow them and give them all power to ruin me and drain me. that’s what i do. I’m writing about my entire life here just bear with me for few hours. Tiny Buddha is the only thing i come back to like a mom’s lap when i want to cry or when i want to cheer up or when i need motivation i guess its time i let out all the misery from my heart here..
March 29, 2016 at 10:57 am #100397NiyataParticipantI dunno where to start its gonna be too long but please bear with me.. As a baby i was never raised by my mother and mostly grew up with my grandma and grandpa.. I was diagnosed with this rare condition of shigellosis when i was 1 and a half i guess and underwent major abdominal surgery twice at taht age and had to be in post operative recovery till i was 3 since my grandpa was a doctor he took care of me and my medicinal expenses.. I was told that my father dint even visit me during that operation by my mom’s sisters. So.. I grew up looking up to my grandpa as my living hero because he is, he saved my life what else do i need. and my grandma she would bring the whole world down to me if i ask so… she loved me that much cuz i was the first grand daughter in the family. My mum was their first kid and she had 2 sisters and a brother.. So that was my home. I never did knew my father well till i was 3 years of age. The first time i was ripped off from my grandparents and taken to my father’s hometown cuz basically didn’t recognize my parents after a while and my father started panicking i would forget them once an for all.. that’s how good my grandparents took care of me. I was sent to school and i remember my mother was very abusive in my kinder garden she would hurt me physically to vent out all the anger she had on my father and her in laws. i used to get terrified around her. If i don’t write neatly or be playful damn im done. My skin would be torn off by her pinching and slapping.. I don’t remember my father hurting me at this age. I would always score first in class else i would be terrified by the abuse.. Meeting my grandparents was my only fun. My father was a air force personnel and he took voluntary retirement just to attend to his family since we were all falling apart and was jobless for quite sometime .. so we were not very rich or anything. But i always used to understand them and was not very demanding for anything i was always silent playing with my doll and stuff. (or so far is what i remember) Meanwhile my mom has to go back to my grandparents house for delivering my younger brother and my father don’t want to send me with her (i dunno if it is because i love them more or he really did care about my studies when i was 6)and he took care of me for around 6 months i guess. He is generally very short tempered man but until this point he was very good to me i don’t remember him abusing me until this point. But his own siblings gets terrified about him he is such short tempered..he abuses my mum a lot as i said earlier.. And so my mum came back with my little brother and he was center of all attention in my father side of the family and i was literally non existent.. very simple things which never happened to me was given to him especially by my father.. During my birthdays it was considered to be lavish to buy a cake they wont.. but for my brother all birthdays were filled with cake neighbors big dinners etc., etc., the fool i was i dint even know that partiality then. But i was still the princess for my mum’s parents.. i would travel alone to go to their town once the exams are over at that age, my grandpa would come and pick me in the bus station that was like disneyland for me.. Meanwhile one day i swallowed my teeth in sleep. 🙁 it happens right u dunno what happened even before u realize teeth is down the throat.. Innocently i went and said this to my mum and dad.. I dunno what rage my father was in .. He took a cane and blasted me out flesh and blood… closing the room door not even allowing anyone inside the room that’s the first time i saw that monster.. and felt so bad and ashamed to face my cousins who are my age he was like this super strict. He wont send me anywhere.. neither anyone should should come to our home.. No playing outside is allowed
he thought he is bringing in discipline in my life and literally killed my childhood. At this time he stopped sending me to my grandparents house for all holidays.. i have to excel in academics too.. else i will be caned for that also.. even simple fights between my mum and dad would result in me getting hurted physically either by mum or dad.(contd..) -
