I just left my wife for someone else?
I have been married for 2 years. I'm a small business owner and lately things have been seemingly falling apart.
I met a woman 7 months ago and we somehow ended up falling in love with one another. Problem is my best friend who is also a good friend of my wife has been trying to date her for some time not knowing about the affair.
I confessed to her last night about it because I don't want to hurt her and she took it surprisingly calmly.
I now run the risk of.losing my best friend my entire family and my sanity. What should I do?
Harsh comments are expected.
I appreciate the facts I said harshness was expected because I don't want to hear sugarcoated advice. I confessed to the affair on my own because I knew it was wrong. I am the type who takes responsibility for actions but this time clearly I did it too little too late

What you should do is divorce your wife. Hope your new one is aware that you like to cheat - just a matter of time before a more exciting one comes along. Your wife deserves better and a deserves a faithful man too.
BTW she probably already knew about the 2 of you and was planning on divorce any way.

Your mind is not in a clear place currently to involve yourself in another long term relationship would be a mistake at present. I suggest firstly getting some of you cash out of the business and liquidating as much as you quietly.
Turn as much as you can into cash and do not show on the books.
Then i would say to the current wife that you want a divorce. Make sure you pack what is important to you before you leave as she is going to get everything that you do not take.
After that i would live with the new partner for a while maybe two years and then if things work out stay that way and just say marriage is not for you, just say been there done that.
Make sure you do not discuss with anyone your plans, YOU CAN TRUST ABSOLUTELY NO ONE.

I won't be harsh but honest.
A real man would divorce the wife FIRST. Then move on to other conquests. You are weak in handling this problem in such a manner. Quit worrying over the "best friend" for now. Get that divorce. If this chick really loves you she won't ""cheat"" on you with him. Instead she will wait for the divorce. BUT now you can see if she too is a cheater like you. Honestly. So if she is....I say stay single and don't jump into ANY marriage. good luck

Well I'll stick to the facts...
1) Your choice was not to stay to salvage a very new marriage but to break your vows to love, honor and faithfulness by cheating....not a wise choice. Your wife was mature about it but it sounds as if she expected to have you confirm the infidelity.
2) Then you left the marriage for the woman who enabled you to cheat. never mind cheating goes to your moral make-up...it goes to hers. her willingness to enable a married man to cheat means she does NOT value marriage vows....certainly not anyone elses...more than likely hers too should she marry. Goes to how much she does or doesn't respect marriage vows....she doesn't. Consider this well.
3) Now your wife is fair game...your bad. You have ffreedher up to be and accept being pursued by another male...it just happens to be your best friend.....nothing you can do about it.
4) You took the gamble now if you loose the bet you have to deal with the consequences. If that means Bye-bye wife and best friend...and a messed up family situation'' for a woman whose moral compass like yours needs a serious adjustment.....well you must have KNOWN this would turn out that way...or did you not care until now, when you have to deal with it in reality and not theory.

Go back to your wife you idiot! That woman you just met 7 months ago is the devil who tried to test your loyalty to your wife! YOU ARE A MAN RIGHT? Go break up with that woman and go back to your wife! Ask for forgiveness and you shall never look on other woman except to your wife! I bet your wife already know that you have another woman in the first place but then she believes that you will be enlighten and go back to her! YOUR WIFE IS A PRECIOUS JEWEL! Do you understand? DON'T THROW THE JEWEL JUST BECAUSE OF A ROCK!
I'm a 16year old teenager, please forgive me for being harsh. But then, looking in your situation, you just reminding me about my parents! That's why I'm very much irritated that I wanted to choke you!

You are investing in things other than your relationship. You are investing in your business and your relationship with another woman. How can you expect your new marriage to be successful if you don't put time and effort into it. I think you need to end the affair and beg your wife to forgive you.

It is your life and it sounds as if your wife felt deprived also, so maybe it will all workout just fine--Who knows? I don't see why you are "losing your sanity", it was a choice and you made it. You're a growna** man, you know the consequences. Good Luck N Good LovN

You should brace yourself for impact. Because this is a messy situation and SOME part of it at SOME point is going to get ugly. You and your wife need to figure out what you want to do and go from there.

A real man wouldn't have spent significant time with any woman except his wife. Then you wouldn't have fallen in love. Then you wouldn't be in this mess.
You really don't say what you want to.happen.
