Husband,

No, the OM is not married and has no kids. He's never even been engaged before. He just recently broke things off with his girlfriend. They were together for a few years. We talk about all kinds of things. We spend hours on phone. I've never talked to someone so much in my life. We talk about my marriage, his relationship, relationships in general, my son, his work. He's told me a lot about his parents & childhood. Future dreams, and goals. We talk about our feelings about each other. He never says bad things about my husband. He's just really easy to talk too but I am aware that part of that is because he has no emotional investment in any of that so he can listen without being defensive or getting angry. He's been very up front and honest with me with what he has to offer relationship wise. I have made it clear that he is not the reason I would leave my marriage. What I like best about him is that he encourages me to try new things, take chances, to act on my dreams and goals. Where my husband is total opposite. He feels threatened by any changes I make. He makes me feel like it's a waste of time and that I couldn't possibly be capable of following through with something let alone actually accomplishing something. He thinks I belong at the mall shopping or getting my nails done and even then he thinks it's all I could handle doing.
