I was married for a couple of years when I left my wife. The relationship I had with my wife was that of a friendship. There was no chemistry and no sex. The woman that I left her for had her own complications. So how did this work out? I will answer that in two ways.

First, it sped up a divorce that was going to happen regardless. Because our decision to separate was quick, there was no time for us to make the poor decision to have kids at that time. She and I are still friendly when we see each other. It was a great decision, No matter the circumstance.

Second, the relationship I left for has had many ups and downs. This relationship started 5 years ago and is still going on today. While we have gone through hell for each other — it has taken a lot of time to get to a place where we can truly be a strong couple. We both needed to unwind from our own lives and be on our own for a time. We did not expect it to be so hard, but now that we are in a strong place, it has been so worth it.
