This post was triggered by an earlier post I saw where the poster was having long talks with his friend's wife. I've been in a similar situation. I changed location and had to be separate from my family due to work. I was lonely and needed a friend. I talk with my husband regularly, but his interests are not my interests, so I find that besides household and family matters, we have little else to talk about. I found myself talking to this guy I met when I went for an official assignment. We started as friends, but we became attracted to each other. So when I travelled back to base, we started these long conversations. We're both born-again Christians and both married, so we kept to certain boundaries. I enjoyed conversing with him more than with my spouse. I became consumed with thoughts of him. He also expressed his desire and attraction towards me, but we laughed over it as jokes.

My husband noticed the conversations when I travelled home and became suspicious. He forbade me from speaking with him. He had never seen me have long talks with any friend, talkless of a male one. I informed my friend and he said no problem, he would wait till I travelled back to work base before he would continue. He later travelled to meet his family and conversation became scanty. I realized how much I was addicted to him when I couldn't talk to him as much as I wanted. He returned to base and we continued like before.

I started praying for God to help me overcome these desires. Maybe he also felt the same, because for some reasons I don't know, he reduced the frequency of calls and chats drastically. I didn't try to find out why, just thought the time-off would help me clear out immoral thoughts. But I got hurt when he acted indifferent on one occasion when I felt he should have shown more care. I asked him about it and he pretended not to understand what I was talking about. I read the writing on the wall, and decided to play along. So I said "bye. It was nice meeting you." Part of me was grateful it ended, another part was wishing I could still be with him. I love my husband and children, I cannot come and scatter my home.

He thought I was joking. I was no longer responding to his chats, and when I did, only with monosyllables. He became hurt and accused me of going silent on him. I told him he started it. He wanted me to become defensive, but the Holy Spirit whispered "keep quiet ". So I allowed him rant without saying anything. I thank God I didn't, because I would have exposed how deep my true feelings for him were.

Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine". My feelings have healed and I thank God we didn't continue because I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from an affair if we had eventually had any physical contact. I can categorically say I'm no longer in love with him.

I penned these down for those struggling with similar situations. Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings.

It was brave of you to let go of that feeling and do what is right.

I have a rule; regardless of the bond or memories we used to share as friends of the opposite sex, once you get married, I tone down communication between us to the barest minimum. It's a hard choice but I'd rather not see myself as the man who ruined another man's home.

About about being close friends with already married women, that's another big NO for me. We are humans with feelings and emotions, not pre-programmed robots. Women especially tend to fall for someone who's always there to listen and be a shoulder to lean on and all that stuff. I've had several instances where I've had to subtly and politely decline a close friendship with married women. Your husband's shoulders should be more than enough for you to lean on. If you have problems, get a therapist. Muchísimas gracias

Eyyah, he your person

Women una weldone






Congratulations

Not easy at all thank God 4 ur life. 95% of dose who enter dis emotional prison no dey end well and life injury must sustain at d end.

Like I said on another thread, not everyone has what I refer to as mental maturity to engage in these kinds of relationships for real.

Don't worry your husband will also find a BORN-AGAIN woman that share similar interests with him. Hope you'd get to understand when you find out. Whats good for the gosse should be good for the gander

The question I always poised to people is, how would you geneuinely feel if your partner does or is doing same thing that you are doing in secret? The answer will help one to think deep over the consequey of their actions...

I feel some missing parts in the story

In pure undiluted scriptural standard, you've committed adultery with him already. Just so you know that.

But rather more important is your very last paragraph of advice to other women who might be going through similar temptation as you. Here, let me quote you:

"Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings"

Now, here's the irony buried in the paragraph before last:

"Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine"

While you still keep the door ajar for prospective adultery with this same idiot, (most likely when you and hubby have a fight) you are advising other women going through similar challenge to cut off chats totally. You know the intention of this iniquitous pig and your own abominable longings and vulnerability towards him yet you still entertain his obviously probing "how are you's." You're still an unrepentant adulterer and you need counseling and deliverance before entertaining the idea of climbing that virtual pulpit you just did by preaching this sermon. And may GOD help your husband who's ignorant enough to permit that stupid work of yours that has no respect for matrimony to post you outside his location.

If you need to work on your grammar and how to become a better writer, biko keep following this moniker’s posts, he is such a good writer.


Modified ; To the topic above and to those condemning the op, just pray and pray hard and pray never to loose guard because no one, not even a man of God is above temptations.

I had similar experience many many years back while serving, though I was not married but then the temptation of falling for another guy with me being a Christian and having a serious relationship with my ex, was so strong! But i prayed my way out of it an God answered my prayers and turned I and the new guy to enemies.

Note, I wasn’t going to fornicate with him or anything but emotionally I was attached to him but God broke that connection and it ended.

Whenever you find yourself in complicated situations like this, especially ones that seem difficult to avoid if you worked together or live close to each other, better go to God in prayers and avoid that person at all costs. You will regret it and might pay dearly for it if you don’t do the needful.

This was exactly the same thing going through my head, the type of people calling themselves Born again these days is shocking.
This is what Christianity has become, it has been very diluted.
Someone that should bury her head in shame and cry out for forgiveness, someone still keeping in contact with the same person she committed emotional adultery with is still proud to seat on the throne of advise.

I bet she is a "women leader" in church teaching young women.
Such a terrible and sad thing to read, that a wife and a mother can become so loose as to make themselves vulnerable to this point highlights how weak this person is spiritually.

As a born again person, your spiritual antenna ought to be able to spot these kind of things from a yard away.

Reminds me of a particular white girl in my church, I knew she loved me and I always avoided her, we were put in a group together and she eventually got my phone number, that was when the stalking began. But having a pre-knowledge of her intentions I already knew how to handle it.

By the way I am single, so I wonder when married people who claim to be christians and have loving families behave like goats on heat without self control.

It is a shame... spits

I talk with my husband regularly, but his interests are not my interests, so I find that besides household and family matters, we have little else to talk about.

If Jesus didn't condemn the adulterous woman then who am I to condemn you. Even though you didn't go physical with him, it's still wrong. We are human. I'm glad you realised on time to set boundary. Otherwise, you would've destroyed your marriage. Your husband should be your best friend and not the other way round.

You said it all, I hope others, most especially women in committed relationships will learn & stick to ur advise.

Wen two unrelated opposite sex, close unnecessarily, the feelings would just come from nowhere, "I think certain homones in the body responsible for that".
No wonder bible says, flee away and not run o, for Satan, ........ human being can do anything for devil but certainly cannot dribble him and win.......

People should stop hidden under one finger.

Kobojunkie:
Like I said on another thread, not everyone have what I refer to as mental maturity to engage in these kinds of relationships for real.

No single person and stop saying not everyone.

If you think about mental maturity/discpline

Perhaps, you have been meeting weak / innocent men before, a day is coming that you will "meet wolf in sheep clothing man", he would not only break your defense (any mental discipline you think you can display) but also enter you completely.

A wise saying, need not smelling what you dnt want to eat.

Ur write up didn't project you as born again sir, going by ur references , arrogancy is one of cananities that must be purged out from who claimed to be born again, arrogancy and self righteous reek all over ur body just like Leke Adeboye.

Learn how not to be judgemental as Jesus did during his earthly ministry.

Nobody, I insist, nobody that cannot be tempted sir.

Well, I suppose you're a Christian too. You should be conversant with Jesus' words when he told the crowd that came to stone the adulterous woman that "he that is without sin should cast the first stone." I'm no angel, I admit my faults. However, those lustful feelings I talked about are much more common than you think. You cannot prevent a bird from perching, but you can prevent it from building a nest on your head. Even you are not exempted if you are honest enough to admit it, except you're a eunuch.

Also, I have received forgiveness and there is now no condemnation for me in Christ Jesus. Therefore, I refuse to allow your "stone" to hit me. And I hope you have removed the log in your own eyes before coming to remove the speck in mine.

All the same, I kept his contact because we still work for the same organisation, and communication lines should be kept open.

Shalom

Sighs... it is well. It's clear you're still young. When you become mature due to life experiences, come back, read this post of yours again and advise yourself.

Where married couples are involved, there should be boundaries! I used to have a bestie who was like a sister from work place when we were both unmarried. After I got married, she continued to be free around my place and with my family, and this caused huge tensions between myself and wifey. Mind you, there was never a thing between us, no feelings, no lust. God so kind, she found someone and got married and I consciously tried to tone down and avoid her altogether. When she enquiries why, I was blunt and told her that she was married and I did not want her hubby to feel awkward and she understood.
Then the devil struck one night she had a disagreement with her hubby and since we lived in same city, she angrily left and landed in my house. I noticed it was marital issues and requested her hubby’s number so I could speak with him, at least let him know she was in my place that night, she refused, all the while , her hubby was calling and she refused picking up. As God would have it my phone rang and I never knew her hubby had my number as I did not have his. The moment he introduced himself, I informed him his wife was in my place, he did not allow me land, he was like “no problem, the two of you can enjoy yourself and have a nice life”. It took God, the presence of my wife in the house to finally convince her hubby about my own version of events.
Would I blame him? No! Was it his insecurities as some would want to frame it? No also! Now I understood clearly how my wife felt at the initial stage in marriage when she frequently featured in our home, I juxtaposed it with how her hubby felt. I also imagined how I would feel if a male bestie featured regularly in my wife’s life. No definition would be good enough, opposite sex bestie is a sign of absolute disrespect to your spouse!!!

postmann:
In pure undiluted scriptural standard, you've committed adultery with him already. Just so you know that.

But rather more important is your very last paragraph of advice to other women who might be going through similar temptation as you. Here, let me quote you:

"Just cut off the relationship. Stop conversation, chatting, or physical contact. Then pray for God to help you overcome those lusty feelings"

Now, here's the irony buried in the paragraph before last:

"Right now, he chats once in a while, just general "how are you". I say "fine"

While you still keep the door ajar for prospective adultery with this same idiot, (most likely when you and hubby have a fight) you are advising other women going through similar challenge to cut off chats totally. You know the intention of this iniquitous pig and your own abominable longings and vulnerability towards him yet you still entertain his obviously probing "how are you's." You're still an unrepentant adulterer and you need counseling and deliverance before entertaining the idea of climbing that virtual pulpit you just did by preaching this sermon. And may GOD help your husband who's ignorant enough to permit that stupid work of yours that has no respect for matrimony to post you outside his location.

Respect

Ur write up didn't project you as born again sir, arrogancy is one of cananity that must purge away from who claimed to be born again, arrogancy and self righteous reek all over ur body .

Learn how not to be judgemental as Jesus did during his earthly ministry.

Nobody, I insist nobody that cannot be tempted sir.

Where in my post did I say I was born again ?
You don't need to be born again to live a decent life.
I am sick of seeing too many wolves in sheeps clothing masquerading around in the church.
If you are weak and need help don't pretend and act like you have overcome.
The OP rather than express herself from a point of repentance, decided to arrogate to herself a false sense of victory while still in touch with the same person that made her commit emotional adultery.

From her write up it was obvious the other guy seemed to have a bit of respect for his marital vows, if it was someone who didn't have the fear of God the OP already slept with him in her mind.

Fiscus105:
No single one and stop saying not everyone

If you have been meeting weak / innocent men before, a day is coming that you will meet wolf in sheep clothing man, that one would break your defense (maturity) and enter you completely.

A wise saying, what u dnt want to eat dnt dear smelling it. Several of such are happening in real life.

I am afraid I don't follow! What has the having of mental maturity to do with the meeting of weak/innocent men or women? Are you under some delusion that mental maturity is somehow dependent on characteristics of individuals you run into on a regular basis or something?

And this so-called saying you claim has wisdom to it, what does it have to do with this topic or anything at all?

You women are weird sha.

It's easier to sleep with a woman by becoming her friend than by coming out as a lover.

It was only recently that I discovered that these women get really hurt when you decide not to be friends with them after they decline your offer of a relationship.

Why the need to have a close male friend who isn't your partner?

E no make sense.

I have a rule; regardless of the bond or memories we used to share as friends of the opposite sex, once you get married, I tone down communication between us to the barest minimum. It's a hard choice but I'd rather not see myself as the man who ruined another man's home.

About about being close friends with already married women, that's another big NO for me. We are humans with feelings and emotions, not pre-programmed robots. Women especially tend to fall for someone who's always there to listen and be a shoulder to lean on and all that stuff. I've had several instances where I've had to subtly and politely decline a close friendship with married women. Your husband's shoulders should be more than enough for you to lean on. And if you have problems, get a therapist. Muchísimas gracias

My gee ya doing well

If you think you know how to write, there are people who know how to read exact meaning too .

First thing you did was to attack her about her being born again,
2. You also said, being born again, her spiritual antennas should tell her direction. Apparently to dodge Satan, i.e, for her to almost fallen for sexual immorality.

Lastly, you narrated your own encounter, inside church, (not disco house o)..... about a particular lady wanted to commit such sin,in which ur spiritual antennas saved u by keeping her at bay! "What do all these references mean sir"?........this is spiritual antenna (discerning spirit)
you projected that all born again should possess, which you latter confirmed in ur right up you had ooo.

2, let say u didnt even say that, if you are not yet born again as u latter affirmed, which moral ground did you have to attack woman who born again but tempted? wen she has not even fallen into temptation?

You guys should learn how not to attack, attack, attack , ......too judgemental, most especially wen it comes to female gender, as if you are better of, nobody holy past oooo

From her write up, you dnt pick any lesson, salute her courageous, ....that she quickly applied break, but you choose to criticize and narrated how u dodged ur own bullet as if you are holy............

I commented on ur previous comment not because of u in particular but general public, go back and read my comment again and again since u are under delusions, I think by now your eyes would have been cleared enough to read my comment clearly, I didn't pity ur type o, since you derailed more than repair already, I pity innocent which ur foolish opinion will derail as well.

Go back and re-read post from OP, I wasn't OP, she is a woman whileI am a man, if you read properly or better give it for who knows how read and interpret exact meaning for you, you will learn one or two lessons from it.

NB, in my previous. Comment, I talked about , either weak man or innocent man, I meant weak man who didn't know how to break any maturity you think u can display, or innocent who not ready for sexual immoral act with u.
Wolf in sheep clothing (player), will not only break ur defense but also commit nonsense with married women.
You might have been have a field day before, a day is coming that "monkey go go market,wey ehn no go come back again"
hundreds of it are happening on daily basis

Damage Control.

Lie that you didn't imagine you two sleeping with each other? Now, you are forming sister Mary.

Any man or woman that find it easier to be friend with married opposite sex is a cheat.

No matter how close we are, once you get married, I will completely cut you off except if you have business to do with me or want to ask something about my profession.

Read very well, she acknowledged this herself, if not the man that first started withdrawing himself, they might have had sex and find it difficult to stop. She is very luck that this happened because if she continues with the said man, and the husband find out and send her packing, she will have herself to blame.
