    Depends on what qualifies as "Grounds" in the state where you live . Sounds like a pretty crappy thing to do. But why stay if you are not loved . Just seems like selling  your self short . Surely you are worth more than that . Think about this he is saying I have found my soul mate (what ever that means ) and its not you . Take that crap to the curb and leave it there . Get on with life with some one who wants to be by your side . Stop playing second string . There are others here who might have other opinions and you should consider them as well. I am not qualified to be offering life changing advice and I wish to make that quite clear. What I have put down here is just a opinion  and nothing more . So I wish you good luck with your decision and may all finish well . Some people are just to blind to see and appericate what they have .       Bill

    very good advice bluesman

    Get over him, get the divorce, wish him well and be happy on your own..........

    too bad we cannot find our soulmate before we get married.  good luck.

    Some of us just got lucky. ( sigh)

    I would hope the wife would file for divorce and avail herself of every benefit available, leaving him with every expense possible.  Yes, for spite, but also for survival.  She may have been a homemaker with no "paid occupation".
    The "soulmate" needs to take a good, long look at Mr. Wonderful.  That saying about  when the mistress becomes the wife, she leaves the old position vacant (or something like that) has merit.  Some people just can't be monogamous or faithful.  
    The married man is disgusting.  Few people "stumble" upon a relationship and declare it "soulmates" without some time passing.  This is an affair. May it rot in hell.

    I KNOW THATS RIGHT. I TOTALLY AGREE

    Sounds like you are better off without him.If you weren't his soulmate then why did he marry you in the first place.Let him go,he will quickly realize how much his soulmate is worth & you can get on with your life.

    Dumb question, NO. It's called infidelity. Time for the man to grow as set and leave the wife if he really found his "Soul Mate" or is it just a boinking buddy?

    Ok so he leaves, wife is stuck with rent,utilities...??

    So if I understand this "growing a pair " here means to forget your vows ,go back on your word ,and take up with some one who has better lingerie . The wife gets hurt in many ways and that's just her problem ????? How can it be so easy to have callus disregard for someone ? 3 lives in the balance and the outcome starts with not keeping your word and causing pain to someone .Respectfully I don't understand your logic .

    She should initiate the divorce first, get a lawyer and sue him for alimony that would pay for rent and the utility bills. He should also pay for some part of heat and food.

    Bluesman, could you stay with a spouse who takes up with another? I couldn't. I would as colleen said, divorce the unfaithful, vow breaking louse and get on with your life. A light and heat bill is a sorry excuse for not leaving. I'm not familiar with any scripture that says you must tolerate a cheating partner. If you do , please share that with me. Thanx for your comment though.

    I think I agree with you maybe I am reading too much into your answer . No need for her to be sticking around. This is both sad and wrong in many ways .

    funny, I was thinking of the subject "soulmate" last night and lately. I found my soulmate not to long ago... No I will not leave someone that I'm already committed with just because I've  found a better person,i.e. soulmate. If we meant to be together, we'll be together someday. God's will, not mine.

    nope.....thats just wrong.

    Unfortunately we live in a disposable society where marriage vows mean nothing anymore. To say he found his soulmate means nothing, for I dont believe anyone that comes up with an excuse like that, cant have a soul.. He cant force you to get a divorce, but he might start the divorce proceedings himself.. Before he does, you schould take him for everything you can get. He deserves no mercy.

    100% agree with you Ann

    If he/she will do it "WITH YOU"......he/she will do it "TO YOU".  Think twice, my friend.

    Does finding your "soul mate" have anything to do with having sex?  Do people find their  "soul mates" just by having a conversation or going for a coffee, or taking a stroll?  I'm just asking because I've always wondered about that.

    Ducky, I suspect in this case it does, trouble is he may find another soul mate, ..then another,this person isn't worthy of being trusted let alone loved

    lambshank: All God's creature is worth loving. We're all want to be loved and feel worthy.If we can put a value on each individual-- PRICELESS!!

    In the State of MD You can file for an absolute divorce for known infidelity-YOURS.  Of course the Better question is why your wife would want to stay married to you knowing that you have been cheating on her and have fallen in love with that person???

    pej

    she stays perhaps because she sees his worth to keep for another day, another year/years? Or because she hopes he'll change or it'll get better. She stays in FAITH that all things will work eventually.

    In the State of MD you can ask for an immediate divorce for infidelity (yours).  This usually only has minimally poorer outcomes for you financially- and is considered amongst several other financial/marital aspects in determining the outcomes.  A better question is why would your wife want to stay married to you knowing you are having an affair and have fallen in love with this other woman?

    If she knew that you had found your so-called soul-mate, you would not have to force her to divorce you! You've got to realize that she has not found her soul-mate yet, so give her a break and let her divorce you as an adulterer and move on.
