After 26 years shall I tell his wife I’m the other woman?

Solve your sex, love & life troubles

TV’s sTeph and Dom parker, 51 and 54, draw on their 20 years of marriage to solve your relationship problems . . .

QWHEN my marriage was on its last legs, I met a man who swept me off my feet. He worked in the airline industry, and we soon started a relationship. He was married, but told me he was waiting to divorce his wife, and as soon as the last of his children was in full-time work, he would leave her.

Life was amazing. We travelled everywhere together. He bought property for us to share and showered me with designer clothes and jewellery.

That was 26 years ago and, at 59, I am still ‘the other woman’. Waiting for his children to grow up became waiting for them to get married, and then when the grandchildren arrived, he said he couldn’t as it would cause too much disruption.

Should I give him an ultimatum? Divorce your wife or I leave? Or tell his wife? I’m not getting any younger. I am so sad about the waste of years.
