Dr. Stephen if I'm staying in a relationship where I am the third party and there are children involved from the other side, is it normal that I don't feel guilty? Or should I feel guilty as I can break this family apart? Or am I being just being too selfish??
Dr. Stephen Fofanoff: "Why are you staying in the relationship? How did it start? Families take all forms, but should never include deception or lies to keep them together. Personally, I wouldn’t settle for a relationship where I was a secret. Does everyone know about you and accept you in the family? If not, then you have to ask the question of why you would want to live a lie? It’s a lose-lose situation and sooner or later you will be hurt by it. I always go back to the Golden Rule: Put yourself in the place of each of the other people in the situation (your partner, their partner, the children….) what would you honestly want in that situation, how would you want to be treated? Do that. And always do it with honesty. "
