Should you be allowed to start a new life? Or would you even want to?

Okay. You've been sent to a new country by your husband and he was supposed to come join you so you can start a new life together. It's now been years and you haven't seen or heard from him. You fall in love with another man and want to start a relationship with him but are technically still married to your 'husband'. What would you do? Start a new life or would you want to continue to wait for your husband when you don't even know if he's still alive?

  1. Wow thats hard...I think I would wait for my husband a little longer and if he didnt show up then i would start my new life. So i could try to get over him, some things in life might be hard but you just have to go through them anyway to make it in life.

  2. I would want to get to the bottom of his supposed disappearance before I decide on any other relationship outside my marriage. It would also depend how well I know him, if I knew him well enough to know he would never abandon me, then some how some way I would find him. I wouldn't just sit around waiting for him to come, since he was expected to come years ago.

  3. WOW! This is very difficult! I would want to hope for the best, that he is still alive and searching for me. But what are the odds that you will find each other again? Along with this you have found a man who will take care of you and you fall in love with him too. As hard as it would be to get over your husband I would probably move on and have a new life because the positives outweight the negtives. Hopefully everything would work out for the best.

  4. This would be a hard situation, my solution would depend on the circumstances surrounding what happened prior to me being sent away, of course.. BUT! If it had been years since my husband had tried to contact me, I think I would have to move on with life, because it seems like my husband had moved on with his in this predicament.
    However, I would feel guilty at first.. not knowing the actual reasons behind not contacting me for so long, but as time would go on, I would be okay with my decision.

  5. So what if after you start a new life with a different man and have a family your husband finally comes? What would you do? Your still married to this man but you have a life and family with another...

  6. I would wait for my husband another year and then if he does not come then I would go off with this other man. If my husband came back then that would be difficult. I would most likely try to move away from my husband with my family that I had now.

  7. I would probably not wait simply because if you have fallen in love with another man are you truly still in love with your husband? Besides when they husband sends his wife away is it because he goes to war or something or just to get rid of her? If he went to war or something I might wait a little longer in hopes that he would still be alive but if he sent me away on purpose, who cares where he is or what he is doing?
