    thanks for all your help so far, some things that have happened are making a bit more sense now that I have read a little about your religion. I see now why there were to many issues for us to continue to be together.

    Well, it's probably a GOOD thing for you that this person is out of your life. If you spend time here you'll hear many sad tales of JW/NonJW relationships. Life is too short to mess with those who are brainwashed in the WTS cult.

    I wish you well,

    Welcome to the forum, unknown. You might want to hang out a bit and do some reading around here. We have some interesting topics floating around, and they will give you a better view on the JW religion.

    Do you think a devout JW would really have a romantic affair with a married individual?!

    No, I actually lived this... I saw it happen about a dozen times in three different congos.

    This problem is rampant.

    I dont think... I know that this happens as that is exaclty what has happened here. I ended my marriage for this person, but they have since taken off saying they couldnt handle the guilt. What I didn't know was wether it was the guilt of being part of the reason for a marriage split or wether it was because of religious beleifs, although clearly by what has been said so far of your religion, we broke some pretty big rules.
