Maggie & Parker had affair and fell in love. Each was in bad long term marriage w/ 2 kids. They live 150 miles apart. Each agreed to leave their spouses, begin divorce & then Parker would move in with Maggie & kids in her town within 2-3 months. They would live there for 1-2 yrs then move to Parker's town so he could be near his kids. Marriage was implied & was important since Maggie had custody of her kids. Maggie left her spouse immed. & was divorced in 5 months. Parker left his wife but stayed in his town, chose not to move in with Maggie until aft. divorced. Maggie waited15 months for him to get divorced. Finally he said he'd move in with her but he feared she wouldn't be able to move back with him because the ex would stop her in court. He said that since he wasn't sure she could move, he would NOT marry or commit to her until she lived in his hometown. What do you think? Is this right? How could Maggie drag her kids 3 hrs to his town when he didn't commit or marry her?

Parker's reason for not getting a divorce sooner was that he didn't want to ruffle his wife's feathers so that he could have maximum access to his kids. However, he ended up giving wife sole custody with every other weekend visitation. Maggie is the custodian of her kids but Parker only has every other weekend visitation rights. Nevertheless he is a loving father and close to his kids. He feels that if he commits to or marries Maggie he will be betraying his kids or telling them that he will never move back.

It sounds like Parker is scared to put his self out there. He is more likely scared that she can't or she won't move to his town like they talked about. It sounds like they really need to sit down and have a heart to heart talk about them and what they are going to do.

Are you kidding? I apologize to Maggie but Parker must be an ******. Maggie took her kids and got a divorce like they said. Parker didn't. Maggie waited for him, for a long time. He never moved to her area. Is she still agreeing to move? If she is then Parker should commit to marry her. If he doesn't well then tell Maggie that Parker has duped her. He never loved her. He has just been using her. Maybe he still loves his wife and wants to be near her. There is no reason why he can't live in Maggie's town indefinately, he can still have visitation time with his children whenvever he wants. Its not too far away. Maggie on the other hand has custody of her kids and it was a huge deal, if you ask me, for her to agree to plan and move her kids to Parkers town just so he wont have to drive so far when he visits with his kids. Parkers a jerk Maggie. Forget the sob. I cant imagine how awful she must feel after everything he has put her threw. Maggie, if you can't see his perpensity to jerk you around, read this. You have been blinded by love. She must have no dignity after all of this. Maybe she had no dignity in the first place to have an affair with him. I dont know who these people are but Parker either never loved her or he is a user.

Maggie needs to find someone who isn't going to bull sh@t her, he is giving her the run around. He thinks she will believe everything he says and as long as she does they will never be together. If he had wanted to be with her he would have moved, it was easier for him to make that move. He knew when he started this how it was going to work out in the end. A learn lesson the hard way for Maggie.

Maggie needs to move on, and yes she is heartbroken. If he wanted to commit to her as he said and didnt, his not in the near future. She needs to move on and leave him behind, she doesnt need him...
Good Luck Maggie

Maggie's been fooled, played...
Maggie did what she had to do to be with this guy and he has not. So called "Love" blinded her and now she is not able to see anything. CONFUSED!!!! I believe that this guy is not willing to do whatever it takes to be with Maggie. He is not willing....hum....this tells me that he has a possibility of getting back with his ex. Maggie? wake up! Sorry to tell you but you've already made your scarifies, and he is not willing to make any...what does this tell you? WAKE UP!
