My Lover's Wife Is OK With Our Affair

Dear Mona,

I have fallen hopelessly in love with another man. His wife knows and has been supportive since the initial shock. In fact, she's suspected his orientation for quite a while. She also really likes me because I am a decent guy with a good job and very responsible―a good boyfriend I suppose... The wife has become kind of a confidante and she says her marriage is more like "best friends with benefits." She has actually been quite nice about this, but I think she is a little bit jealous and insecure. I don't want to break up a marriage, but I would sure like to be closer to this guy. Do you think it is possible?

I know it seems strange that she's trying to push you too together, but take her gestures at face value. She's not the confidant you think she is! (read more)
