My Name is Mark and I found my soul mate. I want it ALL
My job allows me to travel a lot. My wife found out that I have been having an affair and told me to stop it immediately. I tried to get her to give me permission to keep seeing this other woman and instead of letting me, she kicked me out of the house until I "came to my senses".
I told my wife that I broke it off with my mistress in Argentina, but I lied and was visiting her anyways. When I got back, I had to explain to just about EVERYBODY - God, my wife, lots of people in my home state and basically the world - just what the heck I was doing. I told some bible stories to excuse my behavior and told everyone that I would try and fall back in love with my wife, even though I also told everyone that my soul mate is in Argentina and when I was in Argentina I cried and cried the whole time.
I also have been sexually inappropriate with 6 other women, but I didn't have actual sex with them like I did with my soul mate in Argentina.
I have a job where I am in the public eye and I use my position to tell other people to stick to family values and to go to church and be true to the Lord. Now people are saying I am a big fat hypocrite and I should step down. I said, NO WAY and that all those haters should learn to forgive and let me continue to do what I want.

And if you're Mark Sanford, I don't know how important your career is to you, but if it is, I suggest going with your wife if you're keeping to "family values". Career or love, its your choice. But yes, this is normal. Men find other women all the time.
And if you're Mark Sanford again, you shouldn't be taking people's advice over 'is it normal' and then leaving clues like you had an affair with this woman from Argentina, six other women, had to tell the people of your home state and "the world" and your name is Mark.
I'm Canadian, but I hope it works out.

Wanting affairs and still staying married makes the marriage a sham. Get a backbone. Make a choice and live with it.
"He gave her a flower. She gave him her life. When it's over, He lost a flower. She lost her life."
It's clear that you do not respect, nor love your wife, and it's obvious that you don't respect your "soul mate" either. Let your wife move on, she obviously deserves someone better.
You're just selfishly wasting their time. Personally, I don't think you deserve to be with anyone, and it's unfathomable to me as to how anyone would even want to be with you.
Congratulations on becoming another stereotypical mainstream lying, cheating bastard of a husband. Your mother would be proud.
Sorry man just the way it is
you should just listen to your wife! if you don't love her then why dont u just get a divorce?!?!?!!
If you want to carry on doing what you're doing at least have the courtesy to break things off with your wife. I think its obscene and extremely disrespectful; you have a promise to your wife of eternal love, which is obviously a promise been broken.
Seriously, break things off with all of these unlucky women and get yourself some therapy, because you're blatently crazy.
