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.

Am I normal?

    I can understand not being in love with your wife and falling in love with someone else. I can understand trying again to make it work with your wife, if that's where your heart lies.

    Wanting affairs and still staying married makes the marriage a sham. Get a backbone. Make a choice and live with it.

    Listen dude, if the girl in Argentina is your soulmate, then you need to seriously think of the option of leaving your wife. But at the same time, you also need to consider the fact that she might not be good for you. Have a talk with her about it.

    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.

    Such a difficult situation you've Gotten your self in. If you believe that your Argentinian Mistress is your soulmate than you should consider leaving your wife. What you did was wrong but there's no use in feeding the negatives. Both you and your wife will be happier if you end it now instead of dragging out a love that no longer exists.

    Being a former pastor and a former Christian, i think you are normal, but a hypocrite and one of the many reasons why millions like myself no longer subscribe to the bullshit that you teach. Be who you are and say what you feel, but trumping 'family' values while doing this is hypocritical. Love is not a feeling, it is an action. It sounds like you may be a sex addict and should seek professional help.

    so you had 6 sexually inappropriate relationships. hmmm. and you have a wife. and you tell her about your mistresses. and you tell her about your soulmate. (for some reason this terribly sounds like tiger wood.)
    i personally wouldnt even care for you if you weren't married, but think of all the vows you made to your wife when you got married to her. of course she's going to be disappointed in you if you talk about "omg i met my soulmate. can i go see her? btw my soulmate is not you". i feel so sorry for your wife. i wish she would be to one to divorce you, and that she would end up with a better man than you.

    Stop being selfish and lying to everyone and lying to your self. If you love this other woman do the right thing and leave your wife.

    If you want to be able to do what you want then who are you to tell other people how to live there lives? Your a hypocrite and you SHOULD step down.

    You know people like you who do not practice what they preach make me so mad. One rule for you and one for everyone else. Religion is a load of bullshit its a means of control and has caused more bloodshed and suffering than anything else MAN invented. Every person should live there own lives in the best way they can and not listen to moronic bullshitters like you.

    You make me sick truly. Not because you are unfaithfull but because your a person who dictates to others how they should live there lives but does not apply it to himself.

    That is so not normal! You're saying that you had to explain to God what you're doing, but surely if you believed in God and had any religious values whatsoever you would not be doing anything as such as even being 'sexually inappropriate' with anyone else.
    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.

    It's pretty straight forward...If you're no longer in love with your wife, then a divorce would be a pretty smart option for you. I don't see why you'd stay with your wife, and continue on hurting her, when you're in love with someone else. It's unfair to her, and it's unfair to your soul mate...to be honest, you're just being incredibly selfish. And to continue lying about it is obviously completely pointless.

    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.
