I’m aware I may lose a lot of followers with this thread. I’m not as bad a person as it will makes me out to be, and despite how it reads, I have incredible respect for my wife. However, I need to get this off my chest, because I feel too many people on here give me a kind of...
...respect I don’t deserve. Anyway, here goes. Last August 24, a date I’ll remember until my dying breath, I was having drinks and watching the third Seahawks preseason game with a friend. His wife, who I’ve known forever, came home from work, & was clearly not in the mood...
...for guests. It was warm, and she sat outside with her book and wine. Near the end of the game, she came inside, and I asked her about the book she was reading. She told me it was based on a man’s struggle to understand his depression...
... I’ll be honest, I was feeling VERY depressed at this point in my life. She let me read a chapter, and I was enthralled. I bought the book that night and offered to talk with her about it. There was no nefarious motive, I’d known her for at least 8 years, we were friends...
...I bought the book, and as hooked. It was exactly the story I needed to hear and I couldn’t wait to talk with her about it. We decided (stupidly) to bounce our feelings and thoughts off one another, and did so for about two weeks. Two weeks of growing closer, and talking daily.
During this time our feelings grew stronger, and we found it harder and harder not to be talking. We fell in love. Then started an emotional and then physical affair that lasted until the end of October, when her husband found out. It was at this point we decided to end it...
...I’ve never felt as happy or loved as I did during that short time. A feeling I know will never return. I love her still, and I will love her forever.
Anyway, this is my truth. The pain and guilt of what I did consumes me daily, and it’s something I deserve. I try to make it
