I know that I have been completely in the wrong and am not expecting any sympathy from anyone - I know that a lot of people will have been on the opposite end of this and been devastated.
I have just ended an emotional affair and wanted to know if anyone had any tips on surviving, staying strong and moving on. I have seen a number of similar posts in the past and was wondering how the OPs were feeling a few weeks/months on?
I am committed to rebuilding my marriage and addressing my propensity to bad decision making.
I have had some counselling in the run up to ending it and have been advised that making a clean break from this person will be like a loss with a grieving period, but I'm overwhelmed with sadness that this person won't ever be part of my life again, disgust at myself and confusion about the future.
I've decided not to tell my husband - I know that some people will disagree with me on this - there is no way of him finding out and I don't want to hurt him. if you've made a similar decision, how did you go about addressing the issues within your relationship that led to you feeling like there was a gap which you decided to fill with the affair?
Thank you in advance...
