First time poster, long time lurker. I've been married for 10 years with 3 children. About 2 months ago I began an emotional affair with a man who is also married. It was a case of infatuation on both our parts, with both of us really enjoying each other's company. It turned physical both never progressed to full sex. It ended about two weeks ago with both of us agreeing it could never go anywhere. Since it finished I've been racked with guilt and confessed it all to my husband two nights ago, I thought I was doing the right thing, giving him the choice of whether he wanted to stay with me or not. We talked it over and over and he at the moment seems happy to stay together and try to make it work. However after the initial relief that he was so understanding I'm struggling with the fact that I don't know if I want to stay with him. Even though I was happy before I met the other man I feel he opened my eyes to a new world and feelings that I haven't felt in years and now I just feel depressed at the thought of having to say put and make my marriage work and more guilt since my husband has been so understanding. Any advice appreciated.
