Open relationship, period is late (help!)

Name changed.

TL;DR, I had an open relationship with my husband for about a month, I slept with one person (unprotected, awful I know). He realised he didn't want an open relationship and we were contemplating divorce, but recently decided to try couples' counselling instead and are working on buying a house soon. So far, so good.

However, my period was meant to arrive on the on the 30th Jan - 3rd Feb (usually around that time) and it hasn't arrived. I slept with the other guy about a week and a half ago. How likely is this to just be stress, rather than an unexpected pregnancy? I'm worried that the stress delayed my fertile period. The other man did pull out but he said he "hoped I was on the pill". I took a test a little while back which was negative, but haven't taken one since I slept with the OM. I'm quite scared and I'm putting off taking a test as I'm worried about the results, I'm really hoping my period will come soon and it will just have been because of stress.

Sorry, I don't know if that makes any sense and please try not to slate me too hard. I'm aware I've made some real errors in judgement here.

@MrsKingfisher

I never understand these sorts of threads, no one can tell you only a test can do that. Why do people fanny about talking about maybe being pregnant before even buying a test 🙄

hope you’re doing okay OP, ignore the posters having a go at you, what’s done is done and everything will work out in the end. even if you are pregnant by this other man, it’s not the end of the world and honestly from what you’ve described it does soind like stress could be the culprit behind the late period. sending virtual hugs Flowers

Why in earth would anyone have unprotected sex with a fuckbuddy right after a pregnancy scare with her husband? Or am I missing something that two pregnancy scares in one month is the thing to do?

I get the feeling unless there's a pregnancy the DH is never getting told the sex was bare
