Do I confess?

[cathkidstonbag]

have finally managed to break free from an EA with someone I know realise has NPD. It has gone on for 5 months and whilst we've never met (since last seeing him 10 years ago) it has been very intense. Very intimate discussions and exchanging of photos etc. I am horribly ashamed of what I have done and really can't even see why I was so stupid, all I can say is he played me so well - one minute bombarding me with texts, the next ignoring me for some supposed slight. I never knew where I was and think I became somewhat addicted to the thrill of it - so stupid :(
Should I confess to my DH of 21 years? Our marriage has been somewhat rocky but lately seems to be going so well. I know it would destroy him, he would never forgive me. But the guilt is burning inside me night and day, I hate what I've done, hate the way I've behaved.
I think I'm safe from OM ever telling my DH but I can't be sure, he has shown himself to be nothing like who I thought he was and even though he is also married he is already seeing someone else.
So is keeping quiet the best way? Or confess and the inevitable divorce and it's impact on my 3 dc? And yes I know I should have thought about them when I was doing this :(

All you need to do is 'block' him on FB and he won't be able to see anything of yours. You can possibly delete your friend request as well - I think if you view all your friends list, his name'll be on it but 'awaiting confirmation' and you can just delete it off.

But I'd just block the bugger. Then you won't be able to see him and he won't be able to see you. It's an option to the left, at the bottom on the person's profile page under the bit where photos of their friends come up: 'report/block this person'.

It doesn't mean you report them as well, btw, it just brings up an option box, one of which is to block.

Springydaffs - seduced my heart. Yep he did :( And then he jumped up and down on it :( And giddiness explains it very well - it was like being offered some fabulous Belgian choccies after years of crap advent calendar type chocolate, only instead of getting fat I got sad!
Zikes - thanks for that. Presumably he'll know I've done that because the option to see me will go and he won't be able to find me? Will miss seeing his profile piccy tho, but needs must.

Was feeling much better today but now down again. So many day to day things I used to tell him, all the stuff DH isn't interested in hearing. But I guess OM wasn't either really, just pretended to be :(
