Please talk me out of having an emotional affair.

[LikeIcan]

Can't be bothered to n/c

Marriage crap most of the time, I know that's no excuse so please talk sense into me.

Yes absolutely, I will look into that as I know I'd benefit from a little outside help. You know it's funny, this is nothing to do with sex, It's the emotional attachment I'm craving.
Anyway, I'd better get some sleep.
Thank you for talking it through with me Offred.

Wishing you a good night's sleep!

I think you need to look at the reason why the affair is happening. I had a emotional affair, another man made me realise that I was lonely with dh, dh never complemented me, never took me out and we had hardly anything in common. I left dh and then ended up sleeping with the man, it lasted a few weeks but turned out the other man was not looking for a relationship despite giving that impression at the time. I don't regret leaving dh though, I left him because of the reasons above but not because I fancied someone else.

Either:

a) cut all contact with this man, get counselling and work on your marriage; or
b) leave your husband.

There is no third choice.

You say that despite the lack of emotional attachment you love your husband. Really? In which case, stop behaving like a lovesick teenager and work at your marriage. It is not fair on your husband to do what you are doing and I doubt you'd like it if the shoe was on the other foot, would you?

Don't give me that "it's not easy to leave" shit, either.

Wake up and smell the coffee and stop being so fucking weak.

That do for trying to talk you out of it?

Be a decent person here - treat others the way that you would want to be treated..

Well said
