I had an affair...

My head is a mess.
I have a boyfriend and he has a gf and a young 8 moth old child.
Both in our 30s.
We used to date when we were kids but for that reason it never progressed into anything.
We've always been friends but there was a attraction between us.
Over the two year we started texting each other a lot and you could say we began a emotional affair but both wanted more.
He has fallen out of love with gf.
I don't know details and I never asked.
We cut off contact because we both knew we were getting in to deep.
That lasted two months then he text me and we started talking again.
We kept telling ourselves it's only friendship we are doing nothing wrong.

I think this was because I thought if I tell myself we are only friends I won't be the shitty person I am being.
We slept together and pretty much told each other the score.
I didn't want to hurt my boyfriend and he can't face not living with his child.
He went on to say that it's all just so complicated and can't stand this guilt he feels and neither can I.

I understand and wouldn't expect Him too ever walk out on his child.
His child comes before anything I do know this.
I am in love with him and I know it's no excuse for what I've done.
I never started this on the hope to steal Him away from them.

He isn't a dick.He isn't a cheat.
I don't even know how we got to that point.
Anyway we have cut all contact because it couldn't continue like that.
His family are innocent and didn't deserve that.
I know I have no right to feel hurt but I am.
I do love Him but I won't ever contact him again now.
He lives 5 mins away from me and we have been friends for so many years it hurts like hell.

I'm so angry that we threw away a friendship.
I wish I never acted on how I feel.

I genuinely believe his feelings for me were real.
I feel sick at what I've done.

He is a cheat. So are you.

You're going to need to get your head around those facts, going no contact is the only way to do it, so you've made a good start. Keep it up.

He wasn't your boyfriend. Stay nc. It will get easier as time goes on.

His poor girl friend. Busy with their 8 month old child while he goes out messing around with other women.

And he only won't leave her because of the baby.

Let her know what a cheating git he. I bet she thinks all is fine or is wondering why he is off with her right now. Is it because he is tired? She hasn't lost all the baby weight?

She deserves way better than a life with a cheating lowlife git like this.

Outofmydepth15 · 19/12/2015 14:39

I've never cheated before and I don't think he has.
I just keep thinking if things were different we could of been good together.
Stupid things like wondering if he misses me etc.
It's stupid.

You have also deceived your boyfriend.

Give him to find someone decent too. Whether OM leave his girl friend or not leave your boy friend to find better.

Supermanspants · 19/12/2015 14:43

Dipankrispaneven · 19/12/2015 15:07

Move a long way away to make sure you're completely no contact.

Learningtoletgo · 19/12/2015 15:08

Is this the one where he was having sex with her when his wife/girlfriend phoned and get took the call? I'm getting confused Confused

ShebaShimmyShake · 19/12/2015 15:11

Have you posted a number of threads before about this very same situation?

niceupthedance · 19/12/2015 15:19

You need to find something else to occupy your mind. Counselling?

FairNotFair · 19/12/2015 15:19

Oh dear...

loveyoutothemoon · 19/12/2015 15:23

Has the girlfriend not found out yet? Because she will.

And you still haven't learnt to write properly. Are you five?

rockabillyruby82 · 19/12/2015 15:27

I'm getting tired of these threads now. Don't know if you've posted before or if you're a troll but you need to go away before you upset people with your delusional, selfish, ignorant view on what you've done.
You won't get the advice or support you want here.
But here are some Flowers for your poor bf and his gf

pocketsaviour · 19/12/2015 15:28

Is this best friend's brother thing, again?

If it is, didn't you claim last time that he raped you?
