Is a very short affair with no consequences possible?

[MelGee]

What would be the consequences of a very brief affair with someone who you had no connection with, no mutual friends and live far away from? Could it be done without consequence or am I living in cloud-cuckoo land?

It is a really sad and quite dark thread.

I was more optimistic about love and trust before I read it!

Anyone trying to justify it or say 'people lie all the time' or 'sex is meaningless' - well you are all just sad assholes. I hope you all get what you deserve which is another version of yourselves...

I think I'll stay on the side of decent, lovely people! You know the ones who are just loyal, kind, respectful of those closest to them like their family, their kids, and the person who is by your side that you are supposed to love. That world. It's much better.

The consequences will be that once it has happened you will have turned your marriage into a lie, and even worse your partner won't know it. Everything you take will be stolen, everything you give will be founded in lies, any consent your partner gives will be tricked out of them by deception, and you will either be tormented by remorse over this, or (even worse) you will find you are the sort of person who isn't.

Don't betray trust. Nobody wins.
