@ScarlettBlaize I don't think you can determine someone's psyche from their response on a forum.

yes.
a.) Because I could. It was a challenge.
b.) Yes. Inevitably the affair was found out and the emotional pain of everyone involved was incalculable. Even though I was in my mid thirties at the time I felt I grew up very fast after that.
c.) No. At the time I was so in love with him, but now, 13 years on, I look at him (he's still in my work network) and I can see that the relationship would never have lasted.

A) not an 'affair' as such, but I cheated on my husband because he wasn't very nice, I didn't love him anymore and I was too cowardly to end it the right way.

B) never regretted it for a single second, I was the best thing I ever did.

C) I ended up marrying the man I cheated with, we've been married for five times longer than my first marriage and have three children.
