Being the other woman

Not really sure if I’m looking for advise or reassurance, either appreciated. Sorry for the long post.

I’ve had a few ONSs & if I’m comfortable with a guy I’ll go for it. A few weeks ago I was out and met up with a guy who was a bit older than me. He seemed really nice & was good looking to.

We’d been talking for over an hour when he asked if I wanted to go back to and I went for it. When we were talking he told me him & his wife had been divorced for over 2 years and he was totally single. I’d specifically made sure when he offered to buy me a drink.

The next morning just as I was about to leave who should turn up but his wife, not divorced but had been seeing family and come home earlier than he thought.

She was obviously distraught and furious and understandably told me to leave (the only the thing I wanted to do). But somehow she managed to find me on Facebook and asked me about what happened that night.

I told her what went on and that he told me he’d been divorced for years. As well as saying how sorry I was.

I still feel awful that this happened and blame myself even though I had no idea.

Am I at fault here or is there something I should have done differently?

Also, if the wife does decide to divorce him (she said she might) would I need to be involved in the process. (I don’t know how these things work and just want to move on)

@OldFan

I'm so sorry, that's horrific Flowers

@JustGraduated - the concern is that you’re having ONSs with strangers. It’s possible to have ONSs with men who are not strangers.

Or - if they are strangers - only go with them on public transport or in a taxi and only use hotels. That way, you ensure that you’re seen with the man in question and he will also know that you’ve been seen together.
