During a quiet time alone today I posted some things regarding my personal life and very quickly realized, through the post of many online people the direct pain I was causing throughout the lives of people I have affected. For quite some time I viewed my actions and my words as nonchalant and I felt that the idea of me doing whatever I wanted to whoever I wanted was the absolute best way to go in life.

Today I posted a thread regarding women who cheat on their husbands and the men who they cheat with. I have been a part of this life a few times and I truly regret EVER wasting time and engaging in behaviors that I should not have been. Deep down I have been single for several years and am a lonely person. And in a way I was engaging in relationships with married women to fill a gap in my own life. I was looking for acceptance and was hoping taken women would want me. I was wrong to think this way and to act upon my thoughts.

I realized today, with the help of the people in this forum that I shouldnt be wasting my time but instead should be looking forward to the future and should be working towards a healthy, fulfilling relationship of my own. I realize now that my words and actions have the potential to destroy homes and lives of the people within them. I want to thank the people in this forum for their help and for assissting me to see things correctly. Running wild with a self-destructive attitude and causing others pain and discomfort is not the way to live life. I have realized we must strive to be the type of people we want to attract. I personally want to be morality filled and want to have nobility as well. This is life and thank you for reading. I do apologize if I hurt or offended anyone in my earlier post.

Self-examination is a sign of maturity. When I look back on things I did or said to people in my past sometimes, I cringe inside.

Hallmark of self awareness and maturity - the ability to see what we have been doing and change it. Congrats. This is a big thing.

Well said.
Nobility of spirit and actions is what a man can do to gain the respect of others. Being venal and base in thought and deed brings nothing. That is not to say you have to be perfect or without problems. It just means you strive to do what is right in the sight of your fellow man.

Good luck and good wishes.
