You have to decide what it is you truly want, OP.

Do you want to stay with your husband who you've been with for years?

Or....

Do you want to leave for a possibility?

True, I once heard someone say that you can't control a bird from landing on your head.

You can however stop it from making a nest.

No, I have an agenda against people like you who obviously don't respect their marriage vows and are dishonest. I feel sorry for your husband or maybe I don't. A lot of men out there deserve people like you because they are idiots themselves.

You are not being very fair.

Op is honest and I believe she wants to fix her marriage. She never slept with the guy and she stopped the relationship before it is too late.

Everybody makes mistakes, people deserve a second chance. NO?

No ****, you said it. I never thought at my age, with three kids and 10 years of marriage I'd ever have feelings for anyone else.

I don't know why I thought myself immune, but I am obviously not. However this guy will always be with me, no other man outside my marriage will ever measure up.

So people deserve to be hurt for being stupid?? I guess I should be thankful I'm not a complete idiot.

You seem like a real mensch, a real peach of a guy.

He hates marriage and only sees women as commodities, don't bother trying to to reason with IC, he's got a huge chip on his shoulder

So, as long as you don't have sex with another person while being married, it is not cheating, right?

I don't want to leave my husband. He's wonderful.

I could see myself with the other guy though if both of us weren't already taken. No matter how hurt I am about this, he truly is a lot of what I would want in a man.

I was angry and mean to him when he said he needed to back off, so I could give him a reason to write me off easier and move on, if he even cares that is. For all I know he never really loved me like he said, but I want to believe he did. I don't want to be the reason he has problems in his marriage.

I seriously can't breathe, I'm bawling my eyes out and I don't know that this feeling will ever go away. I can't tell anyone, I'm all alone in this.

How do you get over someone who you can't hate?
You cheated and you want sympathy because you are in pain?

AWW.........

Imagine the pain you and your cheating friend have caused your spouses.
