Q: Biggest Mistake of My Life (affair)
asked by: notsosure on October 19th, 2005

I had an affair with with my friends wife while I was going thru my divorce. I could not stop the feelings I had for her, in addition to knowing she was being mentally and physically abused. Four months went by and we got caught and all hell broke loose. She is now divorced with four children and trying to re-build her life. In the mean time I found somebody else and we have broken off the relationship. She has excepted it and is moving on. We occasionally keep in touch too see how things are going in each others life. The big problem is I am living with a extreme amount of guilt over the whole affair and am not sure how to deal with it anymore. I have broken up a family, and even though it was just as much her decision as mine to get involved and maybe it was better for everyone, it still was not my place or time to determine that. What can I do? I am becoming very depressed over this not sure if I need medication and counseling or ???

What to Do
What you did was wrong, and you feel guilt because of it. With guilt, happiness eludes you. You are lucky, you can be happy again. You should seek counseling, find god, ask for forgiveness from him and the man/woman/family you destroyed. It will take time but you will be forgiven someday and then happy again.

Don't let it happen again.

Think Before Acting
You should feel guilty. You did help break up a family. And it was your friend's family. You need to think before acting. Like ironman said, ask for forgiveness. You will be forgiven. Counseling would be a good idea. At least you do have a conscience. Just dont act so hastily in the future. She should have gotten out of the abusive relationship anyway, but not in the way it come about. Good luck.
