Secrets, Part 5

I haven't done one of these in years, but it just struck me today to put a post up. If you have something weighing on you that you'd like to get out, post it here!

Maybe I'm just feeling a little secretive today?

Do you think you'll tell anyone else, or keep it under your hat indefinitely?

Neither of our SOs would ever forgive us if they knew. Neither would our mutual friends.

While cheating might have been a mistake, isn't the real problem if now you are enjoying your partner's affection knowing that they wouldn't necessarily consent to give it to you under these conditions? That seems ethically unacceptable and no solution at all.

This is 110% correct. I should fess up and be dumped. But I'm a coward and don't wanna lose my partner.

Do you still communicate with your affair partner, or have you cut ties? Do you regret what happened?

Sorry for asking questions... I guess I'm curious about your mindset regarding your affair vs your current relationship. Of course, you have no obligation to answer!

You ask good questions. I should stop talking about this here, but I kinda owe you an answer. Even anon, this is cathartic.

Since we broke it off we've seen each other socially, occasionally. We're not gonna let ourselves be alone together ever again. Neither of us wants to lose our partners or make the other lose theirs.

I regret not regretting it.

(By socially I mean, at social gatherings. Not one on one.)

I honestly wish you the best. It sounds like a really complicated situation.
