LIke shiny I would like to think that I would never cross the line, but the same way she reasons.. I don't know. True it's showing that I am able to recognize boundaries and reaffirm them if needed. But in other circumstances .. would I find myself in the middle of an affair before I had time to even think ? The current thingy.... still I don't think I would go there.

EVen copping with guilt a lot of people continue affairs that aren't even taking them anywhere. Guilt is sometimes a factor. Even though a strange one... they don't feel guilty that they're cheating on us, but they feel guilty that they might have lead the op? Thye're fine with hurting us, but want to avoid hurting the op? I don't know.. any ideas on this? why some people have more trouble than others after realizing they actually are in an affair that they weren't really looking for and it's not particularly fulfilling?
