I'm not sure what I got out of it, to be honest. Some good advice about the last resort. I even did a phone consultation with a DB staffer. But my relationship from them wasn't meant to be.
This time, I'm hoping I can turn things around for real. The woman I've been with for the last two years is the ONLY person I've ever been with that receive unanimous, jubilant approval from everyone in my life. She is smart, generous, loving, and fun. And I'm deeply ashamed about my actions. Yes, I have some old wounds I'm still working through. Wounds that make me seek outside myself for affirmation.
I'm working with a therapist on changing those habits. With his help, I was able to end the affair a few months ago. And now that I'm ready to commit and put that all behind me, the affair has just now come to light, and I'm paying the price.
