Mu, I thin sharing that was a very powerful and strong move and shows that you are more in control of your actions than you know. Many of us have had similiar experiences, it's only natural to want that connection with another person. We all have that desire to connect with others and have our emotional needs met.
Last year I had my own similiar experience with a friend me and W both share. She was texting me and the only other woman in real life that has seen and empathisized with the pain I was going through. She actually cared about me and what W was doing that hurt me. I learned later she was having problems in her marriage and I seen the slippery slope that could have occurred if I didn't control myself. Nothing ever happened but it could have easily. I don't speak to this friend that much anymore becaudd of this and also because she is so close to W still.
We're all human and we all have needs mu, it didn't make us any less and I'm glad you shared.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
