I would like to provide some input. Imlin is right and I need to hear the tough love that is being shared in Imlins post. No, I have not slept with anyone but the temptation was on me in a bad way. A very attractive woman was constantly contacting me over a several week period who is not getting "satisfaction" from her H and thought with our sitch that we could "comfort" each other. I remembered that God has told us not to fight from temptation but to run from it. The reason is that He will not allow us to be tempted more than we can handle but I should never have agreed to communicate with this woman. It almost led to infidelity on my part.

I am not better than you. I was so close to giving in and I am glad I didn't because, like you, I would have trouble dealing with it and would find it difficult to focus on the real problem. In fact, I told this woman that if she loves her husband she needs to get his attention in a positive manner because sleeping with another man that is not her H is going to do nothing but possibly end her marriage. Honestly, she did not care because she wanted to have the affair with me anyway but that is not my problem. I told her what she needed to hear and what I needed to say and that is allowing me not to have regrets.

Do not torture yourself for what you did. Ask for forgiveness, He will give it to you and do not allow yourself to be in that sitch again. You are His child and He wants the best for you. He loves you so let it go once you give it to Him.

This sin is best left to die and not to cause more harm than it has to you. Trust me when I say that guilt like that does not come from Him and our enemy would like nothing more to use this against you and your H.

I am praying that God can give you strength and that you can let it go.
