You have a husband, that is willing to forgive and move on, and I'd presume marriage counseling is something that could be in the cards. There's some well-renowned marriage counselors out there that have the ingredients to help couples who have struggled with affairs.

With that said, I get what Leed means about the potential for this Other Man to drop you, if you were to leave for him. On another side of that, if you did leave your husband for him, and your O.M. isn't the type to go around being the third party to marriages, then there's that remote issue, actually major issue of 'trust'. Would your O.M., be able to trust you, in such a relationship? Wondering, if you wouldn't in turn, pull the same with him?

When there is a lack of trust, like that, there comes the risk of him getting jealous and possessive. And being in a relationship where the other party fears losing you, due to those feelings, isn't a fun one, I can tell you that.

What brought you to this place in life, where you ended up having an affair when your husband is 'one in a million'? Was there something there, that wasn't being met for you? How did you end up meeting with your O.M.?
