But I never told my husband that I said “it’s not like I never thought about it.” Now it’s tearing me apart inside and I feel like confessing but I’m afraid of losing everything in my life. Mostly my husband. The love of my life. It didn’t mean anything when I said it. I just kinda... said it. I actually got the saying from a Family Guy episode where Brian confesses his love for Lois. And she says she can’t be with him but it’s not like she’s never thought about it. There was no emotional attachment or anything. Nothing. I felt nothing.
If it was just a one time thing, saying that ? then no I do not believe that is cheating . Now if you kept talking to him then it would be to me a form of cheating .

Have you found a good medication combo that is allowing you to enjoy stability and life ?
