I had an online fling with a married woman several years ago. I feel terrible about the whole thing. She basically just used me to fill her day but my own garbage bothers me as well. I should have told her to get lost in the beginning.

Why is it still bothering you after several years? Did it have an effect on a relationship you were in at the time?

I'm sorry you're still having trouble with this. It over and done with. You need to put it behind you. But, if it's interfering with your relationship, then perhaps counseling would help.

I wish I could help more, but I don't know the whole story. Take care, & God bless. Hugs, Lee

could you be a little more specific?
- why do you feel terrible?
- what about your own "garbage" bothers you?

I wasn't in another relationship at the time. But she was married so I feel horrible. She still emails me from time to time.

I suppose I just needed to say this out loud. Thanks for listening.

cheating is never good... someone is always bound to get hurt.
i've been on the giving and recieving end of it and neither felt great.
but i learned something from it and that will keep me from ever participating in something like that again. just as i am sure, given the nature of your regret, is something you will avoid in the future as well. with every mistake there is a lesson to be learned. use that experience to "make" you and not "break" you.

Yeah, according to her she was "leaving" her husband. 5+ years later she is still with him and playing the same victim game she always has. I do feel bad about my part in this and walked away from the torrid exchange a few years back. I still email on occasion but the "torrid" stuff I put an end to.
