two married people having an affair

Please do not judge me. I just started an affair with a married man. I am married too. (not intimate for 11 years) In my relationship I thought I would feel guilty cheating but I don't. Instead I feel fine but, the guy I had the affair with feels guilty. He's kind of backed off from me. Why would he do that? I just don't understand we both enjoyed our time together. I would like it to continue. I don't want a permanent committment just some attention.

One indication would be that he's married and would like to stay married.
Leave him alone! If you're looking for an affair then go out and seek out someone who is not attached and has marital obligations.

@djjd62,
Believe it or not I have one too. I have just been unhappy for so long but I have too much to loose by leaving my husband.

Like what? What state do you live in and how long have you been married? And why does your loveless marriage have to do with seeing other married people?

Being unhappy is not worth whatever it is you have to lose. You're cheating yourself out of a quality life. Why would you do that? Is your husband unhappy, too?

You are married and so is he. You are in a loveless marriage - but he may not be.
He is probably haivng second thoughts about your relationship and really does not want to lose his wife.

You need to get out of this loveless marriage and find yourself a single, available man to have a relationship with.

@sheliacat,
Sheliacat,

I wouldn't advocate anyone stay in an unhappy marriage.

Say there are children involved - what are you teaching them by staying? That it's okay to be miserable your whole life?

Do you really think you are unaffected in other ways by your unhappiness? (possible examples : bitterness, fights, blaming, depression, jealousy of happy people, health issues, lethargy, no motivation at work, don't want to think anymore)

There are other reasons I can think of for not leaving.

Just remember that everyone has different circumstances in their lives, have learnt different lessons, and want different things. Look after yourself and make a life worth living, one that you can be happy with, and proud of (it's possible). And don't lose sight of what others want or need either. And still go about making your life what you truly want it to be.

@CalamityJane,
It is hard to mantain an affair but I said it is better when both parties are married, because it takes a lot pressure of what ever is happening.. but both have to be guilt free and sometimes it is so good that no guilt is there for either person.. So I suggest find another married man that has no guilt.. If he feels this guilty he should not be cheating!

@CalamityJane,
What's over your head Calamity Jane? Rican kitty makes perfect sense (although a little guilt can make an affair a bit more exciting).

It is interesting how shocked, shocked! people are that humans have affairs. This is part of human nature and there are all sorts of reasons that people don't want to break up a marriage.

People on these threads are such prudes.

@maxdancona,
I am certainly not a prude, max, but I am not willing to sell myself short,
nor would I expect the same from my spouse. Sure, there are many reasons
why people have affairs - bottom line is though that there is something missing in their marriage if they do seek excitement someplace else.

I am catholic, I have enough guilt for two lifetimes, I don't need an affair for that Very Happy

@CalamityJane,
Maybe an affair would help with that.
