I am 46 year old male. Married and having 2 kids – my daughter is 4 years old and my little one is 4 of months!

MY wife is a wonderful person. Touchwood I have a wonderful family. I got married in 2013.

I used to know a girl (she is single, 32 yrs old living in a different country) for the last 8 years . She lives in a different country. We met in a seminar and became friends- very good friends. In the last 8 years- we met 2 times- both during a conference. But we were in regular touch on social networks. But we were good friends from long distance. There was a time when she was in trouble – I tried to help her out as much as I could from the distance. Before I got married – I had even proposed her to marry me – she had wanted but her parents didn’t allow her to leave them and to stay far away in a different country.

We never discussed anything that might lead to cheating my wife or so. We were more like buddies.

In March 2017- I made a plan to go for vacation with her - since she was very upset with her uncertain future- and also she had no one to guide her properly- as her real well wisher.

I hid this from my wife- told her that I was going for a business meeting. We stayed in 2 separate rooms – we used to roam around to all the happening places but without touching each other. She knew about my family and always praised for me for being a good husband and father.

The vacation was for 5 nights. When we parted at the airport- she hugged me hard and whispered me that she had started loving me and she kissed me for the first time.

Ever since I returned to my country- she used to cry over phone and was crazy to meet me soon again. I wont deny my feeling for her grew and same was from my end too.

Eventually after one month of the first vacation- I made a plan to meet her again and chose a third country for the meetup. This time it was more physical and full of love. We didn’t spend even 5 minutes without each other. Love grew and we both fell in deep love.

After this 2nd vacation- she insisted me to get married to her- which I had declined. Its not like that she is a greedy girl- her love was real and I could understand it.

For reasons or for no reasons I used to fight with her so that I could forget her. Blocked her on social networks many times—but couldn’t forget her. After few days I myself unblock her and miss her! She doesn’t want to marry me anymore but its me who is now madly in love with her. She is in my mind 24X7. She is a strong girl- she eliminated that love thing from her mind that she had for me. Now she talks to me like just good friends. My problem is I cannot treat her as my friend anymore. When we talk – I cross the limit and she stops me from getting too intimate.

My wife loves me a lot- I love my wife too. I love my kids – but I love her too! I know its wrong ..its a sin --- please advise how can I forget her or start living without her happily with my own family. I am very depressed these days. She has moved on! But its me who is struggling to move on.
I know what I did was wrong- but my heart is not following my logics! Please help! I am in very bad shape now. I am spending time with my kids and wife - yet there I am missing her. I must admit- those vacations were the best days of my life! it was full of happiness and joy! Please help.

@arian99,
These situations are all too common and well-meant responses often seem trite. The good things are that at least she's moved on and that you know you made a mistake.

It will take time to get over this. I'd suggest you use that time to develop interests and skills unrelated to the affair. Learn new things. Take up a hobby. Play online chess. How about piano lessons? There's just no sense in dwelling on a past which can't be changed. You need to develop a self image which doesn't include this woman — you need to fashion a new and improved version of yourself. Think of it as an opportunity, not a tragedy. You can get through this and emerge a better person.

@arian99,
This is going to be harsh. You are probably not going to like reading it.

You need to cultivate better 'best days of your life'. I would think your wedding day and the births of your children would be up there but hey, what do I know?

And I agree with hightor - find something else to occupy your time, your mind, and your thoughts. And maybe spend some time, instead of pining for this woman who has wised up and kicked your sorry ass to the curb, figuring out why you agreed to the first vacation.

Yes, I mean the first one. Because even though you allegedly didn't touch each other, slept in separate rooms, yadda yadda yadda, the fact is that it was a deception and it set the stage for future deceptions. I assume you also didn't tell your wife about your communications with this other woman, and those predated the first vacation but they set the stage for it. So you planned that vacation at least a month or two beforehand (most likely). Hence you've spent the fourth year of your married life on this.

Your younger child was born, by my calculations, in June or July. So when you went on the first vacation, your wife was 5 or 6 months pregnant. And on your second vacation, your wife was 6 or 7 months pregnant. So instead of, I don't know, helping your wife out with your daughter (who was 3 or 4 at the time and they are a lot of work even under the best of circumstances), you dreamed about banging another woman and then you did so.

Become a better husband and father. Occupy your time with those things, if you want to make things work, instead of feeling sorry for yourself that your affair partner shut you down.

You have to WANT to get over her. It sounds like you prefer to keep your head in those vacation (really cheating affairs) days. I hear no remorse or regret or shame about you breaking your marriage vows.

This girl has disrupted your marriage - and then takes off.

She didn't marry you for a reason years ago. I doubt if it was because of her parents.

@jespah,
Dear Jespah,
I am really repenting on my deeds for cheating on my lovely wife. Yes, the vacation was planned at a time when my wife was pregnant. Usually I travel with family! I could have hid my wrong deeds and tried to be a nice guy on the forum- I dont want sympathy on my poor state but harsh advices! I am not proud of my deed - but please consider that I am human. And I do get tempted. Specially when a beautiful girl keeps on asking you for a romantic vacation-
Anyways, I want to bury it and want to become a good loyal husband as I used to be! Presently I totally blocked her from all the places- but believe me sh is still in my mind! I am putting efforts to erase all her memories for the past 2 months - but each morning when I wake up - its her who comes in my mind! Please advise what to do- Harsh comments are welcome!
