I had an affair, it still hurts and I don't know what to do

Hello,

I fell in love with a co-worker a little over a year ago.
I knew she had a husband and a child, but my heart chose it that way.
She actually started it, it started with flirting, then more and more until we met once alone and she kissed me. Then I told her I loved her.

Since then, we met as often as we could, at my place, in the city, or at her place (when her husband was at work).
I found out then that her marriage was a failure, her husband insulted her every day, there was often violence and he pushed and beat her.
She would sometimes run away from home before him.

I wanted to give her a chance for a new start, I asked her to report it to the police and leave him. She said she didn't want to report him, but she definitely wanted to leave him.
It lasted about 4 months, I was waiting for it. But that didn't happen. After these 4 months, she started ignoring me slowly (we see each other every day at work), I was still nice to her, I tried for her, and I was romantic. But she deceived me, after another month she told me that she would not leave him and that we should be friends.

I really cared about her, so I wanted to try to be friends.
But it didn't work out, I felt jealous of him and the fact that he won against me. After everything he'd done to her, she still chose him. And she didn't tell me the truth right away, she just deceived me.
I wanted to take revenge and somehow tell her husband about it, it hurt a lot, I cried practically several times a day, I fell in love with her very much, maybe I'm a little pathetic.
It was close to her husband finding out, but ultimately he still doesn't know anything.
We quarrelled many times, she started accusing me of a lot of things and even attacking me. I stopped believing and hoping that he would come back to me (after some time).

However, here I am, it's been over a year and I still love her and every day when I see her at work I feel this pain in my heart and jealousy. Suddenly she started to love her husband, and she writes about it on Facebook and tells how loved he is.
I also started seeing a psychologist, but it didn't help me much.
I'm trying to change my job, but every day I think about telling her husband everything.
I want to ruin their lovely marriage, but on the other hand, I don't want to hurt her.
I know it will eventually happen and I'll tell him, I feel it. Probably when it hurts so much that I can't take it anymore.

What do you think, did she deserve it?
I don't know what to do to get rid of this feeling.
I've tried dating but it doesn't help.

@adamafet,
She has a child and she wants to stay married. Who are you to ruin her marriage and tell her husband that she had an affair? So you can satisfy your little bruised ego? Grow up and move on!

Look for another job and leave her alone. Stop looking at her facebook and
get your life in order. Yes, it's a hard pill to swallow when you love someone and they don't love you back - happens every day and happens to a lot of people. Just chalk it up and be a grown up and move on with your life!

@adamafet,
One night stand...........just move on and be thankful you did not get anybody pregnant....

She is not going to be open about it with her guy.
Maybe she feels that he will kill her?

That being said by committing adultery she most likely did it to get back at her husband for something beyond what she told you.

You should just monitor her and be Friends. Beyond that remember she have kids. The kids will most likely see you ( again you ) as enemy number one and possibly attack you one day.

Do not get attached to her at all. There are tons of pretty girls, wayward, and single, working, studying, etc out there. I am sure you could do better then some abused wife looking to put you into some situation.
............

The flat fact is that women are commodity and it is by whatever means she is with this man she calls husband. Whatever is going on let it go because what I learn about women ( as with men ) they will see us ( guys ) as being
alternative means.

Lets say she breaks up.
Lets say she have debt.
Lets say the guy is "gone" and took the kids and left the house empty.
Lets say he is "passed on" and she is by herself.

A good chance she will call you up to "take his place"..... beyond that "get-out"

..............

I Knew a Vet ( Korean war vet ). He had this "on and off" again girlfriend. She basically talks to him when she wants sex, but in terms of having a relationship she distances herself. She is nice
looking ( in terms of age range ).

...............

Be thankful you had some "time" with her.

"Run"

"Get out"

"stay in the friend zone"

I don't know who you are, how old you are or where you grew up, but you are one sick puppy. You have no business weighing in on anyone's personal problems because you are twisted. Just stop doing it.

I am most worried about the potential abusive husband. If want she says is true, she and her child are in danger.

If you really do (which I doubt) love her, then you would want what is best for her. I'd suggest finding out about any resource she could get to help her out of her abusive situation. And I would give her that as a friend. Is there a shelter? A counseling service in your area? Give her the contact information.

And do not tell her husband; if he is abusive he just might beat the hell out her due to your misguided feeling of trying to revenge.

In any case, a woman is not available to until they are no longer attached to another man. So either help her with a resource or two AS A FRIEND only or simply forget about her.
