Affair "lite"
posted November 24th, 2014 at 10:23 PM
I told my wife of 25 yrs that I had an affair, the guilt was killing me, but something stopped me short of telling her the whole story, and she got a condensed version of what really went on. She knows that I slept with another woman, and for the last year we have been working through it all, but what she does not know is the true length of time (2yrs) that it went on for. I still dont feel right...if thats even possible, and am now afraid of opening up the wound all over again. Suck it up and shut up, or come clean and take whats due and probably coming?

Suck it up and shut up is what you should have done in the FIRST place! What did you gain from telling your wife? You get to feel less guilty and she gets to feel bad about herself and her relationship. If you want to unburden yourself some more go and tell a shrink and leave your poor fucking wife out of it! Oh...and while you're at it...go fuck yourself. Because of your wife has any respect for herself that is the only action you should get for the next decade.
Why are you married?

If you want to screw other people by don't you do your wife a favour and get divorced? I'm sure she feels like crap because of what you did---move on and let her enjoy the rest of her life with someone who will respect her.
Agree

Suck it up and shut up! All you are going to do is make yourself feel less guilty and her feel worse.
Stop talking now.

Don't feel guilty. Do analyze why you sought attention from someone outside of your relationship.
Shut Up...

Be done with it. What good could come of any more information?

but you have to tell her. she might find out from someone else which would be so much worse, or have suspicions and feel crazy. I think honesty is how to move forward and turn this into a n event that can make you closer. she can know what she is actually getting into, its her life to after all, and make decisions knowing the real you. idealistic? probably. you should probably give her room to fool around on you if it will make her feel better. I think it's good you told, being on the otherside can suck and maybe you can improve your relationship, like hat was missing from your life and how she felt about you not being around?
Wow

You had a chance to fully admit your guilt to your wife and you did not. I'm sorry but you only have yourself to blame for whatever fallout comes your way from your continuous mistakes.
Go for honest

I would tell her everything. Yes, you have to risk losing her by doing it, but you were willing to take that risk when you slept around. Many women, myself included, sense when our partners have been unfaithful and sense the lingering distrust/withheld truths in the air. It's unfair to let her feel crazy because she can't explain, voice or ignore strange feelings she may have that there's more to the story. Good luck!
you're a POS

whatever 'pain' or discomfort you are feeling is nothing compared to what you put her through. I hope she has the courage to leave you.
Still a cheater

You just gave her a condensed version to make you feel better. Still selfish! You are still a cheater. Tell her everything and be ready to take the punishment. Like a man!
