		<description>I have just slept with my married exboyfriend and I am fully aware of the wrong I have done, not just morally for myself, but also to his wife. This all started back in high school, he was my first serious boyfriend, well, my first everything. We dated for a little over two years and had a pregnancy scare, so I knew how he felt about having children, he did not want any at this time of his life. Understandable, we were in high school. We talked of going to college together, getting married and the type of house we&#039;d live in and how many kids we&#039;d have. As time went on our senior year, he began hanging out with other people, broke off our relationship. The connection we had was so strong, we continued to see eachother periodically. Then during Spring break, I met a great guy and we hit it off. I stopped all communication with my exboyfriend and started a serious relationship with who would become my ex husband. Not long after meeting my now ex husband, I found out I was pregnant and it definitely was my exboyfriend&#039;s child. My ex husband said he wanted to marry me no matter that I was pregnant with someone else&#039;s child. This is what happened in short version, we married had 3 children, marriage soured due to his cheating and the truth was told to my teenage son for the first time in his life that he had a different father (not in a nice way). My son searched out and made contact with his very shocked, married father, my exboyfriend. They continue to have their own relationship, I in the meantime became divorced after my ex husband cheated. This is where I am so emotionally confused! My exboyfriend contacted me an wanted to talk about our son. From the get go he made it clear he wanted to continue where we left off with just a sexual relationship, nothing more because he would never leave his wife or their daughter. I had told him I would not want to even consider that because he was married and I knew how a woman who had been cheated on felt like. As I left, we hugged and all the smells and feelings came back of what we were. One thing led to another and we had sex. After all of this, we said it would be between us, just sex and we would act like it never happened. Now I am mentally just a mess, which I know I deserve much worse. I know what I should do morally, but I can&#039;t stop thinking about him. What to do?</description>

		<description>Yes, i&#039;ve had an affair with a married man who i wasn&#039;t attached to at all.  I guess for me it was an emotional thing.  I knew he was married... he knew i had a terrible heartbreak.   I just wanted time for myself to explore my options.  unfortunately fortunate, i chose the married man. 

He designs womens clothing... and well i was called to model for him.  I&#039;m no model--i have an amazing career, but i just wanted to know a designer.  I sat, talked, and hit it off.   We had a bottle of champagne.. loud music.. and started dancing.  In my head, i kept thinking this is a cool guy.. someone i wouldn&#039;t mind being a friend with. 
We didn&#039;t get intimate, but we did kiss and i backed off saying.. Woah you&#039;re married. 

All went well... we just laughed it off.. and i went back home thinking i&#039;m an idiot.   Following week, i went to pick up my dress.. and he didn&#039;t charge me.. he apologized for making me feel uncomfortable... when in all  sincerity, i didn&#039;t feel uncomfortable at all.. i figured it&#039;s just one of those things.. he&#039;s a nice guy.. would never want a relationship with.. but can&#039;t help being attracted to. 
Again, talked.. laughed.. and decided we&#039;d grab a bite to eat.. I asked him about his family.. 

he had a son, a wife--whom he married because he just needed to be married and she needed to be married.  now i&#039;m thinking in my head, sure he&#039;s just saying that to get in my pants. BUT HECK i can&#039;t help being attracted to him.. Good pheromones i guess...  He specifically said to me, &quot;my wife knows i&#039;m always surrounded by beautiful women. I&#039;ve had many sexual encounters with women which i find to be spiritual and mutual.&quot;  He went off explaining why he was physically attracted to me.. Said i reminded him of an affair he had when he was younger (not his first love.. but an affair)   He even told me, he went to that affairs wedding. 

I&#039;m fascinated by the entire story, thinking, is it really wrong?   my ex and i had problems due to another woman.. he left me for another woman.  and the thought of it kept repeating in my head.  Just like every other woman i was blaming the woman.. when i should have blamed the man.  So now i&#039;m starting to realize it was the MAN who actually played the biggest role in this.   and now i just didn&#039;t want any commitment whatsoever.

To make it short, the next time i saw my designer friend, i had so much anger built up inside me, i drank and drank.. danced.. had a good time.. and started making out with him.  i wanted to see a reaction out of him... i guess.. and didn&#039;t get intimate---again.. and i did get a reaction.   

The reaction was, &quot;you are a beautiful woman.. and you deserve a good man.  I&#039;m so attracted to you... you turn me on.. but alas i have to go home to my wife.&quot;

That same night, on the local station, i see my friend and his wife being interviewed.. The reporter asks the wife, &quot;how do you feel about **** working with many women&quot;   his wife laughs and replies, &quot;The industry is full of beautiful women, but I&#039;m the one he returns to at the end of the night and my ring is still on my finger.&quot;---they laugh it off. 

So that&#039;s where it began. I continued to see him.. and we got intimate every time. 

The fortunate part was  I felt comfortable knowing that i didn&#039;t have to commit to him at all.  He knew i didn&#039;t want commitment for him.. our friendship grew.. and all i wanted was for him to keep his wife extremely happy.

I know it&#039;s not alright.. i know it&#039;s wrong to do this.. but i feel no emotional bond with him and i can detach whenever i feel it, without getting mine or his feelings hurt.  

 The Unfortunate part is, i have met his wife.. and i know she knows. because she gives me one of those half-ass smiles which translate to.. i&#039;m watching you.

I dont&#039; know.. i&#039;m a horrible person... i&#039;m responsible for my own actions.. but i just don&#039;t feel it being wrong.</description>

		<description>i posted in nov 2009 under the name caught up and before i continue with my response i am proud to say that i am no longer caught up. my affair ended in sept of last year. i ended it. i got to a point where i just wasnt happy with myself anymore. everytime i looked in the mirror i was disgusted with who and what i had become and i just slowly started to pulll away. it was hard cause he would pop up at the house and he called constantly. but i wouldnt answer the door or his calls. i had had enough of being his sideline hoe. period. today i am a very happy single woman who isnt even dating. i am focused on raising my children and getting to know myself. being willing to be involved with a married man let me know that there are some issues within myself that i need to work out. i deserve my own full time man and when i am ready to be in a relationship thats what it will be. and its gonna be a while before im ready for that.  ive cleaned up my life in several areas. developed a relationship with god and i see how hes working in me as a person and in my life. all i could do was shake my head when i read my previous post. while i am not ashamed of the affair i am glad that i serve a forgiving god and im glad he cared enough about me to save me from my own stupidity and self destruction. i pray to god that when i get married my husband is faithful to me but if he isnt ill just have to put on my big girl panties and deal with it because we reap what we sow.  </description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think it&#039;s an accurate analogy, really. An employee renders a service in exchange for money. This is business. The emotional context is completely different, or at least it should be. I don&#039;t know anyone who expect their company to love them and stay with them for better or worse. I also know of no company that promise anything like this to its employees.
