Having an extra-marital affair is...

[Ex Lurker]

36. I had an affair and don't regret it

I am a single man, my partner was married at the time. Although we didn't consummate it until after my partner and her spouse were separated, we met while they were still living under the same roof. Her husband was cold, distant, borderline abusive, and they hadn't had sex in over a year. We met online through a mutual friend. Spent a lot of time together online and on the phone, met a few times, but as I stated before, we didn't consummate the relationship while she and her husband were together. Not that we weren't willing, but it seemed it would add needless risk and complication.

Her divorce becomes final in a few weeks, and we plan to continue our relationship. I don't know where it will go from here, but under the same circumstances I would do so again.
