If you ever had an affair, how do you look back on it?

Regret? Learning experience? Or other?

I don't really regret it, but I do regret being careless because my kids found out. Still dealing with the fallout from that.

^ It sounds like you still need lots of therapy. Your kids will be dealing with this in how they feel about you and it’s impact on their own relationships fir them rest of their lives. How can you not hate what you did to cause that?

Wow, you don't really regret it, although it changed your children's opinion of your character forever. And likely impacted their trust of all their future partners. Got it.

Just shows that tigers don't change their stripes (when it comes to what they value and who they put first).

I have come to the conclusion that people who cheat lack empathy. I don’t know that you can fix that. Sad for their families who have to live with the fallout.

As a necessity at the time (emotional affair). I would have killed myself due to the abuse at home.

Yes, because he turned out to be a horrible person (for more than just the affair), and I am ashamed that I associated with someone like that.

Broadbrush much?

You don't know anyone's specific situation. Neglect, abuse, abandonment, infidelity, who knows.

Very fondly. We were in love, but life moved on and while we are no longer in an affair, we remain friends.

No regrets. We both moved on and married other people, but remain friends.
