[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an affair with a married man when I was 19 and he was nearly 30. He didn't have kids yet but had been married a while. I think I was young and immature and didn't once think of his wife. Not once.  I did cut it off because even though I didn't think once of his wife, I knew this was wrong and had zero future anyway. He ended up having kids with her and then divorcing after moving out of the area, then later on remarried and seems to be living a happy life.  As a married woman now, I am horrified to think that I a) had no moral compass back then and b) perhaps helped break up a marriage but the marriage already had problems. I may have been the catalyst for its eventual demise but there were already cracks in that foundation and my guess is he went on to have other affairs anyway. [/quote]

You were 19.  Give yourself a break.  You are a good person simply because of the fact you recognized this and you didn't repeat it.  You also had not had the experience of kids/marriage, etc.  Your morals are sound. This is much different than a middle aged person knowing dating someone married, whether married or single themselves.  These are seasoned people that know what goes into a marriage and family and what it can do to kids and another person in a long marriage.  [/quote]
