[quote=Anonymous]First, you need to stop replying to any messages from this guy in whatever form they come - even to say "thanks."  Just stop completely.  Hopefully he'll fade away without any problems.  I wouldn't flat out tell him to stop contacting you at this point.  IMO that's more likely to trigger a further response from him, and it may not be a good one.  It's also lending further credence to whatever happened between you two and might come across as sounding worse than it was.

Also, if it were me, I wouldn't tell my DH.  I wouldn't want to know if the situation was reversed so long as it was a one-time thing that never amounted to anything physical and he completely ended all contact with the person.  Marriages go through rough patches and I think DH and I would both be understanding of this type of situation.  But every person and every marriage is different so you have to make the best decision for you.

But OP, let this be a wake up call to you.  Remember this awful, unsettling feeling and make sure you don't ever get yourself in this position again.  It sounds like you have a marriage you're otherwise happy with, so you have a lot to lose here.  Remember that.  This type of thing can be a slippery slope and unless you take steps to safeguard your marriage and protect against this happening again, you could easily end up in the same situation and have it go even further since you "got away with it once."  This is especially likely to happen if you don't feel any guilt about this.[/quote]
