[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you regret it? Are you happy/at peace? What’s your age? I am in the process and feeling so stressed out. Should I have pulled a Hilary Clinton? All thoughts coming to mind that I cannot live with[/quote]

I mean, it’s regrettable in the sense that it took a toll on the kids and finances. But she made her choices.

I don’t regret with preserving my dignity and modeling that for my children. It hasn’t been easy but I’m happier and surrounded by people who are good to me now. And I am free of the deception and stress and dysfunction of someone who blamed me for her unhappiness.

She might have a different answer for you. Because six years later, she’s still pretty miserable and discovered that ultimately I wasn’t the source of it. I imagine she regrets her therapist, who urged her to “self-actualize,” which she took as encouragement to develop an intimate relationship with another man.

She probably also regrets that the payout she was expecting didn’t happen. I think she had fantasies of how child support and alimony would work. Instead I leveraged the affair to a favorable financial settlement in my favor. (We live in Virginia). [/quote]
