[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think cheaters are necessarily “bad” people but they are broken people.  I had an “emotional affair” which I don’t consider the same as a physical affair, but it’s still bad.  The way my husband was treating me was not unrelated to the fact that I sought comfort from another person, but my lack of appropriate coping mechanisms and my inability to draw boundaries were all on me.  I would say that I have always loved my husband, but I was completely at a loss regarding what to do when things turned sideways.[/quote]

I had a month-long EA, but I don’t consider myself broken. I know it was wrong, and I regret the hurt it caused. I’ve done a lot of work on myself since and grateful for the clarity it brought to who I really am and what I really need and want from life and relationships.

I still love my now ex spouse and want the best for him, but I also know that he was unable to offer me the connection and intimacy I crave and I am now able to seek that in a more mature and honest way.
