Not sure why I cheated
Visitor's Question from a 31-40 year old FemaleI am in a great relationship but we have had to go long distance for a while. He has tried hard to stay in touch with me during this period.
But the experience I am having during this period is really difficult and he canīt relate to it. I try to explain things that are happening in my life now and he tries to listen. But it is obvious he canīt relate. I am all alone here and lonely.
I cheated with somebody ... everything except intercourse ... I resisted many times, and made efforts to avoid him, because I actually really liked him, but he managed to find me when I wasnīt expecting to ever see him again and then I gave in.
I think I really needed the affection. Okay, wanted the affection.
I will not see this guy again and feel it wouldnīt help to tell my boyfriend. I love him and want to stay together and I think it would just hurt him.
I donīt think he would understand. But maybe because I donīt really understand either.
I am scared that I will feel distant from him after this if I donīt tell.
