I can't stop having an affair. I'm scared. but...
I had an affair with a man two years older (married, 3 children) for about 4 months. I bargained and apologized to my wife a month ago, stamped a settlement to not get involved in the future, and paid alimony.
But I couldn't stop it. I received messages from him that worried me, and invited me if I could talk for a bit. Even though I felt scared every time, I continued the relationship losing to my own weakness, saying that I didn't want to be disliked by him, I didn't want to hurt him by refusing, and that one person was lonely, and I'm sure it's fine. However, my wife found out, and I received a phone call from her.
I can't keep working anymore, large alimony claims, and debts due to it. I don't know what to do next. I can't help but be afraid of even tomorrow. I feel guilty and sorry for ruining my family and life.
But he said, “Because he invited me. Not from me.” I am trying to shift responsibility. “I'm sure he can help me. They'll pick me up.” I also have a crush on him. I don't even know what the real intention is. I can't see any hope for the future, and I'm investigating ways to die over and over again even if this guy is alive. I also know that dying is neither a solution nor compensation, and that I just want to run away.
How should I live my life in the future?
