A relationship that crosses the line with a man who has a girlfriend

I'd like to hear honest opinions from a third party about having an affair with a man who had a girlfriend by kissing and fellating.

I'm 20 and he's 19 and a junior in the circle. I knew my partner had a girlfriend for a long time. I've never had a boyfriend, I was a virgin back then, and I'm still a virgin now.
I met him at a circle event, and since he was a pretty good-natured type and often talked to me, we gradually became good friends.

I heard from my partner, “If you get permission from her, you can go out drinking and play with other women.” Therefore, even though they recognized that they had a girlfriend, they received invitations to go out drinking and go to live shows, and from time to time, the two of them played together.

One day, something shocked me so much that after school I happened to have a drink with a guy who happened to be close to the university and listen to me. After that, I missed the last train and went to Necafe. So he gave him a deep kiss, and my sense of reason loosened up and the atmosphere was like that, so I gave him fellatio myself due to the flow. After that, “Can I plug it in? I was told, “I have rubber,” but I declined.

Now that I know my partner has a girlfriend, I think I also have a responsibility, and now I'm really reflecting on it. When I was talking to him later, I forgot how the story went, but my partner told me that I was also “scum.”

From now on, I haven't met him at all, and I've decided not to play or go out drinking with my girlfriend of the opposite sex.

Meanwhile, even now, a few months after this incident, I still regret it every day. Until now, I have been working on activities that benefit people, such as volunteering. However, since this incident happened, I began to think “is it okay for me to benefit others by doing this kind of thing” and “I think I am a fundamentally dishonest person,” and I don't know how I should live my life in the future.

I don't want to justify my actions. As for the bad parts, I would like to accept even harsh opinions.

On top of that,
・How do I objectively evaluate my actions
・From this incident, do you think my own personality is also a “scum” or “dishonest person”
・After reflecting, how do you think we should face this event and live in the future

I would like to receive your honest opinions about it. Thank you for your support.

You're not a “scum” or a “fundamentally dishonest human being”

I have read your consultation. You've been tormented by a sense of deep regret and remorse for months. Your suffering is proof of your true sincerity. As someone who is a Buddhist practitioner, I would like to talk a little bit about it.

First, let me start by saying that you are by no means a “scum” or a “fundamentally dishonest person.” Buddhism explains that every human being is an imperfect being with a weakness called “affliction (bonno).” When there is a shocking event, and reason fluctuates when the mind is weak, it is definitely not something that has been praised, but it can happen because of human weakness. Even so, you declined to have sex at the very last minute and put the brakes firmly on with your own heart. Your firm sense of reason remained there.

You don't need to get caught up in the words of the person who called you “scum.” The way he acts according to his own desires and imposes that responsibility on his partner is an expression of his own weakness and immaturity. Deciding not to get involved at all in the future is a very good choice to protect yourself.

In Buddhism, there is a teaching called “repentance (sange).” This is to clear your mind and move forward by honestly acknowledging past mistakes and pledging never to repeat the same mistakes again. You've already fully reflected and decided on a course of action for the future. Your repentance has already been fulfilled within you.

Just one mistake will never let the precious good deeds you have accumulated, such as volunteering, come to naught. Rather, only people who know their own weaknesses can have “true kindness” that is close to the pain and weakness of others. Don't keep blaming yourself. Please use this abominable event as one of your life studies, take good care of your own mind and body, and continue to live proudly for others.

As is the case with the mind, please think about the body too

Saki, I would also like to consult with you.

It's about having an affair with a man who has a girlfriend, right?

First of all, I think there will be plenty of invitations from men in the future, but try your best by planning a strategy so that you can get through it somehow.

Involvement with a man in an absurd relationship

There is also a possibility of getting cervical cancer, and above all, if you have an abortion, the possibility that it will happen when you want children decreases.

Let's take a closer look at the concept of protecting the body, which is more important than emotional regret.

Things that have passed can't be helped, so let's make sure nothing is the same from now on.

There's no point in being called “scum” by an opponent who has attacked that much.

Even now, a few months after the incident, Saki still regrets it every day.

Please stop doing things you regret and take good care of yourself from now on.

Volunteers are amazing!
Saki isn't dishonest or anything.

However, I think men will continue to ask for it a lot from now on.

Let's learn how to say no.
You just don't have to repeat it.

Don't let it be played.
Let's go out to eat with a man who takes good care of me and only sees Saki.

I'm praying that Saki will smile as soon as possible

Choose a man who will treat you well. Take responsibility for your behavior.

Whether you play or go out drinking with a man who has a girlfriend, I think that's fine, but if you trust them too much, it may be a source of trouble. I'm not sure if she got permission, and it would be bothersome if later she told me it was an affair.

And even though there was a reason they listened to the story, if you drank it until you missed the end point, then it would be taken home. We're both adults, so we're free, and if we can take responsibility, we're free to do whatever we do... but behavior at Necafe isn't clean. I wonder if it became a nuisance to those around me.

It's probably because of drunken momentum or being swept away, but choose a man who treats you with a little more care. What's more, people who say they're scum are terrible, aren't they?

If you don't protect yourself well, nobody will protect you. Women who follow right away will be thought to be light, so be careful. I want to be able to take responsibility for my own behavior. I'm so frustrated that I've been hurt, so let's make myself grow. Let's cultivate a clear eye for seeing through our opponents. Let's do that and become wonderful women.

Let's end such a bad relationship

I read it.
I read it, and I think you are very sorry for what you did. I don't know the details about you or that person, but I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
It's probably very regrettable that this kind of trend led to such an act, but it is thought that person followed such a trend because of their own desires. In other words, I think that person guided you with no small amount of calculation.
And since it didn't go the way I wanted, I think I spat such bad words at you.
So it's not that you are “scum,” but that person's thoughts, words, and actions are “scum.” That person is a bad match for you, and I think it is desirable to stop being closely involved in the future. There are actually quite a few people like that. Let's use this as a lesson and be careful about our relationships with people.
If you have deep regrets about what you have done, please sincerely join hands with the Buddha, gods, and ancestors to confess and repent, and pledge to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors that you will cherish yourself from now on.
The Buddha, gods, and ancestors accept all of your feelings and watch over you.
Please continue to do your best in volunteering etc.
I sincerely pray to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors that you will be blessed with truly wonderful encounters and relationships in the future, share your happiness from the bottom of your heart, and live through with your loved ones. And I will support you from the bottom of my heart.
