I met My husband 2 months later and he fulfilled all the requirements that i was told to marry all during my youth. ( keep in mind I was 18)
My husband was a good man but I had my doubts during our engagements.. little things like he wanted to see me everyday and starting telling me what to do subtle like.
Our first year was really nice just getting through school, little apartment. I must have not felt a real strong connection with my husband, because the first chance I had to reconnect with my old flame I did. We would talk all day long on the internet while I was at work. We still could talk for hours and never get bored and we had so much fun. We wanted to meet up and when I saw him again my heart lept it was so exciting. We didn't start having an affair til 3 years later. I had to work up a lot of gusto to get to that point. It just isn't like me to be so secretive and lie. I love to take care of those around me and I love to have fun and be kind. I wasn't feeling loved my husband and I went else where for it. I understand what I did was wrong. But now I am faced with a choice.
My husband found out and is willing to work on his and my faults to build our marriage to be stronger. He has a very controlling and dominating personality, where as i have a hard time sticking up for my self and I am constatntly afraid of making him mad. I am Just too nice. He has his moments though when things are up they are good.
Then I have this other guy who knows how to make me smile and wants me to be who I am. I am not afraid of him. He is special to me and just a great guy. I Know he would treat me like a princess forever.
So comes to my real question: Why can't i just choose one!!! I am done with fooling around. Should I stay with my husband continue the life we have built and just suck it up and try to make everything work.
Or start from ground Zero with the man I betrayed my husband with, the man that I think really knows me.
I love them both but in order to continue I have to decide and I am just stuck... So back and forth with what to do. so many pros and cons.
Maybe it would be best if I just went on my own and grew up.. because I am obviously not mature enough to handle this.
Right now I live in a an apartment alone... I kinda have a deadline... they both want me to just decide and its so much pressure.
I just have so much guilt and pain. I don't know who to go to for help.
Any input would be nice.
Thanks for listening to my story
