Is a drunken kiss cheating?
Business trips take me and some co-workers out of town on a fairly regular basis. One particular night we all decided to go out to dinner then to a local hot spot where I met a really nice girl. We hit it off pretty quickly and quickly consumed one drink after another together as the night progressed. It reached the point where it was clear we developed some romantic feelings(alcahol induced I'm sure). Toward the end of the night both of us were heavily intoxicated and our inhibitions were significantly lowered. We ended up kissing a couple of times. She wanted to take it further but my conscience kicked in through clouded judgment and I put a stop to any thing else. Here's the problem, I have been married for 3 years to a wonderful girl who I love very much!! I didn't even realize how far things had progressed until it was too late. I've felt tortured inside for weeks now and I know if I hadn't been drinking so much this wouldn't have happened. I don't plan on letting myself loose control like that again. Is this really cheating or just a dumb mistake I should keep on the DL. I don't want to loose her and I don't believe this warrants an end to a potentially highly successful & happy marriage. I have never done anything like this before! Someone help!
