I am a married woman and I did something wrong out of I believe lack of attention in my marriage. I met a man 10 years older than myself, very handsome and muscular. I wanted him from the first time I seen him. Almost a year later by me persuing him in different avenues we got together. We started talking at the gym we go too, I followed him there and joined, and we started emailing each other. I started flirted with him at parties in front of my husband and his girlfriend at the time. After a Christmas party we email each other and hinted about having a affair. We started to meet outside the gym and at different places to kiss and fondle each other. We also started having phone , then we went to a motel and had . It was great, I never had the passion and intimacy with a man like that before. was very good for both of us. I then realised that I was missing that in my marriage. My husband and I went on vacation to reconnect but I was more interested in the other man. I was calling him from my vacation instead of working on my marriage. When we returned home I got back together on a regular basis with my lover. I eventually got caught by my husband by him tracking my cell phone, my girlfriend told me not to use it but I did not listen. All hell broke loose and I was verbally abused for weeks about my actions. I told him that there was no involved, it was just emotional. I think he believes it or he wants to. To make matters worse, he knows the man I was seeing and was very upset over that. I filed for divorice and continued with my lover. My husband pleaded with me to come back and he forgave me for what I did. I desided to try to reconsile my marriage. Now I have hurt my husband, hurt the other man that I love, hurt my family. I was told not to have any contact with the man I love if I was going to fix the marriage., I agreed. I continued contact for 3 monts with him, I had also seen him twice and had once in the last part of the 3 months. I dont know what I am doing, my conselor told me to break it off 100% percent if I am going to fix my marriage. I have lied to husband and I am not sure if I doing the right thing in my marriage. Not sure if I want to be there. I also don't want to loose my lover in the process. I did break off contact and I am very depressed over it, and he is also, but he told me to do what I felt I need to do. I told I would try for a while to see if my love came back for my husband, if not I would call him and we could see if what we had could be mended again. I did tell him that I hope our paths cross again. Does that mean that I hope my marriage reconcile fails? Please help me understand, I am having so many issues with this even though I am seeing a conselor.

Well you are just going to have to make a choice now arn't ya. You can't have both. You are not being very fair to your husband, you made your vows....do they not mean anything to you? Having a lover is very selfish. You need to get some counseling to figure out why you are all in this mess in the first place.

from what you say, it doesn't seem like you love your husband at all anymore. if you reconcile things with him, you may keep some form of animosity towards him for him making you leave your lover. i think you need some time away from both of them to figure out which one you want. when you do, stick with your decision and don't let anybody else guilt you into changing your mind. and do NOT make a pro/con list... those never work.
