9 Years ago last night I broke my marriage vows while away on a business conference. 9 years ago today I was too much of a coward to confess to my wife. I kept the secret and worse yet carried on a 3 month emotional affair with this coworker until my wife found me out. But, I continued to deny the nature of what I had been involved in and that I had done anything physical for 7 additional years until my wife forced me to confess by contacting the other woman. If you are involved in something like I was spare your spouse the extended pain and suffering with trickle truth and denials. This is just emotional torture that your BS doesn't deserve.

I understand regret for things we've done in the past. But I always feel the best way to pull yourself out of those slumps is by reminding yourself you are not that person anymore. You are better and stronger now and fully understand just how damaging betrayal really is.

Regret is a very good reminder for us all...just don't stay there too long. You have to keep working towards a better life and being a better person
