    I’ve been married for 10 years to my wonderful wife and have 2 girls. My marriage is very solid, sex life is good, etc. Something made me stray last summer and I had a 3 month affair with an old co-worker. We covered our tracks pretty good but then this past week, an old email was found that I had sent her. Her husband found it…shit hit the fan. I got several emails from her that said he found out and she was freaking out. I got one email from him that said you better tell your wife about the emails you were sending. The affair was over back in October. They sent one final email that said please erase me from your life, etc. I am fine with that. Cheating is something I never thought I would do. I have already moved on but I am nervous that somehow he’s going to try and contact me through Facebook, email, or even call and expose it to my wife. I’ve been torn up inside since last week when I found out it happened. I don’t know what to do. I am NEVER going to do it again. I have never been so scared in my life. I know I am living a lie but I can’t stand to tell my wife. I just keep going through day by day that somehow he will find us online and expose it. The guilt is killing me but its also the nervousness that he’s going to try and contact us and tell my wife. Anyone have any good advice?

    The anxiety that is hanging over you is getting in the way of your day to day life. 😳 You can live like this or you can sit down and tell your wife what happened and why it happened and ask for her forgiveness. I know you’re afraid of losing her because you made a mistake, but that fear you’re living with is not going to go away unless she is the one who banishes it. It’s not this other guy you’re afraid of — it’s your wife’s disappointment and possible rejection. While this is clearly an awful fear, the only way to truly have relief is to take full responsibility and be the one to tell her.

    Imagine how awful it’s going to be if she finds out from someone else — this guy or a friend of a friend of a friend of an acquaintance. Your betrayal was bad, but if she finds out that other people are talking about the betrayal and she’s the last one to know because you never told her — that’s going to be way worse for her and therefore for you.

    People get over infidelities, but it takes an understanding of how and why it happened and a commitment to make things better.

    I hope that helps. Let me know how things go.
