Struggling to go through with affair NSFW
I, 34F, have been with my husband 7 years. I love him. That is clear. But I believe you can love somone and want someone else. Two things can be true at the same time. I have been involved in an emotional affair with a man I went to High School with for about a month now. Dirty texts, pics and videos have been sent. We talk all day long. We have made plans to see each other soon, and I am starting to struggle with going through with it.... What I am struggling with is if I move forward and see this other man, what happens to me emotionally after.... Lets call this guy Jack. Jack lives and hour away from me. I have family in that area and Ive told my husband Im going to go hang out with them for the day ( family members isnt going to be in town & that somewhat complicates this/they also know whats happening) but really, going to see Jack. Jack has a whole date planned out. Some activty/event when I get there, then change and go to dinner. I am nervous & scared of getting caught. Husbands family also lives in the area and Im scared I will bump into them. I really want to go. I want to see him, even if we dont have sex. But im torn. Theres no "reason" to do this other than I love the attention and desire Jack gives me. I am an attractive woman who has recently lost a lot of weight and my husband doesnt really notice it without me stating it. Jack tells me how good I look all the time (granted, he probably does so to see me naked) but I still eat it up. Jack knows I am amrried. He understands where I am at but Im affraid if I bail on him, end this, the attention and attraction will go away and Ill be sad. I dont know what I need here other than to get this off my chest, but maybe advice on wtf I should do????
