Are you kidding, here???

Well, Rob.....I am in agreement with Molly and Alikat that, if you have, indeed, posted your story under your REAL name for the global community of the internet to read, you've done yourself AND your wife a terrible injustice. Your..."confession"...should have been delivered to your wife, in person, and in the presence of a marital counselor if, in fact, you believed that you were married to the woman of your dreams. Apparently, SHE WASN'T, otherwise you would have kept yourself TO your Self and behaved like a grownup instead of a teenager.

Your "public" apology/confession does not, by any stretch of the imagination, absolve you for your sins against your wife. The "other woman" cannot be blamed for having "taken" you from your wife - YOU made the committment and YOU chose to break your word. You could just as easily have said, "You know, I'm flattered, but I am very, very married and I'm going to have to end our conversations." Instead, you took the route that filled whatever need you had at the moment.

If I were your wife, I'd be laughing all the way to the divorce attorney's office.
