A wonderfully written piece. ConfessionL, humble, understanding and poetic.

A couple of lined really hit home. The first was about your husband’s tearful confusion. I’ve been there. My first wife had an affair and I felt her peel away and I couldn’t understand what was going on.

The second, the fantastic metaphor about being a gyroscope. I also had an affair – well, teetered on the edge of one for 18 months of duplicity and sneaking around, commuting emotional adultery and possible actual adultery.

I can see both sides. I understand.

I don’t know what happened next for you but these things often happen for a reason. We subconsciously hit the self-destruct button to create and escape route. I hope you found yours and both you and your husband found some peace in your respective lives.

Thanks again for writing.
