I ran into my ex not long ago. We exchanged number and ended up having dinner together. Something that I with held from my husband. Now I find myself thinking about my ex more than my husband.
1 yYou shouldn’t have hid this from your husband and you need to tell him what happened even if he becomes angry you shouldn’t be keeping secrets like this especially if the encounter was innocent enough.
Now, you could be emotionally cheating especially if you consider it a date not just a casual outing with a old friend. You need to stop this before it turns into physical cheating yes it happens when emotions come up but for what ever reason it was that relationship ended and you’re married now.
You need to discuss your feels with your husband be respectful about it but you need to just tell him what’s on your mind he deserves to know especially because you made the choice to sneak around. If you did more then have dinner then you really fucked up and just need to tell him to do the right thing.
You need to break your feelings to your husband I don’t care how hard it is if you feel bad about it that means you still have good in you. You in my opinion should stay married and do what you can to work through this before it leads to adulatory. At the end of the day if you cannot control yourself file for divorce. If you feel you’ll be happier with someone else then your husband deserves to find someone new as well.
Yes it’s going to hurt him but it’s going to hurt both of you even worse later down the road. Just remember that the grass is greener on the other side if hypothetically you divorce your husband and 10 years later you ran into him it’s very possible feelings would come up again as well.
If this man is willing to cheat with you the chances of you being cheated on are very high because it shows where both of your honor and integrity are.

And you should be like I said tell your husband everything. Even if the truth hurts if there is any chance of working through this you have to.

If it ends in divorce at least you both can find someone you’re happier with.

Sadly, you cheated on your husband already , by you keeping secrets from him , by not telling your husband that you are going out with your ex to dinner , so the only reason you are thinking of your ex? is because you allowed yourself to cross that boundary , by investing your time into an ex , over investing your time into your husband. Whether you hooked up with your ex or not , you still cheated on your husband , by allowing yourself to go out to dinner with your ex , and you clearly know your husband would be devastated if he found out. Think about how you would feel if your husband did that to you behind your back? So understand , you are the one in the wrong for allowing this to occur. The only advice I can give to you , is to really think about what is more important to you? Your marriage or an ex , that left your ass the begin with? If your ex truly loved you , he wouldn’t be your ex period. Something you should really think about before doing something even more stupid that you might regret.

I didn’t think it was a big deal because my husband and my ex are friend. My husband knew his friend was my ex.

Sadly it is a big deal , whether your husband is friends’ with him or not , Actually that’s even worse to be honest with you , Why friends’ shouldn’t date their friends’ exes period. Your ex probably wouldn’t mind banging you again but understand that’s all it will be , most guys’ do not take an ex back into his life , he might have sex with her again but that’s it so understand whatever you once had with your ex , will not be the same. You both broke up for a reason , whatever that reason may be , is not going to go away , you both can try to bury it , but it will still be there. Why it’s stupid to take an ex back into your life period , Someone that truly loves you and cares about you doesn’t break up with you and go their separate ways , they go their separate ways because they want to test the waters pretty much by wanting to date or have sex with other people. so an ex will only come back , if they had no luck when they were single they realized nobody else wants them , so they try to come back to you , because you are convenient to them. So if you want to be a convenience to your ex , then have sex with him , but the right thing to do , is end it with your husband first , don’t blind side him and string him along because you want to be selfish. Selfishness is one of the number 1 relationship killers So really ask yourself what your husband did to you , for you to betray him that way? Sadly a lot of people have a hard time resisting temptation because people are selfish , and only think about what is best for themselves, they don’t factor in their partners’ feelings , they just do what they feel is best for themselves. So yes you can absolutely choose to be selfish , but understand you will never experience true love with anyone , until you learn to remove that selfishness for your partner. The same way you want them to remove it for you.
Anonymous(30-35)1 yWow. So basically you're emotionally cheating on your husband. You exchanged numbers with an ex AND went to dinner, all behind your husband's back. Shame on you. You clearly do not love your husband and he deserves better.
For me, I am single, not married. My most recent ex I do think of a lot and I honestly do miss. Once you've had time to think about everything, sometimes you see that you were actually better together and kind of regret things that led up to the separation. I admit I wasn't perfect and played a role in the split, but my ex did too. I definitely feel bad for my part in it and I recognize where I could have done better. But I also see where my ex was definitely in the wrong and could have done better too. It is a 2-way street. At least neither of us cheated.

Best answer thanks
Opinion Owner1 y@Alwayreckles93 Thank you. You deserve better too for the record. If you are truly NOT happy in your current relationship, you need to end it. It is unfair to both of you to stay when you know deep down you should go.
It may hurt your husband, but honesty is a whole lot better than lying. Lies will come to the surface eventually as well. You can only live a "double life" for so long before your cover gets blown.
It is best to just be honest. Just make sure you are making the right decision. Make sure this ex is worth all of this.
You have to remember - you married your husband for a reason AND you and your ex are no longer together for a reason. Can exes reconnect, reconcile and be happy? Totally! It happens a lot. But you have to make sure it is truly the best decision.
Don't make a spur of the moment decision you may end up regretting. Divorce is a big deal. Make sure you truly want to do that before you jump the gun.
Good luck to you!- 1 y

30 Reply Absolutely not. I left my ex like 10 years ago and not once did I ever wanted to go back to him.
It sounds like you are unhappy in your own marriage and trying to find an excuse to leave. Though it sounds like you are already emotionally cheating and with holding info like that you know you DID wrong.30 Reply

TheLovelyWoman Oh I am not judgmental go say that to my ex friend Karen. Who decided to be a bridezilla not allowed children at her wedding I didn't give a shit I decided to show up to the wedding with my kid's. I pay so much money for an airline ticket just to see a Karen bridezilla yelled at my son. My son didn't do anything wrong. She was over reacting over a stupid $2,000 gowny son didn't not jump on her stupid dress on purpose it was an accident.
m 1 yI think this potentially happens to couples, would the grass have been greener, that chance of something extra, the what if question, and the temptation. It really comes down to how much you value your marriage I guess.

You better know what you're doing little girl because I sure as heck don't. Did you pray on it if that's your thing?
