When I was 23, I had an affair with a married attorney. About six months into the affair, I got pregnant even though I was on the pill.
I, too, was married.
Long story short...
He left his wife for me, I left my husband for him....
He got scared and went back to his wife, I took my three kids at the time and started over on my own...
He came back...wanting to be with me.... He divorced his wife. I, however, had moved on emotionally, and was no longer interested in a romantic relationship with him. Also, I realized that much pain would be endured by both of our families if we were to be together and I didn't have it in me to hurt my ex-husband or his ex-wife forever, as that pain would not have lessoned....
We have a beautiful 18 year old daughter now, and he and I are friends.
He has since remarried and I am not married at this time.
As bad as it all was back then, it has turned out very well....
But, we both loved our daughter, so her happiness was very important to us both.
Hope this helped.
