Regret

[Minneloa]

Ok. I want to tread lightly here, because I am a stranger on the internet. But I do have two questions, meant with all due respect.

1) You have mentioned that you are a person of faith. Does contemplating a physical affair transgress your belief system or personal moral code?

2) You mentioned elsewhere, I believe, that the affair would be “quiet.” However, this is nearly possible to ensure, especially given that your distance from the other person would require travel and, seemingly, excuse/lies/cover stories. If discovered, wouldn’t this affair blow up your family in precisely the ways you are trying to avoid?

1) Not necessarily. I don't have the kind of faith based on literal doctrine.

2) Maybe, but that's an "if." The alternative is sure emotional and spiritual death.
