I have tremendous guilt over a one night stand I had one night when I was drunk. I justified it at the time because I was unhappy in my marriage, I blamed him for alot of my problems. What I later realized was that my marriage wasn't the problem, I have a great husband, the problem was my depression and alcoholism. Which I am working on and now taking medication for, and I am now happy with my marriage of 15yrs. If I ever told my husband about that it would destroy him, honestly. I see nothing good coming out of it, except that it helped me realize I had a problem and needed to change, I learned form it.
So how do I live with the guilt?
