I will never forget the pain I put so many people through, especially my first wife. It was the most horrible, selfish, mean-spirited and ugly thing I've done in my life. Back then it simply felt like love.

I'm so happy you've recognized it truly is an emotional affair you're having with this other woman. It sounds like you're ready to say good-bye and invest those emotions in your wife and your marriage and be fully present in your life together.
