"The other woman" advice, please?

let me say up front; what you did was not wise, ethical, morale or even kind. in order to get past it and learn and grow from it you have to accept, including forgiving yourself. what you do not need to focus on is whether or not you were being taken advantage of. no one forced you, you were an active participant. what you need to realize is this man has probably done this dozens of times. he has a routine down pat and he knew that no matter how long you held out that one day you would give in. there are some safety nets you could put in to avoid this type of situation from ever happening to you again, one being stay away from married men. the love can never be reciprocated the same way, making it really a lust relationship and not a love relationship. this experience will cause you to grow and in a way you need to be thankful that the outcome was not worse. do not let it hold you back from becoming the best person you could ever be...besides in years to come you would have graduated, met a fantastic man, have the career of your life and a great family and he, well he will be right where you left him. love yourself.and do not be too hard on yourself.
