Cheating was fun. but now what?
My wife two our two kids to Florida to visit her parents who recently retired and chose to live down there on a permenate basis. During the two weeks my wife and kids were away, I slept with one her best friends three times. Her friend and I had no intention of carrying on a serious, long-term relationship, just, you know, we drank, smoked a ton of weed and a little crack. Needless to say we laughed alot. Now my wife is back home and guess what? I'm feeling so guilty I can barely get the words out to say that I love her. My wife is starting to notice the difference in me. I found out that she has been asking her friends questions about me. She even asked the girlfriend that I'd been sleeping with. The fling is over. I want to come clean and admit what I'd done. I feel like that guy in that short story, "The Tell-Tale Heart". I could get away with what I've done if I keep my mouth shut. My wife's friend would jump off a bridge before she told anyone about it. What "we" did was wrong, childish, and incredibly stupid. But damn! It was alot of fun! But guilt is having it's way with me. Is it normal for people who cheat to swallow guilt and continue on in marraige as if nothing happened? I love my wife and kids and I know that I won't cheat again. Not with the creepy way I feel now. Should I keep my mouth shut, or spill the beans and cause my wife some severe hurt just to make myself feel better?
