Hello Therapist,
I am 28 years old and married for the last 5 years. I recently got into a relationship with a man who stays in the same building. Now, I feel guilty. Don’t know whether I should say this to my husband.
Hello Pinkvilla Reader,
I would suggest that think of what it would mean to tell your husband about this. How would he react? I would suggest making a pro and cons list on a notepad. What advice would you give to your best friend if she was in the same situation?
And while this is one part of the story, another part is about your motivations behind your actions. What made you engage in this affair? What were you seeking in this affair that you were not getting in your marriage? Let’s also look at the guilt part. What is your guilt telling you? Is it telling you that you are a bad wife? Or that you betrayed someone who is important to you? Is it making you anxious about the future of your marriage? How is that guilt helping you take responsibility for your actions?
Whatever your decision, you have to consult a marital therapist to help your situation here onwards.
