This is Mrs. Crimson Hawk. I've read all your replies....and they ARE justified. My chat looked EXACTLY like I was going to run off and have an affair. I WASN'T but it sure looked that way and I regret hurting my husband. And, yes, I would care if my husband cheated on me. it would hurt like hell. His asking women on dates hurt me terribly. Someone asked...if you've been married 17 years and she hasn't cheated in 17 years then who did she sleep with before the wedding. For the record....we've been married 13 years and but have been together a total of 17 years. I have never, and never will, cheat. Also, we have 3 kids. As for the trip. I really was going to see a new friend (a girl if you're wondering). But only with his permission. When he said he didn't want me to go I canceled the trip.And, just because I play Wow doesn't make me a skank...I'm actually very pretty.But, I did flirt HEAVILY and I took it way too far. I have admitted this to hubby, I have apologized for hurting him, and I am willing to work things out with him...if he will. I've got too much time invested in our relationship to throw it all away on a one night stand. There is a Lot more to this story than was posted. Things haven't been the best between us for a while. Neither of us have cheated....but I've not been happy and I jumped at the chance for someone to make me at least smile. It was VERY wrong of me and I regret it terribly. Not because I got caught....that's not it at all. I regret hurting my husband and our marriage by taking things too far in chat. And I am very willing to take counseling if that's what it takes to make our marriage better. And, I'm not laying blame....no one made me do this...I flirted like that of my own free will. My rocky marriage is no excuse for what I did.I know how my chat sounded...it did sound like I was going to run off to some other guy. Hubby said the evidence was damning. But I really wasn't going to. I know in my heart that nothing would have ever happened even if none of you (or hubby) believe me. The way I feel about my husband would have prevented me from doing anything with another man. I love him too much to actually cheat. Think what you will of me. Thanks for listening.
