She Was Having An Affair With A Guy In A Relationship, But Ever Since She Decided To Come Clean And Tell The Guy’s Girlfriend, She’s Felt Even Worse
This young woman met a guy online earlier this year before she started texting him for months. And he was practically the first person that she ever liked. So, she admitted to being absolutely desperate for the guy’s attention.
Eventually, though, she found out that the guy had a girlfriend.
“But for a while, I was fine with it,” she admitted.
“I didn’t think it must’ve been too serious if he was also with me. We even planned to meet up this summer.”
However, as time went on, the guilt she felt started to become overwhelming. Then, the guy completely shocked her after revealing his plans to move in with his girlfriend.
Up until that day, she had been “deluding” herself and telling herself that the guy’s relationship was not serious. Then, she used that to justify her belief that she wasn’t an awful person.
Although, that all changed once she found out that the guy was in a serious-enough relationship to be moving in with his girlfriend.
At that point, she started going through the guy’s contacts and frantically searched until she found his girlfriend.
Afterward, she spilled the beans about everything and sent the poor girl screenshots of her conversations with the guy.

And since then, she has no clue what happened between the guy and his girlfriend. She just unfriended him on every platform, and he did the same. So, she has not heard from him and believes she never will again.
Still, she just feels absolutely awful because she hurt an innocent girl with her behavior. She realizes that she hurt the guy, too, because just a few days prior to revealing the affair, he claimed to really trust her. However, she obviously broke his trust.
“But what else was I supposed to do? I was already a piece of [garbage] for cheating. I thought telling her would maybe be something that could kind of redeem me,” she explained.
While she came clean about the affair, though, her mental health has not improved in the slightest. She has not been eating and instead throws up every day– which has caused her to lose 10 pounds in just one week.
She has also been crying constantly and was not even able to attend her college classes this past week because she feels like she can barely move anymore.
She genuinely thought that if she was honest with the guy’s girlfriend and cut the guy off, it would make her feel better. But now, she honestly feels even more horrible.
“I know I deserve everything and even more, but I just want things to go back as they were. I just don’t wanna feel so sad anymore,” she vented.
So, she’s been trying to understand why she misses the guy so much and is wondering how to move forward following this awful situation.
Did she do the right thing by coming clean about the affair? Why do you think she feels so much worse after being honest, as opposed to before, when she was keeping the guy’s secret? How can she recover from this?
