Help me... anyone.
This situation is far more complicated than I can convey on a single post on here, but I'll do my best to sum it up.
I've basically been in a very turbulent relationship for a while now - a loving and caring relationship, but very bumpy. I got to the end of my tether a couple of weeks ago and circumstances caused me to cheat. I was interviewing a guy (who is friends with my boyfriend) for my dissertation and we got on ridiculously well and opened up to each other about everything, had an amazing connection and we ended up at the same party. Me and the boyfriend had a full blown argument, momentarily broke up & long story short I ended up sleeping with the friend.
I felt so awful the next day, the friend ignored me and my boyfriend got so upset and we ended up getting back together and sorting it out. But I couldn't let the friend go. I lost some of the interview with him so we arranged to meet up last weekend to finish it off. We ended up getting drunk and he stayed the night. But we then spent the rest of the weekend with each other, lovey dovey and he said he'd fallen for me. Basically, it's not just physical. But we can't be together, it's so wrong it's not funny.
So basically, I feel like I'm in two minds. I know we should have stopped and what I did was terribly wrong and I think cheaters, including myself, are disgusting. But right now I feel completely hurt and humiliated - that I had such a strong connection with this guy and we have to cut it off because its horrible and not fair.
Oh, this is so complicated. If anyone can try and offer some advice that would be great based on this, but I have an anonymous blog quarterfrench.tumblr.com if anyone wants to see the whole situation and has some time on their hands to help me!
General advice about cheating on someone is also helpful. Thank you.
