I’ve been thinking a lot about adultery — not in the ‘that would be fun’ way — but in the ‘how would I handle it?’ way. Of course the Sperminator got the ball rolling but a salacious affair at my daughter’s school got me and my husband talking. This particular affair is surprising for it’s [...]

Posted by Anonymous. This all started 20 years ago I met a cocky big mouth extremely good looking guy that I had watched grow up before my eyes into a startling handsome man we dated a few times and I spent a lot of time at his parent’s house (where he lived at the time) [...]

Posted By D. Once again you were busted. The funny part is, I knew already. I knew her number where she lived and her name. All the while you thought I knew nothing at all. Do you really think I am that stupid? I guess you do, and that is a shame. I knew about [...]

Posted by Anonymous. It started off as “one of those days” and it’s turning into “one of those weeks.” I’m happily married, or so I thought, I have a beautiful son who is about to turn a year old and a hard working husband. Just last week I found out that he’s been watching pornography. [...]

Posted by Anonymous. I’m so sorry, but I’m utterly miserable here. We never touch each other anymore, despite my advances. I asked you if you were seeing someone else and you blew me off. Is she at least prettier than I? I am pretty sure you’re seeing someone else. You come home from a 4-hour [...]

Posted by Anonymous. Since you were four months pregnant, your husband has been cheating on you, with me. He told me he loved me, that I was the love of his life. We spent almost every evening together, in the park, by the library, up the hill, anywhere you can think of in the San [...]

Posted by Anonymous. I’m so confused! I want someone I can’t have. I know I can’t have him because he is too good. If I did have him I’d then feel bad…. feel at fault… even though he can make his own choices. He won’t choose me. … but the yearning is so strong. I’m [...]

Posted by Anonymous. Preamble: I met someone, fell hard for him, and then found out he had lied about being married. They hadn’t been divorced for 5 years – they had actually just celebrated their 10-year anniversary. Here is the email I sent him after I found out… Read the rest of this post over [...]

Posted by Anonymous. I know what I’m doing is wrong and that I’ve finally turned into a “statistic” but I feel like I can’t help myself. I’m your average, middle class, married working woman, two kids, nice house, church going, supportive family. Everything that should make me a “good” person. Here I am in the [...]
