Caught

I am a 43 year old female. I have been married for 17 years to a wonderful man. Ian, my husband, is very conservative. I was his second serious girlfriend and when we met he had only had sex with the girl he dated before me and she had been his high school sweetheart. I on the other hand was a little more adventurous when we met having had sex with multiple partners before Ian, though he thinks it is only two. I am a registered nurse and he works for a tech firm. We have two teenagers, Conor and Chelsea. They are actually the center of this confession.
Ian was away last weekend for a work conference and I had book club on Friday night. This left the kids alone which, given their ages, was no big deal. When I got to the cafe for book club two of the ladies texted that they had to cancel. As one other had canceled already, it left just me and Jackie. We decided to just have a glass of wine and call it a night. Usually, I am out until 11:00 for book club, but I headed home early and was walking in the door at 7:30. What I found when I entered my house was a shock to say the least. Music was playing in the family room which I suppose explains why they didn’t hear me for what I saw will forever be burned in my memory. Both of my children were naked and Conor was laying back on the couch while Chelsea was riding him for all it was worth. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. After a few seconds, I flipped on the light and told them to both go to their rooms and get dressed. They were surprised to see me home so early to say the least. They were saying things like, “its not what it seems” and “mom you’re not supposed to be home so early” I told them I didn’t want excuses just go to their rooms. They were a mess of apologies and tears as they gathered up their clothes and ran to their rooms. I then went to our liquor cabinet, poured myself a large bourbon and sat thinking what to do. After I calmed down, I went to Chelsea’s room to be certain that her brother hadn’t forced her. By the look of what I saw I had no doubt that it was mutual but as she is younger I needed to be certain that she wasn’t manipulated. What I found out surprised me but in the end I was confident there had been no abuse. Since the event, I have spoken with them together and individually and got the full story as to how it all started. I promised them I would not tell Ian and I haven’t. There is no way he would understand. Now I sit and wonder how best to proceed.

You are making it far worse. For one you should not have lied to your future about your past. Relationships are based on trust and how to you trust someone who has lied to you about something so important. You should have told each other everything and then gotten understanding and forgiveness of each other. I speak from experience as after 40 years of marriage I found out the truth about SOME of her consensual stuff and about a sexual assault (few dates with guy way to old for a teenager to be going out with and mom & dad allowed it and knew his age) and r**e that happened only months before we met. We did "discuss" our past before marriage but she lied bold faced (by the way I would have married her even with this knowledge but now not so sure going to stay married because of the lie not what she did consensually). SO now you show yourself again as a liar by withholding data from your husband. They are BOTH of your kids not just your kids. I don't know why your husband would ever trust you because you are not open and honest with him so exactly what is your relationship based on if not trust, respect, and honest to your spouse.

In response to the man who commented earlier. My sexual experiences prior to meeting my husband are private and while they did help shape my sexuality, they are just that, my experiences. He has no need to know how old I was or with whom it was with that I first had sex. I have been a loving and devoted wife so why should he learn about something which he wouldn’t understand. The same goes for out kids activities. It will only cause pain

I somewhat agree with the first post. I would not trust you in the slightest. Having private information kept to yourself and being dishonest are completely different things. Sounds like you probably should have waited longer to get married if you can’t even trust your husband with information about your past. It might get ugly but withholding that sort of information about your children is even worse. If I were him and found out you hid that from me, I would be much more upset with you and not them. You called him conservative but they are still his children. If he is abusive that’s completely different but you never mentioned anything that would slightly hint at that. You seem like you just hide stuff out of disrespect for his personal beliefs. Sorry but you have to be honest in your relationship or it’ll crash around you and you shouldn’t be surprised if it comes to that.

V, it seems that this has devolved into two issues. Your past and your kids! First, I think that your past sexual encounters are your business. If you choose not to tell your husband, that's fine! I'm sure that I don't know everything that happened in my wife's life, before we met and that's okay. She doesn't know everything about experiences, either.
Second, your kids. I have mixed feelings here. I doubt that even the sternest of lectures is going to make them stop! Be sure that your daughters birth control is solid! This is a lustful relationship, not a lifetime one. They both need to continue to date other people and the must be completely discreet!
On weather or not to tell Ian, I'm torn. They are his kids and he should know what is happening in their lives, but we don't know him and have no idea how he will react. Only you know this.
I don't envy you. Make the best decisions for your family! Good luck!

#1 and 4 are the same person, and "they" have no understanding at all about relationships and they don't have any understanding of what people know and call as love.

"They" want everything to be destroyed, and they're not offering any means of suggestion or solution, because they have never ever needed to live. You "two" have lost the respect of the people.

OP, I've experienced what you caused, when I was a teenager and I was having sex with my own brother. It wasn't what I would call "mutual", because it very much was good and honest love from both of us. We weren't dating, yet, but it doesn't diminish the importance of the experience for both of us.

At that moment when our mom had caught us, I didn't think it was love, but the reason was that I was afraid it would eventually end someday when we would move out from home and find proper boy and girlfriends. But, that's exactly what points it out that it was, and still is love! Not sexual greediness or lust, even though it was exciting. I could get sex from anywhere else, but I WANTED to be with him and he wanted to be with me!

Some, and I could say, majority of siblings are only experiencing sex and eventually they will stop for whatever reason. We didn't quit it.

When we were caught, we were horrified and devastated, because mom wasn't talking with us. We were waiting alone, figuratively hanging in loose noose, waiting the floor to be dropped down from us.

That moment could had end much worse, because that kind of horror you can feel if your parents would suddenly stop loving you and leave you. People like #1 and #4 could blame that we betrayed our parents, or we stopped loving them, but that's them not experiencing anything ever and them feeling so better than anyone else, think they can blame others. In a situation like that, we were scared that mom would stop loving us and abandon us.

We weren't doing anything wrong. There. That's what I said, We weren't doing anything wrong. We loved to experience something wonderful together.

Read that sentence and think deeply about every single word and what they mean in action. We, Loved, Experience together, Something Wonderful! Those are four very positive expressions, those "two" #1 and #4 will never understand and never accept because they have never felt anything like that.

I will never say that the what we experience were abuse, hurtful, manipulation and felt bad or was a sin. It wasn't and he wasn't and I wasn't! We loved!

You can do amazing things yourself, but when you're experiencing something truly wonderful with someone who you deeply love, that can't be bad. Fortunately our mother understood it. She didn't told anyone about us.

Totally agree with statement above. My sister and I started when we were in our teens, she was 14 and I was 17, there was no manipulation or pressure, hell, we’d simply walk away from each other for almost a year, but the urges just wouldn’t leave us then it happened and was the most wonderful experience we’d experienced. I’m now 66 and she’s 63 both married over 40 years with a daughter each and we still get together once a week and totally love each other like there’s no tomorrow. The feelings between us are as strong today as the day we gave way to it 49 years ago.
