A Caution Story

A while ago I became friends with a woman at work. She and a friend were planning a trip to this huge antique fair. It was an overnight trip due to the driving distance. We took a room with two queen beds. I slept with my coworker.

Now, I did not initiate it, but I went along with it. Starting with under the covers breast play followed by clit stimulation. Of course we were quiet, but if our roommate heard us she never said a word. After we got back from the fair this woman and I continued to play around. It got serious, to the point of her letting her husband know we were in a relationship. It caught him cold, he had no warning. I should add she has two children, a boy and a girl.

They went to counseling, to mediation. At the core was the children. He got the boy and she got the girl, both with visitation of the other parent. The divorce was financially debilitating, the house was lost to pay the lawyers. She and her daughter moved in with me in a rented two bedroom condo.

Sex was front of mind, until it wasn't. She tried blaming me. I was not willing to agree with her. After she moved out, she moved back in with her ex husband. For the children. Now they are getting married again. The lawyers walked away with their house, a devastating financial cost.

I bring this up because affairs are secret. That's why they are affairs. I feel strongly the children need a home to live in. I've decided to cash in my 401K and give her the money to buy a house for them. Don't get on my case, please.

I have deep feelings for her.

That is tremendously kind and generous of you.

On the one hand, I can empathize with the husband - no one wants to be cheated on.

On the other hand, I think that if people were less possessive and jealous, and there were more open relationships, the word might be a happier place.

Permissive Parent here.
My wife seems to have been living away half our married life.
My daughter has done some background checks and it seems my wife isn't in the hotels she's in when she says she is.

This is a shocker when I asked if there was another man she said not really! I asked what it meant , she poured herself a whisky something she never does and them one for me.
Slouched down and said I'm not having an affair as such but I have been sleeping with different people for the last 10 years! People she has met in hotels of both sexes and her preference is females. She then threw another hand grenade in the room by saying I suppose that's why I have guide Hiedi to be very boyish in her hair her dress sense , but it's clear she's very much wants to be feminine.
I asked her if she has desires for Heidi, if looks could kill! Absolutely not she said.
I'm a coward but I can't sleep with our daughter whiles she's in the house. I just can't.
Now however I have grounds for a divorce. I feel such an hypocrite and totally scared. Heidi isn't talking to her mum at the moment

It would be a kind gesture, but misplaced. It sounds as though she was the instigator of the affair. It was she who felt it necessary to tell her husband and possibly pushed towards separation, rather than finding a common ground with her husband. Did she try to establish a world where she could remain married and still see you? Or, was it all or nothing?
I'm not saying she is undeserving of you generosity; I'm simply saying that you would be better served to cut ties entirely. Let them rebuild. You do the same.
