Am I doing the right thing?

I have been having a long distant relationship with an old boyfriend (my high school/college sweetheart) for over 2 years. We only see each other maybe 1-2 times a year (when he and his family is in town--they live out of state). However, we talk on the phone at least 2 or 3 times a week, and email each other every day, multiple times a day. We've had a more emotional affair than anything else (although, we have been intimate 2x). He has been married for almost 8 years (as have I), and has 2 kids. I have a little boy myself. He just told me yesterday that his wife is pregnant. I then proceeded to end it. Am I doing the right thing? I feel in my heart that I am; I just need someone else to tell me that this is right

(((HUGS))) and I think if your heart says it's the right thing, then it probably is. Trust your instincts and check out these boards, too:

You're doing the right thing. Don't be the reason that a new born child's world could get hit with hurricane D-day someday. If he's willing to take that risk, don't be his willing conspirator.

I wish you well.
