Hi Everyone. I have been lurking for a bit and now feel it's time to introduce myself. I am 31, mom of a toddler, and married five years. I am involved in my first affair, and I never imagined that I would do something like this. I never planned it or thought about it or anything like that....probably similar to many of you. Anyway, the complication is that he is the husband of a good friend of mine.

Fortunately, they live a few hours away. But I do spend the weekend there occasionally, and that's where it started. Since then, we talk on the phone occasionally and exchange email daily.

The odd part about the whole thing is that I don't feel guilty or bad about it. I actually feel like it's helping my marriage (my marriage is good, actually, which is why I'm confused as to how this whole thing started. I always thought that people had affairs because they were lacking something in their primary relationship).

Anyway, that's my deal. I look forward to getting to know you and participating.

Welcome to our world KC! Im happy you decided to come out of lurking...I think you will find this board to be essential to your sanity at times throughout the rollercoaster ride you just embarked on! It has its ups and downs so be prepared...

As far as the guilt thing goes...I have never and will never feel guilty about what Im doing because Im smart enough and sharp enough to be sure that it never hurts anyone. As long as that holds true you shouldnt feel guilty either...
