We received an emotionally charged letter from our reader, a 36-year-old man named Sean. He shared his story of how infidelity became the catalyst for a dramatic saga with an unexpected conclusion. Sean was utterly shocked when he confessed his affair to his wife. He was prepared for any reaction, but not the one she gave him. Now, desperate over how events have turned against him, he is asking our readers for advice on how to move forward with his family.
Sean confessed to his wife after a short-term affair.
The man began his letter, “My wife, Rosa, and I have been happily married for 15 years now. We have navigated many of life’s challenges together, always finding a way through as a team. We were more than just spouses; we were kindred spirits, and our marriage was built on trust and mutual understanding. We never lied or cheated. But recently, things took a sharp turn, and our family is now falling apart at the speed of light.”
Sean explained, “I know I did something truly awful and disgusting; I cheated on my wife with a client of mine. I don’t fully understand why I did it, it felt like my body was on autopilot. After a short time, I couldn’t bear the guilt any longer. I immediately cut off my affair partner. I also ended our professional relationship, passing her contract to a coworker, and have had no contact with her since. I confessed everything to my wife and have been in individual therapy ever since.”
I have a sister, Lily, who’s very precious to me. We live together for practicality, and it’s easy for me to tend to her when she’s sick. She grew up sickly, so I was concerned about her living alone— that’s why I suggested that we live together.
After I successfully finished my work, I excitedly went home. I even stopped by our favorite dessert shop to buy a cake for a little celebration. When I opened the door, I was welcomed by my sister, who had fainted on the floor. I immediately contacted an ambulance.
As I was checking what might’ve caused it, I saw her phone left open. I checked and was shocked to see her begging for a man’s attention— her boss. She was typing something before she fainted. The thought of my sister at that moment had me furious.
Alice did something unexpected out of her strong emotions.
