Your Emotions Are High When Ending An Affair

Most people start an affair agreeing that it will eventually end at some point. Usually, neither partner can or will divorce their spouse and it was never an option to begin with. Being secretive, the hot clandestine sex, and the excitement of it all can bring about some pretty intense emotions, some of which can easily be mistaken for love. Affairs feel good and give you a renewed burst of love for life, but only at first. Eventually it becomes more and more like a real relationship. The honeymoon wears off, as they say. Eventually, you decide it is time to stop the affair but suddenly it doesn’t seem so cut and dry. You’re having strange guilty feelings and you may even worry about hurting your mistress. Suddenly you realized you have developed emotional feeling for her. Whether it’s just sexually charged energy or a real true love is hard to determine. If you still love and cherish your wife, chances are it’s just residual sexual spark stirring up your emotions and confusing you. This makes the affair super hard to end. The only recourse is to spend some time alone deciding upon your breakup speech and stick to it. Think quick and painless.
