For those who found themselves as the other person in an affair, what was your experience like from your standpoint? You weren’t the one cheating, but you played a role in it. How did that feel?

That’s a complex and often emotional situation. From my perspective, being the “other” person can be a mix of excitement and conflict. Initially, there might be a thrill in the secrecy and the intensity of the connection. However, as time goes on, it can also lead to feelings of guilt and confusion.
On one hand, you may feel a strong attraction to the person, which can cloud judgment. On the other hand, there’s often an awareness of the hurt being caused to others, especially if you care about the person you’re involved with. It can be tough to reconcile those feelings. The experience can also feel isolating because it’s hard to share it with others without judgment.
Ultimately, it might lead to a reassessment of one’s values and beliefs about relationships. It’s important to communicate openly and consider the implications of such situations, not only for oneself but for everyone involved.
