Should I feel guilty?
"Help IE! I'm worried the kid's school might be closed this week because of this news about concrete collapsing and having to homeschool again. Schools in Essex are affected but I don't know for sure yet. I know this might sound terrible, but in the past few weeks I have been planning to meet a lover I met online as soon as I dropped the kids off.
It's not the first time I have had an affair, but I had been planning it for when the kids go back as I have more time to myself. It's my little secret and I've been building up and so excited for this to happen and now it might be over. Now I don't know what to do, what do I say to my lover? I feel guilt for him and for the kids. I need advice.

As a qualified psychotherapist (yes seriously) I can take over once your attention span is depleted. Could make a great team? Split the fees accordingly?
I see you still have 'dodgy dinghy' issues. This is very significant and probs needs at least two or three sessions to explore. Mates rates of course as we are fellow sinners. š
PS.....if you feel you need to talk about signing yourself of as 'green bin monitor' we can cover that as well. It's all complicated stuff, but I can cope with that. ššš

Guilt is a societal repression?
I completely disagree. I think feeling guilt makes us human. People who donāt feel guilt have labels attached to themā¦
I do agree that when we are young we often donāt really have anything to feel guilty about (apart from forgetting your mums birthday š). But as we get older and take on more responsibilities the guilt becomes real!!

Again, making a judgement about JRR! Perhaps she's not been online. Perhaps she thinks you're too petty to engage with. Who knows? You're lacking s few brain cells dear. Just take a chill pill.

Of course everyone on here can disagree with posts and a respectful challenge makes a conversation interesting. My point was that you were judgemental and not particularly respectful in your message to JRR. You were also quite judgemental of my response to you. I rest my case.

Regarding Jessica RR. Whilst I kinda agree with your point regarding understanding the 'concept of guilt', I think all of us on here need to be mindful that we know absolutely nothing about each other. Although JessicaRR is very young how do you know what's happened in her life and what has shaped her to date? Let's strive to not be judgemental of each other with sweeping statements that can be misconstrued or even hurtful.

It is natural to feel that guilt as an extra marital lover is out of "normal" society. But you need to live your life and enjoy yourself. We all get one amazing life and I do not want to end it thinking "I wish I had...."
accept your feelings, understand them and do what you want or need to. Your lover will understand if you need to delay but do take time for yourself and if you still want him he will be there for you to have some sensual fun with.

My view on this is if you want things to work longer terms then you have to give it a chance and if there are complications of life from time to time and it is a relationship that is working broadly otherwise then the person will understand. If you are looking for a quick fling them maybe not but if this is meant to be developing into something longer and the person is not a total idiot then there should be an understanding that real life has to come first some times and you have to be patient. the thing I always find hard is when people dont say and disappear. Be honest and you will find out where you stand.
If they dont want you after that or if you dont want them because you feel guilty then maybe it was not meant ot be

š¤¦āāļø schools that are closing are either only partly closing or theyāve found alternative sites for.. so very few kids will be affected. IF your kids Schools are shut you would know by now..
As for your affair just tell him the truth. Things happen itās life. IF he doesnāt understand then heās not worth your time going forward..
vilbrequin1 - 06 Sep, 2023 - 02:19PM
The idea sounds like perfect end of the summer holidays!
Shouldnāt be too much of an issue to wait a little longer as any delay isnāt avoidable and plus if they arenāt then probably not the type you want to have an affair with
Real life and keeping the secret will always end up being priority
Alan74 - 06 Sep, 2023 - 01:10PM
If heās worth your time and effort heāll understand. A gentleman would be reassuring you and telling you to put the children first. If heās not doing those things heās not worth your time.

Not sure you should feel any guilt. I mean there must be an understanding that unfortunately kids/life does come in the way of our perfect plans. You gotta revisit the plans with your lover and find another date. I am sure if tables are turned and he/she had an emergency you would be ok with it as well.

If you have an EMA with a builder you can kill two birds with one stone.
You can sort the kids school roof out and have your affair .....although knowing most builders you cant get the buggers to come round when they promises to and they leave site with the job half finished.

Not sure why this should even be an issue? Fear of losing someone the OP has never met? Can that online entity even be considered a lover yet? In any case, if a genuine connection is there, like everybody else, the other party will wait. If not, then it is time to move on.

If your IE has got family I am sure he will understand.
And if he doesn't and gets moody about it then it's time to move on.

Kids come first ALWAYS
If your lover is worth it, he'll understand and wait.
Could you do an evening meet when your OH is home.
Or do you have a school friend your kids could go to for a few hours over lunch or after school hours maybe and you return the favour another day depending on the age of the children?
If not, enjoy the anticipation of delaying the meet. And get the toys and video out š

I wouldn't feel guilty and agree with others that the kids come first. I would expect that if the shool ois affected you would have heard by now and will know what arrangements need to be made. I had a brief affair about 8 years ago and my friend was having issues with her kid at school so kept her phone on when she got round to mine. We had a few hours fun before she had to take a call from the school, sitting naked on her clothes on my bedroom floor. We laughed about what their reaction might have been but obviously once she's spoken to them then we stopped our meet and she left. We eventually ran out of suitable meeting times as she began home schooling. Happy times though.
Hope it works out for you.

Err you tell him the truth IF it turns out that your kids' school is affected ... he has surely heard about the school closures already unless he's been living in a tent in outer Mongolia so he knows it's a genuine reason and not an excuse!
