Hi,

I have a question especially for women who have been in this kind of situation.

About a month ago, I was involved with a guy who has been in a relationship for almost 4 years. I knew he was taken, but I still gave in to his flirting and attention. You could say he became my second “ex,” even though it was never a real official relationship.

We kissed and had some sexual physical contact. I’m really not proud of it, especially because I’m usually someone who strongly disagrees with cheating, and yet I ended up participating in it.

It really bothers me, especially thinking about his girlfriend. I feel a lot of guilt and shame about it, and I keep overthinking it. I also started therapy because I want to feel better about myself, but some days I feel like it’s not helping enough.

Sometimes I feel like I’m “cursed” and that I will never have a healthy relationship again, even if I genuinely want to change.

So I wanted to ask women who have been in a similar situation:

Were you still able to have a healthy relationship later on?
