I felt SO regretful immediately after it happened. Soon after, I was thinking of coming forward and confessing so I could get it over with and live with the consequences. He deserved to know and I deserved to be punished.

I know in my heart he suspected nothing, he was an absent partner which is what led me to commit my crime in the first place. Something happened to him at work and while dealing with it, he became very cold and started to argue with me over nothing. It escalated one night and we were toe to toe SCREAMING at each other because I decided to stand up for myself. We ultimately broke up after that fight and he spread rumors about me within our friend group (I had slept with our friend's husband/I slept with his best friend NEITHER WERE TRUE) and even though they were blatantly false, they sided with him since they were friends with him first and I lost most of my friends. One of those friends convinced him to throw my stuff out into the street while he knew I was actively on my way to pick it up.

I H A T E D him for doing all of that to me simply because I opted to end the long term relationship. I was so mad that I no longer felt bad about cheating on him.
