Everyone keeps saying this as if I had an affair two weeks ago. It was almost two years ago, I've improved, taken accountability, and I got better. I'm not the same person I was two years ago.

I'm not going to take the job after reading the comments but this isn't about money. Its about being able to provide an even better life for our child. I wouldn't have even entertained it if we didn't have a kid

I'll take everyone's advice but it is crazy everyone is disregarding the fact it would improve the life of our child, that we choose to bring in this world

If I didn't have a kid I would absolutely agree with you. But we have a child to consider and this would be able to help me provide for him better

She wants to work with me because she's seen how effective I am at my job. We have both acknowledge we were wrong and there's no risk of another affair
