Have you forgiven an affair?
Have you had an affair?
I cheated when i was 18. I was seeing two people, a fella called Sean who lived in my home town and a woman called Sian who lived in my university town. I decided to spend xmas with Sean, and New Year's eve with Sian. Xmas was fine, a family thing with Sean.
Then came new Year.
Then came new Year.
All my mates and Sian rocked up to my house, and we all got plastered. Then came midnight, and there was a knock at the door. It was Sean, with a lump of coal, being a tall and handsome stranger.
I managed to down a whole ton of shots and pass out, and my mates covered for me.

But that was the end of me cheating. I did "ethical non monogamy" for years after that, which meant i was just upfront about cheating.
I was actually shocked when my wife said if i was going to sleep with anybody else, i couldn't sleep with her.

I said something along the lines of "what, you expect me to want to sleep with you more than everybody else in the entire world?"
She said, yes she did, and i realised, that, ok, yes, maybe i did.
Nobody had ever talked to me like that, or if they had, i chucked them.

I have loved her ever since. I even feel jealous, occasionally, which is a new one on me.
I used to think "if you think you can do better, knock yourself out."
I don't think that about Lauren.
Love changes a person, i guess.
