An Opportunity For A Deeper Bond
The more honest, open, self searching and self responsibly you manage the situation, the higher the chances that your mate will forgive you and use this situation as an opportunity for a deeper bond. It’s possible that you have over exaggerated the emotional differences and your own head and that your partner is willing to learn what he/she doesn’t know to be closer with you.
Although you are not the only one involved and not the only one responsible, if you plan on ending the emotional affairs and staying with your partner, the person you have had the affair with deserves a full explanation and, in most cases, an apology for the emotional manipulation they may have been subjected to from you. Breaking the union will be painful for them, but it must be a full break, it will be almost impossible to go back to any kind of functional “friendship” after such a dysfunctional union.
