I had an affair with a co-employee, but we do not share the same office or building as she is assigned in the province and i'm here in manila. The thing is, she doesnt know that i'm married. I guess she believed me and doesnt bother to verify my civil status as I lied to her when she asked me about it several times.
Another thing is, she has boyfriend working abroad who asked her to marry him once he returns to the country this december. In principle, she accepted the marriage proposal and was in fact making preparations for the marriage.
Unfortunately, we met while I visited their office. Our first encounter is purely professional, until we had a friendly dinner date. She is very beautiful and an amazing person. A very nice and sweet lady. Our age gap is more than 10 years, she is only 23 and im 35, but this did not prevent me from falling in love with her. Don't get me wrong, I still love my wife dearly but I guess there really comes a time when a man is distracted by a new interest and cannot fight the temptation.
Now my conscience is bothering me tremendously, because the very values (faithfulness, loyalty, honesty) which I hold in high regard are now completely gone. Plus the fact that im afraid that I might impregnate her and destroy her bright future. She now loves me more than her boyfriend, which she admitted during one of our liaison. She is now considering breaking-up with her boyfried.
I am completely ashamed of what I have done and I don't know how to tell it to her. I guess it is a very cruel thing to do to a wonderful person and I dont know how open it up to her without hurting her so much. I've accepted the fact that she will hate me for my dishonesty.
