So You've Had an Affair...
Bet you haven't had a chance to talk about it. Society's bias toward the taboo subject of extramarital affairs causes people to miss valuable opportunities for growth. The shame of the affair prevents us from telling our extraordinary stories of answering love's call, and thereby prevents us from embracing what the whole experience had to teach us. We now have a place to talk about it.
Lessons learned, truths revealed...
Though by their nature self-limiting, affairs can tell us alot about ourselves, our relationships, and can even bring out the very best in us. Did you ever ask yourself, "Who was I during that time?" I know that I was fun, loving, intimate, spontaneous, excited to be alive, not sweating the small stuff. The question after the affair, though, was this: "Could I still be that same person, only with honesty this time?"
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there." - Rumi
Did your affair save your life?
The fear of being forced to wear the scarlet A keeps us from saying out loud how good our affair might have been for us. Sometimes it helps us find the courage to get out of a bad relationship. Other times it just may breathe enough new life into us to revive a sick but not yet dead marriage. Maybe you stayed with the person you were having an affair with after all, and found your new and true love. If you find yourself keeping that good stuff to yourself, share it here. Let's form a group!
