“Marriage was stale, living parallel lives, blah blah blah. Ran into "the one that got away" on FB. Chatting led to flirting led to a tryst in a city between us. It was meant to be a once-and-done, to get it out of our system. What we didn't plan on was falling in love.

Knowing I'd want to see her again, I confessed to my wife and moved out, ultimately divorcing. Over the next two years I learned that:

1) Long distance relationships don't work,

2) The "one that got away" got away for a reason.

It was all a big mistake, but none of it can be fixed. I date others, but miss my wife and marriage every day.”
