A reader admits to cheating on their long-term partner, despite never having been unfaithful before. They struggle with the decision of whether to confess, knowing it will hurt their partner who has a history of being cheated on. The reader expresses dissatisfaction with their current sex life and attraction to a colleague, contemplating the future of both relationships.
DEAR DEIDRE: ALTHOUGH I’ve never been the unfaithful type, I recently cheated on my long-term partner.
The last time we had sex was awful. I lost my erection halfway through because she just wasn’t turning me on.Our relationship was wonderful at the start, and I really thought we were in it for the long haul. Recently, though, it’s been happening less and less frequently, and it’s felt like I’ve been going through the motions.Last weekend, I went to a work do, and one of my female colleagues started flirting.But we ended up kissing and going back to her house, and the sex was amazing.I can’t see things getting better with my partner, even though I do love her. And my colleague and I want to start seeing each other.
