How do you deal with the remorse you felt after your spouse affair?
Mgodat
You make the decision to end the guilt. In the long run, guilt is useless. Remorse is another side of guilt, however, remorse is the absolute conviction that you will never repeat the behavior again. Guilt is just chest-beating. Or worse, "confessing" to your partner in order to find absolution or redemption. Redemption comes from within, where your "god" lives, the God that loves you and forgives you for being imperfect. This is an inside job, one that requires you to know who you truly are. Forgiving yourself doesn't mean that you will go out and do it again, it simply means you recognize a mistake was made and you will make the necessary corrections; i.e., you will not repeat the behavior. If your relationship with your partner is not strong, and this was the reason for the affair, it is up to you to either end your relationship or work to improve it, BUT not out of guilt, which is simply your willingness to beat yourself up because you were a "bad person". If you can see the affair as a "wake up call" of some sort, you will then be able to put it in better perspective, see your part in the whole thing, and then put it behind you. Forgive yourself.

∙ 13y ago- You deal with the remorse you feel after your spouse affair by turning that remorse into a lesson learned and realize that people are only human but, if they are remorseful then it means they have a conscience and they will better themselves in life. No one is perfect, but humans making mistakes can learn from those mistakes to become a much better person. Life is fairly simple if one is paying attention when it comes to a mate .. honesty; loyalty; good communication skills and work at the relationship. No one said being with a steady spouse whether married or living with each other would be easy and it takes work.

How can I explain my affair to my husband and that there was no intimacy?
You will have to think very clearly about telling your husband about having an emotional affair. Most men do not believe a woman can have an emotional affair and not have a sexual relationship. There is a high possibility that your husband may not believe that when you had an affair there was no sex involved although this is highly possible, but not in his mind. What you can do is learn good communication skills and you must have had your reasons (that clouded your judgment) to have an affair and you need to deal with these problems. Take time to think why you felt the need to have an emotional affair in the first place and then sit down with your husband and express why you are unhappy in the marriage and perhaps seek Marriage Counseling or the two of you could make a better effort with each other to make your marriage a more solid one. Once you have broken that bond of trust with your spouse it is difficult to gain their trust back.
