Take what you said to your husband (because, you know, he's not without blame for this, either), and modify it as you see fit.

When emotions take over to the extent that it start affecting your routines and health.
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.

This is going to take some time. Eight years with someone is a long time to be with someone. You will have to find support from friends or family to help you get over this relationship. Try to find a counselor to talk about your feelings with. Remember to also give yourself time to heal.
