I Slept With My Neighbour's Husband, I Need Forgiveness

 

I’m a single girl in my late 20s, I moved into my current house about two years ago, and the apartment close to mine is occupied by a family of five. The apartment is closer to my work than my parents’ house is, so I have left the family house officially, even though I go to see my parents at times.

About a year into my staying in the apartment, I met the husband, who had been out of the country for a while. We met and one thing led to another and we started sleeping together. He complained about not getting good sex with his wife and came to me.

For the past one year, we have been doing this, and the last time we were at it, his wife came to knock on my door, and I had to open it to her, as we had arranged to do something earlier, and her husband was inside my bedroom.

Then, I knew I had gone far and needed to stop doing this, but it’s so hard. I don’t have a boyfriend, not for lack of admirers but because I’m just not interested in a relationship right now, and there is no one that I fancy enough to make me try.

I need to stop before I break up this woman’s home. She even trusts me with her kids. My heart burns for forgiveness out of guilt.
