AITA Monthly Open Forum December 2021

Unlike the spouse of the person you cheated with apparently.

I never said that. Infact I feel so horrible because I think i did him wrong. Life isn't that black and white. I've been heavily suicidal since after the incident. I'm on medication and in therapy and i still can't get out of the bed most days. We don't always do things to hurt others, ya know? I didn't cheat with her to spite him, i was with her because i loved her. And you can judge me for that but that doesn't invalidate my love. I never once justified my actions, never.

And I didn't request it to be deleted to minimize people knowing about my horrible actions. If that was the case, I wouldn't have posted it in the first place. However, since the reason why i posted it, that is to get people's opinions, if that purpose isn't served, what exactly is the point of telling people? I was going in circles in my head so i thought maybe asking people online will give some clarity. If i can't get that, why would I want my personal thing to be up?

And you think there's no geniune concern for safety? Only if i could tell you how I risk getting disowned by my parents for being gay and how- no i won't tell her side. Not publically.

Regardless, to mute because of that reason? Because you thought I was scared of people finding out? Dude, come on, that's just not true and you could have asked.
