Me [27/f] emotionally cheating on my husband [28/M] of12 years, with his friend [28/m]

Sorry just saw this! I'd been with my now ex husband for 3 years before the cheating had happened and I guess I'd always thought his brother was attractive and he was always just a really nice person. The three of us drank and hung out nearly every weekend and then some for years.

My exhusband and I did fight a lot and eventually got the point of being downright nasty and insulting each other physically to where we were pretty broken down as people. While no one ever deserves being cheated on in my opinion, he was a big time jerk 2/3 of the time. He'd take off with a carload of people drinking and one time fingered my cousin when I'd left the room. But anyways...

His brother was always really nice to me, like out of his way nice...really to everyone and I'd admired it. I found that after awhile when we all drank I'd hoped my husband would go to bed so I could spend more time with the brother, terrible of me in hindsight.

One night, he did after a big party with his family, only me and the brother were awake. In the kitchen he asked me to kiss him after never making a move on me. I was shocked and actually said no sheepishly and he grabbed me and kissed me. Then he popped a boner and i felt it, then it was on, fucked all over his oldest brothers office...it was a couple hours but I couldn't cum for some reason.

After, i went to bed with my husband like some filthy skank. Anyways...I remember trying to talk to the brother I'd screwed about what we did on one occasion but he pretended not to remember. Even though i knew i could have gotten away with it forever, something just felt sick.

2 months later...terrible delay...I'd told my ex what had happened and he wanted to fuck me while I told him all the details..very weird, I know. Then around the house didn't talk for two days to me and wouldn't get out of bed. Got up the 3rd day and was packing his shit, he said that he had to and I just agreed, I even helped him, let him have his pick of all our shit.

i never saw him or spoke on the phone to him again, we did email for a couple months and sort of smoothed out to being indifferent to each other with no hard feelings. He tried to get in touch with me last month to give me photos but I said no thanks.

The grass is only greener where you water it and what goes around has unfortunately come around. In my current 3 yr relationship I caught my boyfriend in a months long affair fucking my bestfriend-cousin a few months ago...banging on te couch while they thought i was sleeping. I've learned a lot on both ends. Sorry for the length.
