I am married with children and work NHS hours, I need a break and want an affair
A WOMAN who leads a stressful but normal life has revealed she is considering having an affair to spice things up.
The anonymous married mother of two said she knew she could easily get away with it and wondered if it was worth it.
She said she loved her husband and that they had a great relationship, but she couldn’t get over her coworker’s attraction.
The mother said, “I am a married mother of two, have a loving husband and a wonderful life.
“I work part time for the NHS and work long hours with colleagues, one of which I really enjoy.
“He already did a test to see if I’m open to a date.”

The woman added that she wasn’t sure what to do, but she was looking forward to having an evening or two of fun with her colleague.
She continues: “Although it can happen at work, I don’t want to get caught and fired.
“My entire career and personal life have been destroyed.”
She further said that she could easily take him with her to her family home while her husband was at work and the children were at school.
She also said that the couple often had suitable days off, making it easy for them to free up time.
At the end of her post she wrote, “I also feel guilty for considering it and I wish I hadn’t.” But that didn’t stop her from planning it.
The post that was shared with Mothernet quickly went viral with hundreds of responses.
People were strongly against the mother for thinking about the affair and possibly ruining her family.
Someone wrote: “Disgusting, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Your poor children and husband! Get something to do.”
Another commented: “Jesus, it’s awful to consider having an affair, but bringing him into your family home is a whole different story.”
Why do people cheat?
People can be tempted to cheat for a variety of reasons. Below we discuss some of the reasons that can lead people astray.
Unhappiness/Dissatisfaction:
According to Very good mind Dissatisfaction with marriage is the most common reason for affairs. A sexless marriage is often cited as a reason for both men and women.
The feeling of not being appreciated:
Being undervalued by your partner can lead to infidelity. The affair can give the person a sense of worth.
Boredom:
Falling out of love is often cited as a reason for cheating, with many people trying to find the spark again.
Body image/aging:
Middle-aged people can often find themselves in flings with people much younger than them. Being with someone younger can be a way to prove to themselves that they’ve “still got it.”
“Surely there’s a broom closet you guys can use instead of your parents’ house?” wrote a third.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “If you play with fire, you will be burned. And your children too.”
“Rip your family apart for a bit of casual sex? Really? If you think you won’t get caught, you’re wrong. The truth always comes out,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “Keep the idea in your head.”
