I'm Sorry, I was Desperate

Dear WISY,

Two weeks ago I did the unthinkable.  I don't know how I got myself in this situation but it happened and I regret every minute of it.  I had sex with my cousin's husband.  I wasn't drunk but I can admit I was desperate for some male attention.  I haven't had sex in almost a year and my body needed it.  I feel awful, I feel guilty, I feel like a slut and a backstabber.  

My cousin is the kindest person you could ever know and I love her but lately she's put on some weight and her husband has lost interest in her.  I know this because she confided in me and told me.  I don't know how I allowed her husband to sleep with me.  He was just supposed to be stopping by to drop off a cake she baked for my birthday.  I was getting out of the shower and didn't have time to put on clothes when he came so I answered the door in my towel.  I never expected him to look at me the way he did and touch me the way he did.  I tried not to show that I liked it but I guess my lack of attention was clearly displayed in my body language.  We ended up having sex on my couch.  It was quick and as soon as it was over I felt like I was going to throw up.  He apologized and made me promise not to say anything to my cousin but I feel too bad about it.  I want to tell her but I don't want to hurt her and I don't want to mess up our relationship.

Signed,
Desperate

WISY's Response:

Dear Desperate,

I'm glad you recognize how terrible this is.  You should tell her what happened and prepare for the pain you are sure to feel when you see what your actions have done to your cousin that you claim to love.  She deserves to know who you are and who her husband is.

Walk good,
