The letter addresses a man who has been unfaithful to his wife for nearly two decades. Despite maintaining multiple affairs across different locations, he is now dealing with feelings of guilt and is contemplating whether to end these relationships. The response emphasizes the complexity of his situation, questioning the motivations behind his guilt and suggesting a reevaluation of his moral compass. It highlights the importance of honesty in relationships and the need for self-reflection regarding past choices and their impact on his marriage.
If you were significantly motivated by sentiments of what's 'right' and 'wrong' in this specific area, you wouldn't have been engaging in infidelity for nearly two decades.
It's easy to say, 'Stop that, because it's wrong,' but if you were prompted to write this letter by a momentary whim, that is unlikely to occur.
I'm curious what, after 19 years of affairs, is causing you to feel this guilt. Did something happen that prompted you to consider your wife's possible feelings?
Some internal shift toward a different moral code may explain why you're questioning your past behaviors after all these years.
