ever

ever do something totally stupid without even knowing you're doing it and then you just feel stupid? so stupid that you're completely out of control of the whole situation and you just have to wait to see what happens, wait to see what the other person does, maybe they will get to the email you sent before their partner does, before the interrogation starts...before the jealousy starts pounding at the door. this is happening to me right now and i just have to wait it out. maybe things will be ok, maybe not. but i feel sick.

i like someone i shouldn't. i did something i could have prevented. i sent an email to the wrong email address. i have felt this way before, one time i sent a personal email to a bunch of potato farmers and boy was that embarrassing. luckily i didn't dis my boss in it, huh.

anyway back to the subject at hand. this person, he sent me a picture from his computer, his email address with his wife. it's complex, and trust me, i'm not breaking up the marriage or anything, i just met the guy!

i assumed that, like all his other emails, it was sent from his yahoo account. big mistake. always check. but i didn't. and then i sent it to their address. with any luck he'll check it before her, but who knows. i have no idea what other people's internet habits are.

i feel like wretching.

gonna go eat some dinner, clear my head, hopefully make some sense out of this.

wait.

there is no sense i can make out of it! i screwed up!

my only saving grace now is to hear from him that all is OK. otherwise, BABOOM!

*sigh*

live and learn. there are worse things in the world.

Welcome back and belated happy birthday!

First off you don't need to blame yourself for anything. If this married guy is having secret web contact with you it's his problem, not yours. You cannot be responsible for his wife finding out. If he doesn't want wife his wife to know anything, he shouldn't be doing anything. I never make any morality judgements on the goings on of people involved in any type of relationships, but you have got to realise carrying on something in secret is just waiting for it to be discovered. The typical way one partner finds out something is going on is usually finding either email or text message from the third party.

Don't beat yourself up about it, you shouldn't have to bear the burden of someone elses secrets & lies.

thanks for the words of encouragement. he pretty much takes full responsibility for all that stuff so i'm not carrying all of it.

it's not like a secret love affair, it's a new friendship, but apparently his wife is jealous of any woman he ever talks to which is an added complication. again not my problem, but i'm in it. *Shrug*
