When I was wasting my life with married woman you helped me walk away

A young man is feeling depressed and thinking about the bad news he is reading online through his smartphone

DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN a naughty fling with a married woman turned into an eight-year-long affair, I realised I was wasting my life. 

But I didn’t seem capable of ending the relationship and walking away. 

Being with her was too intoxicating, and the sex was too good. In addition, the belief she would finally leave her husband kept me there.

I’m 32 and she’s 41.
