I had an affair with a married woman

She tells me she can't take the mental as well as the physical torture of being in love with a man she doesn't love. So she wants me to marry her. But I don't know how to tell her that she was just a time pass fling for me. Our relationship was purely carnal and had nothing to do with love and marriage.

Dear Chibboo,
If you had the guts to sleep around with a married woman, you need to have the guts to tell her that you did it only for sexual pleasure. You have landed yourself in a mess. She was naive to fall in your trap and at the cost of messing up her married life! Tell her the truth and ask her not to break off with her hubby. Not for a moment did you think that you were ruining her life for your sexual pleasure. She was also dumb that she could not see through you. Waste no time and get away from the scenario and tell her to work on her marriage. u00a0
