Update : I came clean to my wife, and she revealed she’s also been seeing somebody for almost 2 years. I deserve the karma. We’re getting divorced. Never been more lost. Again, deserve it.
I’m officially a married man in my 30s who is having an affair with my coworker. The self loathing and hatred is very real.

You both ended up doing the right thing. This is hard, crushing even, but you’re still alive. In your 30’s no less! You’ll live, and you’ll both find a way to be happy again. Accept responsibility for the wrong, but also take a tiny bit of pride that things ended in honesty.

I appreciate the idea of still devoting ourselves to a marriage, but I don’t believe in staying together for the sake of staying together.
