Caught having an affair.

This is my story... I don’t know where to begin. Facebook, Skout, Line, Tango, Beetalk, WeChat, Tinder, these are all amazing apps which technology has produced for everyone who needs them. There are many communication/dating/social media apps out there... but in the wrong hands, many despicable things can happen. I’m a married man, with wonderful children and a very dedicated wife. Overtime, the marriage started to be unexciting. The sex started to be bland... that was when the 7-year-itch started. I started chatting with random women online through these apps. I hid my hand phone from my wife constantly. She never suspected anything. My job requires me to work late. And it’s quite normal for my wife and kids to be asleep after I reach home from work on a normal day. I’ve been using some of these communication apps since they were innocently launched, for official business and keeping in touch with overseas friends. But over the years, these apps made finding people easier and easier. It made chatting easier. It doesn’t need any face-to-face awkwardness. You just start a conversation with a simple “hi”, and things can get out of hand from there. Anyway, I was caught by my wife. It was the worst feeling seeing her anguish and distraught self over many months of late night crying. I came to my senses, I broke off my affair, it was difficult. I deleted my other social apps and its accounts, and kept the ones I only needed for family. I changed my job and got home everyday, at dinner time, to spend meaningful time with my family. I told my wife everything. She forgave me. Till today, my only dedication/time/money is only for my family. I’ve made a personal promise to never jeopardize my marriage, family, every again.
