I’ve reached the other side of an intense personal internal struggle and it is beginning to feel good. I feel like a weight is lifting and a tightness in my chest is releasing. I now know in my heart that my true desire is not to cheat on my wife and my true intention towards Diane is not to pursue an inappropriate relationship with her. Satan did a masterful job of trying to tempt my flesh, jack with my emotions and twist my thoughts, but I feel like I have faced the attack head on and have come through by the grace of God and the strength of Christ who lives in me.
I feel a sense of freedom now. Freedom to be friends with Diane to the fullest extent possible. Freedom to enjoy a relationship with her based on trust and transparency – free from guilt and suspicion. This is what I have truly desired all along.
