This happened awhile ago so I’ve had some time to sit with it and don’t really regret it despite the fact it was cheating, even if the relationship was heading towards a break up either way. I just want to acknowledge the fact that cheating is definitely wrong and I’m not trying to romanticize it up front.
But getting to it I had been seeing this guy for awhile and occasionally it was long distance but he also started spending more time working and missing things that were important to me. One such time was an anniversary, I figured I could excuse some of this and try and get us back on track with a surprise for this. We had planned to meet at his place a bit later in the evening but I decided to get to his place early to surprise him. I did up my makeup which I usually don’t do a lot of, got a new lingerie piece (it was a green bodysuit with black lace accents), and got some nice wine. I get to his apartment and wait in his room after getting the lighting right.
