Dear Felicity,

At the risk of completely destroying your image of me; I cheated on John once.

It was 6 months into our relationship. It was an ex boyfriend, and halfway into it, I suddenly remembered why we broke up in the first place. And why I love John so much.

The thing is, John never would've found out about it, except after three months I couldn't take the guilt anymore, and I told him.

I never used to believe an affair could do anything but destroy a relationship, but from that moment on, I never lied to him again, not even about the smallest thing.

Sometimes in a relationship, going through hell, isn't so bad if you come out of it a little stronger. I guess the same is true about friends.
