Ahhh, whatever, I"m not defending myself, I was duped, and after much temptation by some very fine girls I almost fell. It haunts me. I have a bad secret , the first of my marriage.

I was hoping a public confession would make me feel better, It hasn't

Dr. Laura, pre-religious nut, would tell you to keep it to yourself, particularly in your case where you actually didn't step over the boundary.

In salving your own conscience with a confession to your wife, you would only end up hurting her. You would feel better, she would feel rotten, distrustful of her man and her marriage.

Confess your sin to your minister, Dr. Laura would say, and no one gets hurt.

Now, I'm not making this up as I was driving out in the middle of nowhere in cattle country one fine day, down by Longview, and Dr. Laura was on the radio.

A tearful guy came on and confessed that when he was helping his neighbour MALE renovate his house they had a sudden and rather lustful homosexual encounter amid the ruins.

He was beside himself with anguish and felt he should confess to his wife. Dr. Laura gave him the advice above.

Do you want to hurt your wife? Do you want to hurt her even though you actually didn't, you know, really DO anything?

And that's all I've got to say about that.
