Wow, just checked in as it got busy at work.... this thread got heated.
Anyhow, I make no excuses for what I did. I was caught, I asked for forgiveness, and when none was available I left with my tail between my legs. End of story.
Being 24 at the time is not an excuse, however, being so deeply involved at that time in my life was a definitely a mistake. At 35 I do not even remotely resemble the clubbing, bar star, testosterone factory I was back then, and my views on relationships and women in general have taken a complete 180. Should I have broken off a relationship with my high school sweetheart to go sew my oats first, and hope she was there when I felt I was done... absolutely. Do I deserve to go to prison or be executed for not taking that action?....no, and I feel like a complete moron having to type or justify that rationale to you, as it is so completely baffling you could support either scenario.
As it turns out, she and I have become the best of friends, after we both realized 5 or so years later, we had both made a mistake committing at such a young age. Not too long ago, I found out she was up to no good for a while in the relationship too, long before I was caught. In the end, we are both a million times happier than had we stuck together.
So I guess we both should be executed.

Nice to know that you condone adultery. Your parents must be so proud of the morals they instilled in you.

As for that cheapshot, my parents have been married happily for 42 years. So leave them out of it.
