"I (52) have been married for 20 years. My husband (57) has been cheating a lot with several young women, and even after confronting him, he refused to change. I couldn't leave the marriage because of our four children.

In 2022, I decided to get revenge and have been dating a 29-year-old Ben 10. The man makes me feel so loved and appreciated, but the problem is I'm deeply in love. I just wanted the relationship for fun, but he says he loves me so much and can't imagine life without me. I feel guilty about cheating on my husband. I don't know how to end this relationship with Ben 10. What should I do?"

End the affair immediately

Relationship expert Jane Murimi advised the woman to end the relationship before things got out of hand.

She argued that revenge on her husband was the worst decision she had ever made.

"Let her end it as soon as possible. Whatever the two have is infatuation, not love. The woman seeking revenge and the Ben 10 running away from responsibilities and opting for an older woman. The Ben 10 might decide to tell her husband about the affair because he has nothing to lose," she advised.
