Adulterous acts with a sociopath

[Hopeful301]

I am a married wife with two beautiful girls and I am pregnant with my third which is my husbands. I was manipulated by a sociopath that was my contractor at work. The affair lasted about ten days and I confessed to my husband immediately after. I do not belong to a church but do attend mass pretty regularly. I did go to confession and the priest did abolish my sin…My husband forgives me and I am working on my own personal boundaries and the effects the mind games had on me. I still feel internally conflicted when going to mass…when I take communion. How do I even go talk to a priest about my internal conflicts? Any advice would help!

When we do things that conflict with our values, we feel guilt. That is our conscience speaking to us. Guilt takes time to lessen.

How do you talk to your priest? You make an appointment, you hold your head up, you go in, and you tell him what you’ve told us here.

You take it one day at a time. God bless.

You may want to seek out a professional psychologist in addition to a priest. This situation is very concerning and it would be good for a secular person to weigh in on the ramification of these actions in the social scope. I am most concerned there as a power dynamic that was violated.
