Something is not quite right about the whole story lol
The fact you say that you didn't see her again on your trip, does that imply you would have taken it further if you had seen her? were you looking? and the point you've avoided, how old was she?!
Shock as you go into work tomorrow and find that she is actually from the same company as you and was also on a 4 week secondment!
You cheated on your wife doesn't matter if your drunk or not you decided to kiss another woman and now your feeling guilty about it and want other people to justify that it's best not to tell you wife that you went outside of your marriage to seek sexual happiness even if you didn't go the full distance, call me old fashion or whatever but just fell your wife that you kissed another if you can't face the aftermath of what you did then your a pretty low person in avoiding the cost of your own actions, simple solution next don't cheat on your wife!!
Be British, don't say anything and push the thoughts down inside. Cap off with alcohol if necessary.
So you old fashioned views says that the wife should be punished? Is living with the guilt and spending every day making up for it better for his wife and worse for the husband? You're basically saying he should batter his wife emotionally so ease his own sense of guilt.
So long as it never happened again and was truly just a one off drunken lapse, definitely the latter. Anyone advocating that he keeps his mouth shut, but that wouldn't feel the same, is a massive hypocrite!Flip it around though, if it was your wife who'd kissed another guy while she was away on business, would you rather she told you or kept it to herself?
Ignorance is bliss and all that, but I think personally I'd rather know
You can take that to the bank.
When I was in my first marriage, from age 21 until 32, and through my euphoric live-in relationship with the most beautiful Polish girl you're ever likely to see, from 32 until 40, given that scenario of albert's, I'd have been in like a rat up a drainpipe, no danger, but since meeting the woman I love more than anything, from 42 up until the day I shuffle off this mortal coil, aside from one fall from grace, in our first year together, when a 20 y.o. barmaid gave me an err "helping hand?" in the cellar of my local boozer when I helped her find some Galliano for someone still living in the 70s, who wanted a Harvey Wallbanger, I've been as pure as one of the Pilgrim Fathers.
I don't think I'll ever be able to stop my eyes passing messages to my brain, like, "Jeez, I would not say no to that!", or, "Christ, she's drop dead gorgeous", but my brain, with the unwanted assistance of advancing years, shuts those messages down.
Where once it would have passed them straight down to the business department, with an attachment saying, "Get ready guys, just in case he gets lucky", it now thinks, "Naah, if I can manage to send some blood downstairs from his head, he'll probably faint!"
