Married but had a lesbian affair! We broke up but why is it so hard to forget?

A female age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I'm married 18 years with 3 kids. I recently had a lesbian affair with my best friend of 16 years. I confessed to my husband, who forgave me and since then we have been trying to put our marriage back together. I have always been attracted to other women but never acted on it. I also lost my mother this year and loosing my best friend along with it has been too much to bear. I do love her very much and my husband too. I am a christian and know the church does not accept this kind of behavior, so I'm trying hard to forget about how right it seemed. I know my place is with my kids and husband, but I can't stop thinking and missing the one person in my life that understands me completely. How can I stop these feelings and go on with my life the way it was? Desperate housewife
