In my freshman year, I sent a married Internet friend a character I had written. Now I regret it. By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Dear teachers, I must admit with a bit of embarrassment that I am a freshman. Not too long ago, I met someone online who lives in the same city as me. He is married. Initially, we just chatted about my studies on WeChat and he taught me Java. Later on, we gradually shared our daily lives, but the relationship faded. He gave me gifts, ordered food for me, and expressed his desire to meet me (he wanted to hug me). I agreed to everything, and in return, I sent him my handwritten notes (one of which was signed with "I love you, XX," which was copied from the internet and I didn't have time to change it). Now, I regret it immensely. I fear that his wife might find out, come knocking on my door, and it might affect my studies and life, and I'm scared of being disgraced at school (I'm very afraid that his wife might see that note and start to investigate).

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. The questioner should take a fragrant orchid bath and put a colorful string on their wrist.

Get rid of the bugs in your head.

Everyone does stupid things, but not everyone remembers. It's not that people forget, but that they don't think about them.

But the question is like an annoying mosquito. It bothers you and won't go away.

What do you do when a mosquito bites you at night?

Pretend you can't hear it or find it and squash it?

You're not the type to pretend to be asleep.

Now we need to talk about it.

Do you like him?

We won't tell you if you should or can like him, or if it's right or wrong. Just tell us: do you like him?

You liked him.

You let the mosquito in. You knew there were mosquitoes, but you didn't use mosquito repellent. It's also possible that your repellent was ineffective.

This isn't all bad news.

Your "mosquito net" is still intact, so it's time to change the brand of "mosquito incense."

Admit you liked him. You saw the mosquito and now you're swatting it.

Change "like" to "liked."

Don't let anxiety get to you.

Maybe you knew the man you were dating was married, so you're not completely innocent. You're just a young girl who has just started college. You need to mature and get along with others.

The man is mostly to blame, and you are also a victim.

Admit your mistakes and try to understand why you did what you did. Write an apology to the wife. Explain what happened and apologize, but don't share too much personal information.

Someone might ask, and then you'll know who said it.

Maybe you'll see the man's true face when you reach that point.

Face your fears to stop anxiety from controlling you.

In the end, things happen. You had your reasons, and we support you, but you are an adult and must take responsibility.

You woke up in time. The pain you're feeling will help you grow.

I hope the poster will grow up and live up to her youth.

Hello, I'm Strawberry.

From what I can gather, the questioner met a married man online. Initially, it seems that your relationship was on a purely platonic footing. The questioner would discuss your studies with you, which would have made him feel like he was caring for you like an older brother. Gradually, however, you began to share your thoughts with each other, from discussing studies to daily life.

As two people begin to share their feelings, their relationship and emotions will gradually evolve. The man in question began by offering gifts and ordering takeaways, which could be interpreted as a way of gradually making the OP feel good about him in order to implement his other ideas.

When he felt the time was right, he proposed to meet with the questioner, and the questioner agreed. He proposed to hug the questioner, and the questioner agreed. They both said that it is often difficult to resist a kind offer, and when material issues are involved between you, your relationship has taken another step forward.

It seems that the questioner may be somewhat inexperienced in relationships. When someone of the opposite sex treats you so well, it's natural to feel a positive connection. The questioner was impressed by the other person's generosity and kindness, and she felt compelled to reciprocate. She gave the other person a gift with a message written by herself. While she initially viewed it as a kind of return gift, she now has some reservations because she's concerned that it might have unintended consequences.

It might be helpful to clarify the relationship with the other person and maintain boundaries.

From my perspective, it seems that the other person is not simply trying to make friends with the questioner. If you continue to spend time together, I believe he will ask for more from you, and it will not be as simple as just a hug.

It seems that he is testing the attitude of the questioner and getting used to his presence in his own way. Regardless of whether the other person is married or not, it is important to remember that we have the right to make friends, but friends should maintain good boundaries. Given that the questioner was aware that the other person is married, it is commendable that he accepted the other person's gifts and agreed when he proposed to hug you. What are your thoughts on this?

It's possible that the questioner views an embrace as insignificant, but it's also worth considering how an embrace might influence the other person's thoughts. It could be seen as an opportunity to gain further insight into their feelings towards you.

If you feel afraid, it might be helpful to try to eliminate that feeling.

Perhaps you could give the other person a gift with words you have written yourself. Although it is a copy, I believe the questioner has read it before giving it to the other person. Could you consider which of the similar words that express love for you the questioner wants to express to the other person? I think many people might feel that this is a confession when they see it!

The questioner is concerned that if the other person's wife sees it, it may have an impact on his life and studies. Given his apprehension, it might be helpful for him to take a courageous approach and address the situation. It's important to remember that nothing actually happened between you.

If you still have the other person's contact information, you might consider asking them to throw away the words they wrote, explaining that you copied them. It might be best to not let others see it, as it could cause misunderstandings. If the other person ordered takeaway for you and sent you gifts, they naturally have your information. You might ask them to delete it. If someone sees it, it could also cause misunderstandings. Finally, you might delete each other's contact information. After considering it, if you feel that it is not suitable to continue contacting each other, you might ask the other person to forgive you. Only by no longer communicating with the other person can the original poster prevent the things they are afraid of.

It might be helpful to try not to worry too much about things that haven't happened yet.

It seems that what the original poster is afraid of may not have happened, nor is it likely to happen. It seems that nothing has happened between you, so if the other wife finds the words you wrote, she may also ask her husband what is going on first.

Once you understand that nothing shameful has happened between you, it will be easier to handle the relationship before the other person finds out.

It might be helpful to remember that there is no need to be overly anxious about something that never happened. This can sometimes prevent us from looking at a situation rationally and dealing with things in a constructive way. Perhaps it would be beneficial to let go of this short-lived friendship and focus on your usual life.

I hope my answer is helpful to the questioner. Best wishes,

Hello, classmate. I can see the confusion you are facing right now, so I'm going to give you a hug!

You're experiencing behavioral problems. I'm here to tell you that you're going to be just fine. Take a deep breath, and let me give you a warm hug.

Everyone will do things in life that they regret.

You need to make sure you don't make the same mistake again.

As the saying goes, "Experience teaches wisdom."

This book tells us that there are three kinds of things in this world: our own affairs, other people's affairs, and the affairs of heaven.

You can't control what happens to the word you sent to the married Internet friend.

Calm down and stop worrying about things that don't matter. You're only scaring yourself.

The result is probably not as bad as you think!

If you are still confused, you should seek help from a professional counselor.

Students get 50% off. Just fill out a form and submit proof of enrollment.

Your university likely has a resident psychologist who can help you.

The psychological counselor's services must be free of charge.

You will find an effective solution to the problem you are facing as soon as possible.

These are the only things I can think of at the moment.

My answers above are helpful and inspiring. I am the answer, and I study hard every day.

Here at Yixinli, we love you and the world loves you too! Best wishes!

I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed and scared in this situation. It's important to prioritize your studies and wellbeing. Maybe reaching out to a counselor at school could help you navigate these feelings and concerns.

It sounds like you've found yourself in a tricky spot. If you're worried about the potential fallout, it might be wise to cut off all contact with him and focus on your personal growth and academic responsibilities.

Charlie Davis Success is the realization that failure is not a roadblock but a speed bump.

This is such a delicate situation. To protect yourself, it might be a good idea to talk to someone you trust, like a close friend or family member, who can offer support and advice on how to proceed.

Feeling regret and fear is completely understandable. Taking steps to distance yourself from this person and ensuring your actions are above board can help safeguard your reputation and peace of mind.

I understand the anxiety you're experiencing. Perhaps drafting an honest and respectful message to this person, explaining that you want to discontinue the relationship, could prevent any further complications.
