had an affair with my patient after we both got divorced

so i was this nurse at the hospital and yeah you know how its all about boundaries right? well this one time a new pt came in, hes like around 40, been through rough times too. his wife left him and he looked so lost. it was hard to see but then we started talking more, found out i had just gone thru my own divorce not long back. we clicked, understood each other's pain. then one night were both at the hospital past closing time, working late. there was this moment where everything else faded away and all we could think about was eachother. hes like "can i kiss you?" and i just melted, said yes. it felt wrong but oh so good, like we needed each other. we kept it secret, knew the risks of crossing those lines, tried to be careful. but then one day rumors started flying around the hospital and everyone was talking about us, spreading lies. it wasnt pretty, felt betrayed that people would say stuff when they dont know what really happened. now were done for sure. its been tough, lots of regrets. i just wanted someone to understand me and be there after my divorce. but we let things go too far. im trying not to think about the consequences now, just wish it all never had to happen.
