the summer of divorce

so like i said i'm a law student, just got through the first semester and going through a really rough breakup right now with my wife. we're both sad but mostly angry at each other for things that happened before and after we decided to split up which is so dumb but here's what actually happened last summer when everything started going south. i was working hard on a project, she'd gotten busy with her job too and neither of us were really around much for the other anymore. one night i got invited to this party at someone else's place and saw an old friend there who always knew how to make me feel better about things. we talked for hours then just kind of stumbled into a bedroom together, she was feeling lonely too it turns out and so yeah we slept with each other that night as friends but it felt like more somehow. looking back now i don't know what the big deal is, seems like such a small thing in the grand scheme of us breaking up but at the time i felt this huge weight on my conscience for weeks after thinking about all the reasons why it was wrong and wondering if she ever did too.
