Today’s topic: One mistake I wish I never made Hey Crew, I really need some help. I am a 26-year-old man and I have one of the most beautiful women by my side. We just recently got engaged and life seems to be going well, however a deep dark secret of mine seems to keep creeping up. It was about a year and a half ago that I received a mysterious text from a secret admirer and at first I thought nothing of it. I even thought that it was one of my friends playing a trick on me. I soon realized that it was really someone that I didn’t know and the thrill of texting back and forth got the best of me. Everything at home was perfect, but I just loved the thrill of texting or should I say sexting. I soon asked for pictures and she sent pics and I sent all kinds of pics as well. We made a promise to never share these with anyone else and I thought she wouldn’t. We then set up a date to meet at a public place at night and this is where the drama began. As she approached, I realized that this wasn’t a woman and it was a old college buddy that had been in the closet. We then got into a heated argument and he told me that If I walked away he would post my pictures and messages on the internet, tell people at my church, and my girl. I then begged him not to do that because of my relationship that I have with my church and also it would devastate my girl. He then told me to let him give me oral and I did and then we went our separate ways. That was the only time and the last time I ever did anything with the same sex. I have recently been getting text messages from this person and threats about bringing everything to the light. Please tell me what to do. I know my fiance will leave me and my life can go down the drain off of this one mistake.
