It didn't go anywhere, but I still feel bad/worried?

[mavlast]

I'm in a new relationship with a woman, but unfortunately, even though I have something awesome I've been guilty of thinking about other people. No harm done, except that I acted on these thoughts twice yesterday. There's a cute and single girl that I met and I asked her to watch some TV with me in a common area (on Facebook). Then I met this gay guy (I'm bisexual) and told him that I thought he was cute and charming ... and we starting talking about what we should do. In neither of these situations did I cheat, and I wouldn't cheat, but I still went too far. It was a clear violation of the Golden Rule if anything: would I want her to watch TV alone with some guy? or talk to a girl about liking her? Then I shouldn't have, especially because I tend to be insecure myself.

 

I will not bring these incidents up to her, since that would just complicate things and I didn't cheat. I will also tell the guy that I'll continue talking to him but cannot gun for him while I'm in a relationship. I'll also cool it with the other girl. But in addition to my regret, I have worry that these incidents will resurface at some point. Perhaps the girl will show my girlfriend the message, or the guy will get spiteful and tell what happened.

 

What can I do to get past what happened, and avoid letting it happen again? I want to be faithful and don't want my relationship ruined over this or something similar. Also, if it ever does come up, what can I say?
