I can only begin to imagine exactly how frustrating.
And I'll do my best to take your advice

Don't stop having adventures because you didn't summit Everest, Joe.
Good things, like bad things, end. No way around it.
Loving a parent will inevitably bring the pain of loss, unless they happen to outlive you. But we don't try not to love our mothers and fathers because we know the loss will be terrible. And parents don't try to protect their children from future grief by being less lovable, less worthy of grief.
When my dad surprised me with my first puppy, he knew it meant that I'd eventually lose a beloved dog. He'd been through it himself. He knew it was worth it.
At least with an affair, there's a chance it will turn into what you're hoping for. It will end, but maybe in softer way that leaves better memories, and maybe not until you're old and gray and won't have long to grieve.
All love ends with loss, at least in this lifetime. We could only avoid it by refusing to participate, from the moment our mothers held us in their arms. It would be a painless world, and a colorless one.
