i feel horrible

Have hope!

I have never been in that situation, but it must have been difficult.
And you're right... you did make the right decision! If you sleep with anyone other than your husband, you are robbing yourself.

I don't know if you know Elisabeth Elliot, but here is an amazing quote from her that I'd like you to see!
"Purity, I fear, has gotten mixed up in people’s minds with “Puritanism,” which, in the popular imagination, is a dour, brittle revolt against all the pleasures of the flesh. The concept of purity does not deny life. Rather, it refers back to the very Giver of Life Himself. Purity means freedom from contamination, from anything that would spoil the taste or the pleasure, reduce the power, or in any way adulterate what the thing was meant to be. It means cleanness, clearness - no additives, nothing artificial - in other words, “all natural,” in the sense in which the Original Designer designed it to be.”

It is hard, with all the conflicting messages we get today about sexuality... but don't give in to the pressure! You are a beautiful, gorgeous woman that has been created specifically by God. Start seeking him more, and he can give you all of the validation that you need! Men won't fill up that void.

If I could give you a piece of advice... I would completely cut off contact with both of those men. They will keep holding you back, and when they are constantly on your mind you won't be able to get away from those bad feelings.

Also... I'm going to leave you with a few empowering verses.
You are LOVED:
Romans 8:35-39 (New International Version)
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 6:10 says you can be strong in God and his almighty power.

Colossians 3:12 says that you are chosen by God and dearly loved.

I will pray that you will have strength and hope to get through your current situation. Never doubt your beauty or value! Also, have hope that this horrible feeling won't last. The joy of the Lord comes in the morning. :)
