You say you're failing in your attempt to lean towards integrity -- what does that mean?

By the way, I'm not telling you that you have to or even "should" behave with integrity. It is a choice; one that in my experience, makes life work much better; but it's your personal choice to make and I'm not judging you, whatever you choose. I realize you're in a tough spot.
Well if it's all or nothing I'm obviously not acting with integrity, as I know what a person of integrity would do, and so far I'm unwilling to do it. I continue to have feelings for this woman, lust being a big part of my feelings but not the totality of them. I lack the resolve to ignore these feelings, I've tried in the past to ignore them and have failed.
