1. I do not think any of acts befits the person of your stature, It lacks any reasoning of maturity to say the least.

2. Now the good news, you have nothing to worry. No case lies against you nor you can be implicated in 498A case or in domestic violence.

3. Even if any case is filed against you the same is likely to bereft of any merit and you should not find any difficulty to contest it.

4. Be careful in indulging in any reckless act in future.

1. If and when FIR for criminal intimidation and under other sections is lodged against you, you should obtain anticipatory bail from the court to preempt your arrest.

2. Service provider retains the call records, but the actual conversation is not recorded except on binding obligation of law imposed on it.

3. You represented yourself as a guy and sent a message to this woman. At the most, a complaint of stalking may be lodged against you.

4. In future you should stay away from the guy you loved and his wife.

You are an educated women .Wrong always a wrong which done by any way. Sending a message is not a crime. But the content in the message is an important thing to check whether you had committed a crime or not? If you committed a crime, its punishment is small. Imprisonment for 2 years, or fine, or both—Non-cognizable-Bailable—Triable by any Magistrate—Compoundable by the person intimidated

So no Need to worry too much but not to contact her again by phone.

1. The police can trace your messages even for a long time,

2. Do not take law casually and think that you can escape if you use boy's phones etc. If police want they can unearth the truth,

3. She can bring charge of criminal intimidation against you for which you shall have to take AB,

4. One serious probable outcome of the matter is being over looked. She can file a complaint of adultery against her husband for which he may be punished with jail term, if the charge is proved,

5. It may not be difficult for her to prove the said charge.

6. Take extreme care about confidentiality of your said longstanding illicit relationship.

1. All messages recorded in computer or mobile phone can be retrieved,

2. It has to be checked what had you told her and depending on your such statement, the degree of your offence will be decided,

3. All call records can be retrieved whether from her telephone to your or from your telephone to her.

whatsapp messages are traceable after few years because all messages are kept safe on the server. but cyber cell can't take any action against you unless any offence committed by you by using information technology sources. in your case no offence is made out from your given facts. sending friend request to pre known person is no offence. sending msg to him on facebook, twitter or whatsapp are never constitute criminal acts unless its lead to commit any offence.
