    We all need love and want love especially those who cannot give us the love we want. People change, circumstances change...our hearts deep into the core do not and often give us a reality shock to lead us where our moral fiber is. It is not to say you are happier now than as you described with your encounter, but it is to say there is something deep within you that does not want to or perhaps allow you to realize that which you sought so deeply to have. Whether it is your vows, a feeling embedded in a memory or what, only your subconscious may know. When things are right, they happen. People cannot dictate what is right or wrong for you, only you can do as you see fit. I wish you love, a life without pain in wondering, and wisdom in finding the peace you need in being happy. Thank you for sharing your story.

    Well, lady. I am a member of this group so .... " _______________." And I am still in love with him 14 years later. What I think was "wrong" about it was I was married, I did a lot of the lying. I think he was honest. But my honesty came thru and tho he called me a liar and said he would never want a wife like me, I hit my bottom and I am forever changed because "___________________." Divorce is hard, but for me, my marriage was chaotic and having fallen in love was a miracle that got me thru divorce and these past 14 years. I still think about the confidence, hope and satisfaction he gave me to face my future. From that point of view, I have to believe he truly loved me, possibly more than I say I love him. I wonder if he thinks of me or feels as changed and inspired as I am. He's still single after all these years. I "owed" him a visit a few years ago when it had been a decade since he changed my life. I believe we are soulmates. Its true I needed God's forgiveness, but the only reason I know it is because I was touched with .. yes. Real love. I am forgiven, I know. And I will never forget :).

    The courage it must have taken to express this to the world Bekiloohoo, is immeasurable. As I can't fault you for wanting more from life; I can however - say I couldn't be more proud of you as an individual for know WHO you are - and what YOU stand for. The same man you married IS very capable of getting you the feelings you experienced with "Ink Slayer" - it just takes focus, dedication and like everything else in life - some really hard work. Please, at ANY time - feel free to contact me and I would be happy to speak with you about this situation as well as ANY that you may be faced with. Just always remember, the same strength it took for YOU to walk away - is the same strength you have inside to get your marriage, family, and husband - into a place of happiness that you yearn for.

    *hugs*

      Would you feel comfortable with adding me to your circle of friends here on EP? I would like to maybe talk with you about a few situations you and I may have in common. Would you be cool with that?

    Good lord - Bekiloohoo... I'm sure you've heard every push in either direction, from others as well as the ones internally. No one could know where another finds peace, but boy was that a sacrifice. I'm not sure whether more courage was required to leave, or stay, but I hope you're happy now with the one you chose.

      But what you do have is the memory, and if thats all you'll have, I honestly believe the saying to have loved and lost is better than never knowing love at all. You are violating nothing when you dream, and I'm glad at least you have that to close your eyes and visit. It's a sweet pain, but sweet none the less.

      I believe (in that level and depth of change) dreaming of someone else not one's spouse is a violation. This is the depth I was given no one else has given me. I have lost nothing :). I do believe in living happily (as a couple) ever after and that has not happened yet (which doesnt look very promising -- 14 years later!!) but I have myself. Love for myself was awakened which -perhaps ironically- is the essence of why I love the one who changed my life so much. *I* am found, I am loved, I am in tune with love. But I dont know if I love him more than (or as) he loves me.. Are we equals? As a woman, I feel this man is that Prince Charming who comes along and saves the damsel in distress. If this is what fairy tales are about, I begin to think Prince Charming doesnt need to be saved tho my Prince Charming mentioned once to me (to paraphrase) 'who is for me?' as if he knows he saved me and .. I dont inspire him quite as well...... Is this my sexist view? I am no stranger to relationships, and perhaps I have saved a man or two. Perhaps one or two of them wish I felt as saved by them. I have to believe something like this has a mutual aspect or couldnt exist. But I also see that something so powerful may by its nature be one-way... Nonetheless. My heart is changed. I wouldnt dare to dream of playing around in fantasies (or lies) pretending to be in a relationship that is supposed to be about all my heart and soul. I think we all believe in a love like this, but the reality is sooooo very hard to come by. What a miracle!!

      I understand what you're saying, but its impossible to erase memories - and it really has nothing to do with 'fooling around'. As Bek said, this particular one had nothing to do with sex. Most of us crave sex, but sex that means something - as an expression of what the other should feel (as you feel for them).

      If you pretend to forget something that deep, you just add a kind of repressed psychosis onto an already depressing situation. When times get tough here for me, and nothing seems as it should be, I count myself lucky that I am able to close my eyes, go back and recall one of the happiest times of my life - wouldn't give those memories up for the world and couldn't repress them even if I wanted to. She obviously feels good just recalling how he made her feel - being too late to 'erase' the memory, I'm sure it provides a human warmth in the cold sometimes... It's bad because it may highlight what you don't have now, but it's good that it lets you know you are capable of expiriencing it - that's its not all just some made up myth that only exists in fairy tales and movies.

      Yes. One difference between Bek and myself is I divorced. I dont fantasize about my ex husband :). I do think of my Love on an amazingly regular basis. And yes, as you mention, sex is a strange mix. I suppose there will always be psychosis in this world but its hard to believe the 60s didnt burn out all sexual repression. I feel purity about the man I fell in love with whom I met online. I wonder sometimes if I will "turn" into Mr Hyde, but so far (and I am certainly not saying it didnt take a long time -- I fell in love 14 years ago) I feel it was the "best of times and the worst of times." for me. I dont think I can be worse than I was when I met him. And better? If I "deserve" an equal, wonderful partnership, hopefully in this life, I will feel I have risen above even my worst.
