I have been married for 10 years. Somewhere down line I stop loving my husband. We had some problem about 6 years ago and our marriage never recovered. The last year or so, for me has been awful. I can’t tell him the truth because I don’t want to hurt him or my three boys. My heart is no longer in this relationship anymore. And to top it off about year ago I came back in contact with friend mine from school. And I have feelings for him. Sometimes I think those feelings came from me not being happy in my marriage. But we stop talking to each like we were because we felt it was best , out of respect for my marriage.I think about him all the time. My heart feels like its missing something cause we hardly ever talk anymore. I care so much about but him. he doesn’t know how much. He knows I care but not to this degree, I love him. It’s unconditional love with no strings attached; it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t love me back. I just want what makes him happy. I’m sure I sound crazy but I’m in love with my bestfriend.
Your in love with someone else but you’re not going to tell your husband, whom you should be able to tell anything… “out of respect”?! How is that in any way “respect”?
Tell your husband and work it out or leave. He deserves to be LOVED, and every year that goes by while you continue to LIE to him is cheating him out of another year of his LIFE. Let him go so he at least has a CHANCE to find someone who’s not half as selfish as you. Have enough RESPECT for your husband to give him a shot at happiness – because it sure ain’t with you.
woot woot!! agree!
