| I fell in love with pretty much a stranger. I am married and he is separated and has million kids. We also live in different cities. I can't stop thinking about him and feel physical pain for the last few days over this. How do I fight this? How soon will it pass? |
| Re-read your post. What you describe cannot be love. It is infatuation. That you don't know the difference indicates you have no business being married. Your husband deserves better. |

It's Chemicals talking to ya http://www.salon.com/2015/02/14/love_is_like_cocaine_the_remarkable_terrifying_neuroscience_of_romance/ |
| Yes, the chemicals are amazing. But don't fall for it. You need to look at you and your marriage and figure out what is wrong there. |
|
OP - how did you meet this man? You say he is practically a stranger but you do know a few facts about him (maybe not his favorite drink but where he lives, marital status, that he has kids).
And what happened for you to "fall in love"? Chemicals or not, this sounds like you fell in love with a Calvin Klein billboard ad. Ain't real. |
| No you're not, cool your shorts. |
|
It takes about 4-6 months to pass once you cut off contact.
Then you will realize how crazy you were to consider this love |
|
Here is the reply you know you are looking for: He could be your soulmate, and the only way you will know is to have sex with him.
Problem solved. |
| Bridges of Madison County. Read it or watch the movie. |
LMAO This. OP, get it out of your system and move on. |
| How could you love someone careless enough to have a bunch of kids? He sounds like someone who enjoys the chase, getting women to fall for him. He's not stable, and will abandon you like he's abandoned the others. |
Bingo!! Was my thought as well. BTDT. |
Others? I don't recall OP saying the million kids were from million women... |

Thank you all. I know it is all crazy and short-term, I will probably never see him again. I know him only for a week and he is already gone from my life. Crazy or not, it is not a simple lust and not physical attraction. In fact, I am not even sure I would like to have sex with him right now. It is something totally different and I feel pain like I lost a parent or sibling. The feeling is like I know this person, perhaps from another life. I am not usually spiritual person but this is something I never experienced in my life. It is not the"love", I called it wrong, but unfortunately I don't know how to call this. It is not a physical attraction at all.

This only works if he is your neighbor. |
