[quote=Anonymous]I was once in your shoes. I had two small children and my man got [i]close[/i] to another woman. It was a one time thing and brief, but it [i]hurt.[/i]

Of course, I didn't stop loving him overnight. Or after month. Or two.

And he really was sorry + tried to show me he was.

But like you OP, my feeling gradually lessened and lessened. I stayed for the children and tried to bear w/it for as long as I possibly could.

Then one day I felt so bad for myself.
I realized that I was living each day miserable and unsatisfied.

I was also living a [u]lie.[/u] To my kids. To my family. And mostly to myself.

So I left.
It was hard on the kids at first, I do admit.

But after the dust settled, we were okay.

Now twelve yrs. later, I look back at my decision and know I did the right thing.

For me, once that "in love" feeling dissipated toward my significant other, I knew realistically, that was it. It could never come back.

Once something is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. But it will never be the way it was originally. And if my relationship couldn't go back to how it was in the first place, then I didn't want it anymore.

Hope this helps.  :?  [/quote]
