[quote=Anonymous]OP here...Yes, technically I did the initial rejection, although I've really tried to look at it like there's been no rejection on either side.  We're incredibly compatible, but just happen to be married to other people, with whom we are also compatible.  All that compatibility should be the basis for a great platonic friendship - we even agreed we could be each other's best friend for life, right?   But it doesn't seem to work that way once the romantic potential is removed.  I was better at "compartmentalizing" the two relationships so some semblance of our romantic connection could continue (she couldn't do it - said I consumed too much of her thoughts at home and generated too much guilt).  She's better at shutting down the romantic side and ignoring (moving on from?) where we've been.  I know she's right - energy that belonged in our marriages was being redirected where it had no business being.  I also know this is an incredibly selfish problem that's not worthy of much sympathy.  I appreciate the supportive comments from those who have been there, and the tough love ones as well.  [/quote]
