[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Distance and time.

This was me a while ago. I've totally forgotten the guy and feeling. I mean, I'll still see him professionally but don't feel the same way at all.[/quote]

I believe you and can't wait to be in that spot.[/quote]

You'll get there. I did try to psychoanalyze myself (ha!) and figure out what this guy had that my husband didn't and it came down to our profession. Our work lives form part of our identity and it's nice that someone understands that side of us very well. But ultimately I wouldn't give up my awesome DH for anything and I just kept reminding myself of how awful life would be for everyone if we had an affair. I couldn't look at my husband and imagine what the kids would think, and rightly so.  Now I see him and I can't even understand why I was so attracted. It'll pass, give it time, focus on other stuff. And know it happens. You're married but not dead. The trick is not to think this is somehow special. It's not. It happens and you deal with it.

You're a good guy OP. Being a good guy is sometimes hard work. :) [/quote]
