[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did at 45 with a man outside my marriage. I didnt want to. But it became quite clear to me that love is kind of this crazy cocktail of chemicals that makes you feel amazing and crazy and bonds you to someone. It’s not magic, it’s not even really real. My guess is that feeling is what you are talking about, OP. Which is different than the love I have for my DH (with whom I also had the crazy chemistry a lifetime ago) and different from the love I have for my kids which is just in my bones. [/quote]

What happened?[/quote]
It ended when he moved away. I entered therapy. Didn’t tell my spouse (I have a child and didn’t want to blow up our family). Have done some very hard work on myself and on my marriage so I won’t be in that position ever again. [/quote]

I’m glad to hear you were able to work through it. I’ve been in a similar position and it is quite hard.[/quote]
Wow, thank you. Usually when I share I get the onslaught of “you’re a POS”. Which is crazy because nobody makes me feel more like a POS than myself anyway. Life is messy and people f up. I think I would be more understanding if my DH messes up now too. I really think people are all just doing the best they can. I am terrified the walls will come down at some point and I will face the music, but it’s not like I’m letting myself off the hook. I am really putting myself through the wringer. [/quote]
