Hi! It is nice that there is such a site – sometimes it is easier to share with strangers and to get a more objective opinion and advice. Years ago, I met a man who saw security, respect, support, and later love... So it happened that we lived together. I got attached to him, but for me, it's not that strong, stirring love that makes you feel "special." He must love me, I just can't feel it. For a while, I was relieved that there were far more important things than strong love, good sex, and the man next to me made me feel beautiful and loved. I even thought I was done with love. Until I met the other guy. And I cheated. I had great remorse at first, I was very afraid of hurting the person next to me, and I'm still afraid of it. I think if I hurt him, it's going to hurt me just as much as he does - after all, I'm the one who's guilty... But this one with the other man has gone from a minor adventure to that love that makes you happy and at the same time hurts when he's gone. He was the first to talk about love, although maybe it's not typical for a man to do it. We love each other, but it's so impossible to be together! He's a family man with kids... He never lied to me, I knew from the beginning that we had no future, and at first we were just having sex. We didn't know when passion grew into love. The bad news is, I realized how much I missed all this before I met him, I realized that it wasn't a reason why things didn't go home, but rather a consequence. Sooner or later, I'd fall in love, even if it wasn't him. The reasons are with me and the person at home - the lack of strong feelings, that he seems to have taken me for granted and thinks it is quite normal that there is no romance between us, we fight about trifles, we lack physical and emotional closeness. How do I leave him? I don't want to be a horrible and cruel person, I don't want to hurt him, but I realize that if I don't do it, our lives together will be a lie. Maybe he's got the great love waiting for him somewhere, the woman who's going to make him feel feelings he didn't even know he was capable of, and- fooling him, I'm going to stop him from meeting her... and at the same time I will deprive myself of something without which I will never be happy - love. It probably sidess up the choice seems easy, but when this problem is yours- what would you do?
