Hello Judy, you asked about if I had felt this way about him if I just saw him on the street. In fact I had brought that up in therapy because that was exactly how I felt. I knew if I had seen him just walking around I would have instantly been interested in him, and have been since the second I saw him and we met. But the feelings have intensified hugely since we began therapy and started dealing with the more difficult issues. I feel that it is a good thing that I am able to be very honest with him about my feelings. I am not afraid to tell him because I have been so encouraged by our progress that I know being honest and open is so incredibly beneficial to my progress.
The thing is we are near the same age, and we do have an undeniable chemistry between us. Believe me! It is totally obvious and he has told me that he cares about me and I think he may in fact have similar feelings about me but I know that he would never act on them. I know that for sure but I still feel I have to try for anything I can get. I have been thinking about these feelings a lot but the minute I try to I just get overwhelmed by the pain of being so in love with him and the way he makes me feel. I think that more than anything is the part I am addicted to. The minute I am around him, I am relaxed, happy and feel no pain! I am trying to work through this though and I believe we will make it through this phase but right now its very difficult. I guess I will just keep talking to him about these feelings. I just wonder so much what he thinks about me and if, had me met me outside without being married if he would have been attracted to me? Lord, I need to tape my mouth shut because I am afraid I will ask him that!!! Anyway thank you for writing back everyone. It is so great of you all. This is a really nice forum I look forward to participating.
