Hi again, well let's see how things are now


Question Posted Wednesday August 10 2005, 8:52 pm

Hi. Well it's a bit late now (2:30 AM), but luckily I warned my partners at work I wouldn't be going tomorrow so I guess I can spare a few more minutes before going to bed.

Now let's see. Reading about your husband reminds me of me; that's curious... and scary at the same time. I believe I am having the same thoughts at this stage of my life; the "being with other women" part I mean. Well I haven't been exactly what you would call a heartbreaker, and have only had another girlfriend prior to my current 6 1/2 yrs relationship, so I'm kind of lame in that aspect :) but anyway that feeling is still there.

We went to live together about a year and a half ago, and we've gotten along pretty well, except for my mood, which sometimes is a bit jumpy. Of course, I was going through a disheartening job situation, which led to my firing (that's another story) one year and a month ago. Then, unemployment for a couple of months and after that a new enterprise with two friends from the art school; this project is sucking a lot of time from me, but I almost never had to steal time from the moments Ispent with my girlfriend. I fear something could be wrong with me, causing me this bad mood that sometimes come out.

I also fear that my feelings for her have become just a "caring for her", and this hurts to say... If anything, I am confused, lost, you could say. But I still feel something for the other girl, be it a fantasy or not. I still don't know if I will tell her anything, we'll see. If I do it I won't be asking her out or anything like it; just plain confession from a friend, but again we'll see. What I will most definitely do is talk to my girlfriend about this, in a few days when I feel more calm. I seem to be feeling a bit better (on and off) so I guess in a few days I'll be ready to be concentrated enough.

Oh and nope, you didnt bore me with your message. It's comforting, to say the least.
I'll be glad you read what you want to say. I feel sleepy now, so maybe I am missing seomthing I wanted to say.

Yes your story sure sounds familiar! I hope it turns out as well.

It may very well be that you just need a break. I hate to think that since you have already invested 6 years, but better to find out now before you are married with children to think about. If you try and it doesn't work that's OK. Just so long as you make sure it is whats right for you. Wait and see what she has to say on the whole thing. You never know, she may say something that makes you love her all over again.
So long as the caring is there...there's some hope.

I have been unable to turn up that article I read anywhere. I am still looking.

Since you have some time off today (you seem to be about a 7 hour difference from Kansas time) why don't you go somewhere quiet...like a park or lake, and sit and think things through. It might help.

I'm glad you're feeling better off and on. Better than being in a constant funk. You may be having some depression which is perfectly understandable. There is nothing "wrong" with you.

If you need to talk between now and then, you know where to find me. I hope you have a nice day.:)
