In time though i somehow broke through and got her to enjoy it and explore it much more and it's been wonderful. Then again, even now, less frequently than before, but those urges do pop back into my life. Maybe it's because i was a virgin when i married.... But then again david raises an interesting point. I think we have been created in such a way that we, at least most of us, like change and variety and even if we find variety within the marriage, we almost can't help but be curious about the variety outside the marriage.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07600688963323599498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977742222747233882.post-45765249141732572232007-08-16T23:49:00.000-04:002007-08-16T23:49:00.000-04:00pl,Thanks for the understanding.I can't wait till ...pl,<BR/>Thanks for the understanding.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait till it does change... for all of us.

The safest thing to do...MM,<BR/><BR/>That is a terrible idea. The safest thing to do in such a situation is to do what CR is doing and make a clean brake. I do think that men and women can be friends but its a very fine line. When you have the type of emotions and connection that CR & the married guy has, that is a very different story. Friendship is just not a workable situation.<BR/><BR/>CR, I am so sorry that you are going through such a hard time right now. It really is one of the most difficult things trying to work out competing feelings. On the one hand is our loneliness and wanting to emotionally (and physically) connect with someone that cares about us. On the other hand is the negative consequences of doing so with someone on a temporary basis and knowing that it will result in pain for ourselves and the other party.<BR/><BR/>I think this is a universal struggle for all singles. There are no really satisfactory answers to this dilemma. At best is having good friends of either gender who you can connect with on an emotional level and can be there for you during difficult times. When that friendship is with an opposite gender friend, then if we wish to preserve that friendship for the long term, precautions against physical intimacy must be taken.<BR/><BR/>Anyway you slice it, not being in a permanent loving relationship, sucks.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully that will change for all of us singles in the near future.P Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13946942159171947268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977742222747233882.post-47956380642908080702007-08-16T19:29:00.000-04:002007-08-16T19:29:00.000-04:00mm, Maybe I will.

Somehow men don't have as much difficulty talking about sex.<BR/><BR/>mm,<BR/>No, I did not tell this to him. I posted it on my blog. It was extremely difficult to face him, after I had told him that I wouldn't do this. PLUS... I've been very depressed lately. That makes it difficult for me to communicate and get out of my own sadness etc. I didn't/don't (but I am trying to get back) the energy it takes to deal with people.<BR/><BR/>He was well aware about what was going on and how frightened and sad I was. But that still is not an excuse... just an explanation. <BR/><BR/>Only someone who has suffered from depression can really understand. It's when people tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps, but you don't even have any boots let alone straps.<BR/><BR/>I should have told him... and I did try. But I don't think he thought there was any effort because even just e-mailing him and trying to face him was so difficult.<BR/><BR/>I didn't want to upset and disappoint someone that I care so much about and who goes out of his was to be there for me. What a way for me to repay his friendship? So instead I hid my head in the sand. I was wrong, and I'm sorry.<BR/><BR/>Do I wish I could take back the hurt I caused YES!<BR/><BR/>Do I wish that I never met him? NO!<BR/><BR/>I'm not going to ask for forgiveness because I don't really deserve it. I just hope at some time down the road he might understand just a little and not be as angry at me.come runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264472908368786844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977742222747233882.post-25170477746519857922007-08-15T20:43:00.000-04:002007-08-15T20:43:00.000-04:00Did you tell this all to him?

It would hurt his kids tremendously.<BR/><BR/>It was wrong of me to even develop some sort of relationship with him, and try to fool myself somehow...<BR/><BR/>I was selfish. I guess I just wanted someone in my life and since he understood me so well and was interested in what I said not just my body (because we never even met) that couldn't walk away. <BR/><BR/>His words were loving arms around me. It wasn't just sex. Maybe that's another reason why I couldn't go through with it. I felt myself falling for him, and he was already taken. It's possible for me to have sex with someon without falling for them, but if I start to fall with them and then have sex the pain of good-bye is so much greater after the intimacy we've shared.<BR/><BR/>This is an explanation of my behaviour not an excuse. I know that I was wrong... and I also know there's nothing I can do to make it better...<BR/><BR/>I'm sad because I miss him. He wasn't just a dream of sex. He was a caring loving friend.come runninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264472908368786844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-977742222747233882.post-14739150659519979752007-08-14T23:58:00.000-04:002007-08-14T23:58:00.000-04:00"Except that I can't bear to hurt people.
