I have been married for 8 years. We have always had a rough marriage which I have always attributed to the fact that we are very different and not at all compatible. I am 35 and this is my second marriage. I have children from each marriage. I currently lead a perfect life except, I do no and have not ever loved my husband. Sometimes the lonliness I feel is unbearable.
Anyway, I have tried so hard to be faithful as I firmly believe staying married is best for everyone, but potentially me. About a month ago, I answered an ad placed by a man looking for a strictly platonic friend. He is new to the area and had gone through a really tough break up a few months before. He still isn’t entirely over the girl, but has come far in the past months. He is wonderful. Like everyone, he has flaws but all in all he is just a sweet, caring, sensitive guy. Initially our conversations were very open and honest because neither one of us every thought we would be a party to an affair. Our initial emails have progressed to also including emails, facebook, text messaging, etc. We spend hours everyday communicating with each other. He lives only about 20 minutes away, but has been out of town for work for the past two weeks. He is flying in this weekend so we can spend some time together, in person.
Anyway, I guess I am just looking for someone to blurt out the voice of reason. He is rebounding, I am married, there is no hope for us, regardless of how happy we make each other and how compatible we seem at this point, right?
