I loved him, he loved another
by Ms. Lonelyheart
I started what was supposed to only be a physical relationship with a guy I worked with. We both knew it wouldn't last forever...3-6 months at most, it was supposed to just be fun for us both. But, the more time I spent with him the more I really cared about him as a person. I fell in love with him without intending to. Then he found an old love of his online...she turned out to be married, but not happily. She lived 3000 miles away, but told him that she still loved him and would leave her husband for him. He ended the physical part of our relationship, but we both still wanted to be friends. We are both still very much attracted to each other and are trying very hard to keep our friendship, but because of the physical attraction. it is proving to be a very trying thing to do. As I said, he is a great person and I would rather have him in my life as a good friend than not have him in my life at all. I know that I will get over this heartbreak in time, but that doesn't make it any easier. I have started looking for another job to make the healing process go a little easier. This is not my first heartbreak and most likely will not be my last. I've told my guy friend that I honestly don't think my "Mr. Right" is out there anywhere and I may be right, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on love. Nothing in the world feels better than loving and being loved, so I am not ready to give up yet...I just wish the healing part when love goes wrong was not so hard and painful. I believe in my heart of hearts that he and I will be able to maintain our friendship and that I WILL get over him. I just wish there were more men in this world who are as open, honest, and straight-forward as this guy is...one day I will find another like him and the next one will love me as I love him. I just wanted to share this story with the world because I think it will help my healing process and may give hope to others in similar situations. All my best to any and all who suffer broken hearts. Peace to all. 10 Secrets About Men |
