In a dilemma.can someone love two people in the same way?
Hello all out there who may be interested!
I'm in my late 40s and I have had a full life and travelled quite a bit.
I have overcome some serious challenges in my life quite successfully.
I have been married for almost 25 years and have a child who is dear to me and successful in his education.
I spent a great deal of my adult life chasing my ambitions... I enjoyed my career life.
Today I am financially all right and have a husband who loves me and is willing to stand by me through my lows. He was not always like this... he did not understand me and was quite insensitive to me. But today that is different.
So, you ask what real problem do I have? I should be happy and count my blessing right? I do, but...
I have met and fallen in love with a very sensitive man about 5 years ago. He loves me back dearly and desperately wants to be with me.
I can be happy with him but not on the back of my husband whom I have a deep bond with and whom I want to make sure is happy.
I'm constantly weighing the pros and cons of these two relationships. The man I have fallen in love with has not received any commitment from me but he knows what I feel for him as well for my husband.
So, break off with this other person and give it time and things will improve in my marriage, right? Well easier said than done. I cannot stop thinking about this person, yet I am not sure leaving my marriage for him will make me happy.
Being a normally decisive person, this state of indecision is taking me down and I can't seem to have a sustained sense of well being.
Any help or similar experience you have overcome will help.
Thanks
