Micheal, Thank you for the reply and question. As for what I will be giving up. Let me give you a brief history about the person that I am involved with. We met back in High School, I was dating one of his best friends. We would hang out when ever my boyfriend and he would get together, we were just simply friends back then and were up until about a year ago and that changed. That is how I ended up where I am at today. Now the OM and I have ALOT of friends in common, in fact all of my friends are his too. They all are hoping something positive will happen between him and I just because of the 'chemistry' that we have when we are together, and it truly is chemistry. So when the brake up with the OM is final and I have made my desicion to stay with H, I will have a very lonly life outside of the things that I will do with H. I will have no body to call up and say 'hey do you want to hit the bar tonight for a couple of drinks' or even call to complain about the stuipd things that H just did. I know that if they are true friends they will be there to support what ever decision that I make and it should not matter, but I am not living in a perfect world and neither are any of you. I would honestly be losing yet another best friend at the cost of staying with H.
Now before you all get on your soap box and say why not do that with H, lets face reality here even though we all love our spouses to death, for the most part. How many of you can say that you would want to spend 24/7 with them with out any other interaction from outside people? Honestly my H would drive me nuts. But don't read a lot into that statment either, there are definatly things I do like to do with H, so we do have together time and its fun.
