i found a love letter from ow#1 to h that he had saved. it had been folded, then crumpled, then folded, then crumpled. i could tell he had agonized over what to do withit. i found it flat in a big book quite by accident. it was very immature. talked about their true love forever, how they were seperated by time and place but not in their hearts. how she cried all the time thinking of them being trapped away from each other. it almost made me throw up from the shock of finding it and my head pounded and my heart raced. my h still refers to her as his child hood sweet heart. it really hurts. he was in contact with her our entire m until a little over a year ago. they were "just friends" after 6 monthes of pa. but for h, actually acting on his fantasy and trying to live it out proved benefitial. he is over her, and sees exactly what the relationship was.
i think your h will reach that space too. their relationship (your h&ow) was so based on fantasy, and highschool romance.
my dad was an alcoholic and my mom was distant. it does impact our choices and what we "settle" for. but you are strong. you are a grown up and you can make choices for your happiness. please take care of you! have fun! give yourself what h can't right now.
oooo, i would love to call ow#1 and read her crap sappy letter to her husband!!!!!!! he doesn't know. but i save that for my fantasies! hehee. i am a believer in what comes around goes around.
