I know what you mean about always having the friendship. He and I always talked together and enjoyed being with each other. I always felt as if my H and I were more like brother and sister than lovers and the OM made me see that and made me forget that H and I had that a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago. I'm still remembering it slowly. The other night I remembered when my H and I started going out and how I would see him in the library (met in college) studying and trying not to get distracted. I remember how I used to write him little notes and stop by his study area and how you could tell he was getting anxious because he had work to do. I used to think...."he is sooo cute..all studious". Fast forward 10 years and that cuteness turned into anger when he put work above me. It is the "Flip-flop" that I've been reading about. Every great quality has it's "bad" parts to it. I remember at the beginning of our relationship how he bought me a necklace for no reason at all just because he loved me (NOT in his "character"), and how he used to take me where his dad worked to "show me off". We were definitely "more than friends". Funny how those days disappeared in my head when I was with the OM.
