J3B,

Thanks for looking in. I didn't expect love to return right away. Heck, she loves me, really does. Just isn't attracted to me. Kind of hard for that to return. I've denied it sooooo long. Told myself that it's just hidden, she's been hurt and is protecting herself, etc etc.

Maybe we can be friends apart. I doubt it, because that seems tough when unrequited love is involved. And if she married me without loving me (in the right way) then I'll have some forgiving to do.

We'll be coparents, and as civil as possible because we both cherish our daughters.
