Quote: Why was I so "in love" with a man who didn't want to have sex with me and didn't really treat me all that well otherwise?
Now the question I have for you is this: is there an answer to a question like that?
The answer for me is found within the question itself. I discovered that the feeling of being "in love" for me was the equivalent of "emotional fusion". I now feel like I love my H very much, but I don't feel desperately, hopelessly infatuated. In fact, I would say that I really wasn't communicating clearly when I indicated in my previous post that I wouldn't be able to love my H if he didn't want to have sex with me. I could still love him as a friend and as the father of my children, but I wouldn't be able to love him as a lover. This seems self-evident, but for me it wasn't.
