I hear your words and know in my heart that they are true, but it hurts so darn much sometimes. There are times when I feel like I can't do this (marriage) anymore because I can't stand the pain of knowing what life can be like and not living it daily. But at the same time I feel such a powerful desire and continuing love for my wife. I feel like I am being pulled apart between this unrequited love (which is love nonetheless) and that part of me that just wants to fly away and be free to live my life to the fullest without the daily pain of rejection.
