@[musicnmeaning:29841] Wow. Take every line by line interpretation and reverse the pronouns. My husband of 17 years, the only man I had ever been with, the love of my life, the father of my two children, my constant companion and friend, out of seemingly nowhere, left me for my best friend. I've spent the better part of the last decade trying to understand how he could have shocked me, not just me, everyone that knew us, including his entire family. In the end, despite knowing I did nothing wrong, it is always we who blame ourselves. "If only he could have expressed to me what he was genuinely thinking...." Destroyed any ability to trust or love again. It's been 12 years. I have been intentionally alone for 12 years. I don't "date", despite an abundance of opportunity, which is flattering, but that is about it. One of the reasons I believed so strongly in our marriage was because of the intense sexual desire he had for me, nearing the point of obsession, that never wavered after 17 years. The last thing we did was have sex, as we usually did. And then he was gone. One of the many questions I have left unanswered is if he was addicted to my sex until he finally "broke free". Living with no closure is agony. |
