"Brunette in training"
At A loss for Words - NOT!
Posted
So, I have been emotionally flogging myself this week. See, I have this friend. I used to date this friend. He was the only other person I have ever loved other than my children's father. When we are around each other it is obvious to everyone that we still have feelings for each other. The kicker - he married someone 8 months after we ended (I ended) things. She offered to marry him because his student visa had been revoked and now they live a very turbulent life. The other issue is that his brother is my best friend's husband. That's how we met. So.....

Everytime I see him/talk to him I have these horrible feelings about another woman's husband. I swore I would never have that problem (first mistake maybe). I love the Lord and am so angry with myself for having these adulterous feelings. I know I am forgiven but I can't keeo feeling like this about myself everytime we talk.

So today, I ended the friendship. I explained my pain and my lack of self-control. I know he will respect my decision. I am just a little down because I know it is my fault that I have lost a great friend.

Your a good and selfless person Pita Smiler

Sometimes it's hard to put others feelings over our own, but it will all work out for the better in the long run.

I am glad to hear that you were strong enough to make a decision like that.


You must live life forward, but can only understand it backward.

You did make the right decision, and a decision that I'm not sure all of us could make. Stay strong and I hope you feel better.

Pita..
Just read this, I'm very very proud of you b/c I know that it is very hard to fight temptation like that. Just remember that when you feel your knees buckling at your decision we are here for you and support you 100%. Think of us as your back-up 'sponsers'...the Big Guy upstairs the first call you make.




"Hope" is the thing with feathers-
That perches in the soul-
And sings the tune without words-
and never stops-at all...
