Finally I get the truth - 03/29/11 04:26 PM
I haven't been on here for quite some time but most of you "old timers" will know who I am and what had transpired in my marriage.
Recent life has been a turmoil to say the least, and I won't get into details because it would take forever and a day to type it all.
Bottom line, H finally admitted that he never really had a sexual attraction to me right from day one - WOW, what a blow that was. After 22 years of marriage he tells me this now. He said he respected me, loved me as a good friend, thought I was intelligent, smart, pretty, would never say a bad thing about me etc. etc. but the other part just wasn't there.
The real sad part is, he thinks this is normal. He said a third level course he took in university said there was friendship love and sexual love and people have one or the other but not both. He truly believes this - how sad is that?
He said he "really missed" me and started to cry. He misses the time we spent together, doing things, talking etc. and I can't say I don't feel the same but it's like having a real great roommate (which in theory he truly was)but I am not looking for a roommate. I am looking for a MATE - one that loves EVERYTHING about me, not just some parts.
At least now I know the truth - as much as it hurts to an unbelievable depth. I know he is missing an incredible chance to have real love in his life, but I have to respect that is his decision. I need to move on with my life now
We have been separated for 8 months so there is only 4 left and I can file for divorce. Hopefully we can remain friends but he feels this might be impossible from his perspective. I guess time will tell.
