Please be gentle on me. I have NC for this.
I’m married with 2 children. Last year I met a man at work and developed strong feelings of attraction towards him. It brought into sharp focus that I’m very unhappy in my marriage. DH and I had relationship counselling but have decided to split up.
My friend from work (also married with children), no longer works at my company but we have remained close friends and chat often.
He’s a very good person who prioritises his family although he seems unhappy in his relationship. He’s happy to give up his own happiness for the sake of his family.
Nothing physical has ever happened between us but I think we’re both attracted to each other.
As our time apart has increased I hoped I would forget about how I feel about him. Instead the feelings have evolved into something deeper and I believe that I love him.
I don’t know what I’m asking really. All I know is that I miss him constantly, I love him dearly and really miss him.
What do I do going forwards? Be his friend and stay in his life in case his circumstances ever change? Will this love and longing ever go away?
Has this ever happened to you and did you have a happy ending?
Thanks for reading.
