To ask for a head wobble over holiday romance

Separated from long term partner in Jan.

Had a long weekend away in NYC a couple of weeks ago with some friends while he had the kids. Had a bit of a holiday romance. I’m probably using the word ‘romance’ a bit loosely. It was an extremely (erm....) enthusiastic and enjoyable series of night spent together (some going out with our groups of friends too though). I’ve never in my days experienced chemistry like it.

I wasn’t expecting to ever hear from him again and wrote it off as a fantastic weekend but a one-off.

I was completely shocked when he did get in touch when I got home and has kept in touch quite a lot.

The problem is I’m not bloody eating, sleeping or concentrating. It’s ridiculous. There’s no long term potential because of the distance (he lives in NY) and I need to pull myself together.

Does this wear off? What happens now? I am a complete bloody mess and I don’t even know how to put a name on what i’m feeling.

I’m awake in the early hours yet again because my sleep is so disrupted!

My friend met her now husband during a weekend in Vegas. It's worked out brilliantly and they made the Atlantic crossings work for them until they married and chose one country to live in.

There's really no need to give your head a wobble. Why destroy that lovely smitten feeling, especially when you both have it. Enjoy it! A bit of lost sleep and some missing meals are a small price to pay for that glow.

I think it's the excitement of having good sex.

You could see it as a sign that you're ready to move on and start to date etc here. It doesn't have to be dating to lead anywhere, just a bit of good sex.

Watch Catastrophe... anything can happen! It's also really bloody funny too

I met my now husband 2 weeks before I was due to go and live and work in Germany (not as far as NY). He was meant to have been ahem a final 2 week fling 😉 😂 but we have been together now over 18 years so anything can happen 😉

Janicejaniceahmfallin Sorry. Actually I haven't given anything away - you'll never guess how it ends. Totally brilliant from start to finish.
