well i have it bad
i dont want to feel like this but i do, im not going to go into full detail in case someone in rl reads this, but h is always round, pestering me to get back with him, but, i just dont feel that way about him, i still care, but after the pnuemonia thing etc, i think it killed the love i had for him and i certainly dont feel any passion.
however, family and a couple of people i know, say i should try and give it another go, not to thriow my marriage away...now ive started to have strong feelings for someone who lives near me.
im friendly with his parents, and hes moved back home after splitting with his last girlfriend, hes just started seeing someone new, so i know theres never a chance in a million years, but we get on soo well, we have everything in common, hes lent me some books that i was interested in and i find conversation so easy with him.
yesterday i was chatting to him and his mum came out and said"stop chatting my son up!!" tongue in cheek, but i went bright red..it must be so obvious..i feel like a daft school girl..but its kind of made me realise that i cant ever make a go of it with dh....and i wish i could stop thinking about this bloke....thanks for letting me ramble.

enjoy the feeling

WishICouldGiveUpWork · 08/09/2006 14:25

ooooh love that feeling however impossible the situation.

SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 14:26

i know...wish it wasnt unrequited though.

Spacey that feeling is coming from inside you and probably has little to do with this bloke. It is you realising that you are desireable and that there is potential out there for you to have a happier life. Enjoy the feeling but don't do anything rash, if this bloke really likes you it will happen naturally, if not a fab woman like you will easily attract a lovely man. Even if you do go back to your h at least wait a while to regain lots of confidence and self esteem.

Molesworth · 08/09/2006 14:27

oh it is a lovely feeling

but I think you're right that the fact you feel this way about A.N.Other says it all about trying again with dh

SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 14:31

carmenere-i dont feel desirable, nor do i look it, so i dont think he fancies me.

when we got chatting, we found out we like the same sort of music, same tastes, we were both into art etc..ive never had such an animated conversation with anyone..i guess i gave the game away to him..he will probably never speak to me again.
although i do now have one of his books.

ooh I dunno, you look lovely in that school gate photo you posted!

Carmenere · 08/09/2006 14:35

Yes but you are beginning to feel the potential of life again by fancying someone. And anyway I saw that picture of you the other day and you are gorgeous

SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 14:35

lol..because dd is being on her best behaviour, she keeps saying, oh you are attractive mum, hed be mad not to fancy you!.
its been a long time though, ten years in fact.

OP posts:
SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 14:36

i suppose its a good sign that i fancy someone else..when dh left he made me feel so crap about myself..however this guy does have a girlfriend, theyve only judt got together..ho hum, never mind

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 08/09/2006 14:40

Its a fab feeling Spacey. And it tells you for definate that you dont want H back and allows you to start to move on (well in my case anyhow)

SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 14:47

yes, i guess it does, if i wanted h back, i wouldnt be feeling like this about someone else.
im so sad, if i hear his car come rtound the corner, i have to peek out the window

bluejelly · 08/09/2006 14:58

Saw your picture yesterday, you ARE gorgeous -- and am not just saying that to make you feel better

SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 15:25

its not going to happen with HIM anyway, his mum said hes staying the night at hers tonight

OP posts:
MoreSpamThanGlam · 08/09/2006 16:32

Oooh...I would do anything for that feeling....

Maybe he thinks not a chance in hell with you because of H?

Be a bit more flirty with him...go on...for me!!

How exciting!!!

(How sad am I...?)

SpaceCadet · 08/09/2006 17:48

when i said hers..meant his girlfriend.

OP posts:
MoreSpamThanGlam · 08/09/2006 20:23

Yes girlfriend but not lifetime partner....

SpaceCadet · 09/09/2006 17:39

he came back this morning, took his mum into town, came back, i was outside washibng the car and his mum came over and started chatting, after a while he came outside and said hi, we engaged in idle conversation and he went out again, however he set my ds1 a challenge, to draw the front of a t-shirt, he said he would do it too and gave ds 2 hours, he then said, just come outside when you are ready and ill meet you..didnt acknowledge me at all, so i guess thats the brush off, he likes my ds more than me.

CaptainCavemansMummy · 09/09/2006 17:56

Such a lovely feeling....sigh.
Enjoy it!
Last time I felt like this was in a dream about Richard Hammond last week....sigh.....

SpaceCadet · 09/09/2006 18:04

dont want to feel like it..not if i cant have him!

OP posts:
nutcracker · 09/09/2006 18:36

Who says you can't have him ???

It is a lovely feeling though your right. Unfortunatly for me I first felt it about a week after I let dp come back and it wasn't for dp, talk about bad timing.

SpaceCadet · 09/09/2006 18:39

hes got a girlfriend nutcracker, hes just started seeing her too, so is probably really into her..

thats seriously bad timing..what happened?

OP posts:
nutcracker · 09/09/2006 18:43

Oh no SC sorry to hear that, hopefully she'll turn out to be a right cow and then you can have him.

Me and the bloke who makes my stomach do flip flops is my best friends cousin. We are both really gutted that at the mo having a relationship or anything is quite impossible cos of my situation and the fact he lives in London and I live in Brum.
He is coming up though soon for a family party and so I am seeing him there. Until then though it's lots of talking on msn and texting.

I should feel awful and guilty, but I don't.

SpaceCadet · 09/09/2006 18:45

dont feel guilty...so does he feel the same way?
