Sucks dosnt it? I still have feelings for my old flame/ one who got away but he's moved away with his gf. I guess I have to keep reminding myself that he's an arse!

Yes. I am married with a young child and have a crush on someone. I know he likes me too. He's also married. We've exchanged naughty texts but then one or both of us get cold feet and call it off. Has happened a couple of times but we're both being really good now about it not going anywhere. I know I shouldn't feel this way but it's like being a teenager all over again. My heart skips a beat when I see him. No chance of moving away, will have to remain strong.

LabrysHolder - me too.
Panicked at the intensity of new relationship - broke it off and now am living through the OCEANS of regret I now have. We would have been an amazing couple .... but I couldn't see it and I buggered it up :(
Am moving on (have no choice...) but I suspect he will always be my one that got away :( My heart still skips a beat ...

Yes.

Unfortunately he's not mine to have. How I wish he was.

Needsome: that is my situation to a tee. I nearly made the fatal mistake if seeing him after work but I think he got cd feet. He knows I'm married with kids he is also a lot younger. Sometimes I think it's all in my head really.

I'm a 41 year old guy and it's a struggle for me too - like being a lovesick teenager?!

It's been 3 months of no contact with the one I couldn't have and I'm lucky if I can go 5 minutes without thinking of her - I hate it but it's just the way it is at the moment and I just can't seem to snap out of it - hurry up and get out of my head woman so I can get on with my life!

Whoever invents an instant love detox pill/potion will rule the world!

Good Luck to all those in this position - it'll all be alright again one day hopefully

Oh Lordy yes. I have two.

My husbands boss. Quite simply the most beautiful man I ever laid eyes on. Tall, tanned, lovely smile, gorgeous brown eyes. He's early 50's but looks younger. Have seen him at the beach and my God he has a fantastic body though he doesn't work out. His wife is a very lucky woman. I see him quite often so get to feed my lust a lot.

The other is a man I work with, he gives me butterflies and shortness of breath. I look forward to going to work because of him and I am completely tongue tied in his presence. He just exudes sex appeal and I just know he would be a devil in bed. He's single and just started some heavy duty flirting with me.....
