Falling in love with a (female) friend

[Trulymadlydeeplycrazy]

I don’t know what’s happening. Female, mid 40s, (mostly) happily married for 15 years. Ds started secondary in September and school ran a few events to bring parents together. Got to know a some of the other mums and as the weeks have passed, have spent more and more time with one. And I’m falling in love with her. Crazily, madly, want-to-spend-every-minute together in love. I’ve never felt like this before. What on earth do I do? I’m not looking for this, and would never have an affair - but I never thought I could feel this way about a female friend. Just wanting to know - have I lost the plot or can anyone else identify with these emotions?

Yes absolutely and it's not as uncommon as you think. For the last 11 yrs I have been in a relationship and am now married to a woman - after only ever having had relationships with men and being married to a man. I was 42 with two youngish children when I fell deeply in love with my wife. It utterly blindsided and consumed me.

I know other people who the same thing has happened to. You are not alone. If you want to talk more feel free to PM me.

Oh wow! Is it lust? Will it pass if you ignore your feelings? How do you feel about your husband?

Is she a lesbian? If not then I guess it makes it easier to know that nothing would ever happen..

It has happened to me and over the years I have known many other women that have experienced the same. It is not as unusual as some think. Some act on it, it's mutual and it works out.
It didn't work out well for me then or since. But hey....
