Lucky

I have a new friend whom I have grown to love in a very short amount of time.
Our relationship is mainly virtual, but very real. He is open and honest. Always willing to listen. Never condescending. And someone I have grown to depend on.

He and I have a lot in common in relation to our marriages, so that is normally where our conversations end up.

For me, my marriage is not bad enough to leave but it isn’t good enough to stay at times. In his marriage it is wonderful in most aspects, yet she is selfish.

We are both aware there will always be greener pastures, but are realistic enough to appreciate what we DO have.

He has a psych degree and is awesome to toss thoughts to and hear his perspective. Deep meaningful conversations is one thing I dig. He definitely met a talker.

Just today he said this to me.

You have tricked yourself into thinking you can leave for good, but you can't.
For your well being...you must either accept him and his short comings...and try to be
happy, or leave. And don't look back.
You are very sweet woman, you have a lot to offer a man, and I want you to be happy.
And really those are the only ways you can be. Remember comfortable doesn't equal happy.
You are not being fair to yourself or him.

*This is only a tiny snippet of our IM conversation, but I think you can get the idea of how genuine and honest he is. I truly treasure him.


To my friends: I am very lucky to have so many of you in my life that care about me, unconditionally, and have my best interests at heart. Believe me that it is reciprocated.
