Worry Wart

   I love Saturday. It's a chance to unwind a little. I'm wound WAY to tight believe you me. I worry about so many things I have absoulutly no control over at all. Someone said, if you pray why worry and if you worry why pray....I worry about that :). 
    I rummage around in the past trying to figure out how this that or the other thing went wrong. I never ever get over a death of someone close and have never gotten over the loss of my teenage girlfriend, the one I wrote about in my previous article. Since its been 30 years, I'm guessing I never will.  She didn't die she just left for another guy. Three years we were together. I wanted to die in her arms someday and I think of her nearly everyday.
   I am married today with children. I love my wife too. I suppose I've glossed over all the bad stuff from that previous relationship and made it all sugar and sweetness I don't know, all I do know is I'm in love with a memory and it sucks to be me.
   Anyone that I've talked to about this and believe me it's only a few in the last dozen or more years, say the same thing....get over it. I wish I could. One therapist I had said that when we have a relationship  where our needs were met pretty well, we tend to go back in time to it when things are not so good in the one we're in now. I suppose that is what I do. Our marrige is  kinda strange. We're more roomates than lovers. I'm an incurable romantic but I have no idea what makes this women tick. I think she loves me but she has issue's too. We COULD have a good marrige I think, we just don't know how.
   I've thought about leaving but it would kill my kid or make her "go bad" or or or...see how I worry. I don't know what will happen when she gets grown, that question remains undecieded in my mind. All I know is I'm a sex addict and a married man that hasn't had sex in about a decade....and remained faithful...by the grace of God. I did it wrong first as I'm prone to do but adultry is not the answer, at least not for me. So I feel stuck, trapped, whatever.
Ugh....whine whine whine....I hate that!

Thanks, I appreciate the sentiment but honestly I don't want people to feel sorry for me....at least I don't think I do. I don't know what I want or what I expect to get from this. What you said DID make me feel better so maybe sympathy IS what I want.....I just don't know.

We all hang on to those memories and idealize, I fear. Nothing is worse than a partner who really isn't a partner at all. I wish that I had an easy fix for you, but I don't think that there is one. I am so very sorry.

I hate it when people say things like, "get over it," or "let it go." Sometimes it is just not easy to let things go or get over things. Each person will eventually be able to process what needs to be processed while on the journey to healing. We all move at different paces and it's ok to be gentle with ourselves and take baby steps. That's my take on it anyways.

Maybe we ALL need to be institutionalized. I was going to say that first you took my user name and then you took my life story, but it seems as if everyone has had a bit of your experience! So, you're not alone at all. We are here and we do know how you're feeling. Take care.

your post is all to familiar. I guess we all go through the same brambles, but what I learned is to not believe there is a 'right' way for anything, if you survive the onslaught you did good!

You and I are so alike. I am still in love with my college sweetheart and it has been 44 years. I think that there are some of us who fall in love one time and never really love like that again. I also tried marriage; it was an utter failure. I lived in a sexless relationship for 13 years. Adultery was not the answer for me either. I was and am a religious person.
