I'll Keep Your Secret

When you start to get emotionally invested, you cant stop it. I got too close to a married man. I told myself it was just a friendship, no harm. But, the more we talked, the more it became clear how we connected on every level. I knew better but let it continue. In the end it caused me a lot of pain. I'm still trying to get over not having him in my life. But I truly believe you can't just stop when you start to feel something. Try not to blame yourself, you opened up to her because that is what happens when you care.

Sometimes you can't stop the heart from what it wants.. Also you don't want to wonder years from now, what if I have chosen my heart and lifted my guard up? Life is full of chances, and if it doesn't work at least later you don't have to ask your self what if..

And for the record I am way too intelligent.. I still can't Believe that I let myself be played for a fool !

I was played for a fool too! I will never trust again. Nice post!

@shelikesher - You're right about that, and twice I've come 'that close' to telling her. But her world is in upheaval and she needs me to be an ear: telling her would only add to her sizable burden. I can't do that to her - I just can't.

Thank you Luna. What's particularly frustrating for me is, I know this stuff; I'm a big boy; I should know better. Even now I'm still feeling the sting of the moment of realization.
Again, thank you for replying.

Your right, just keep being there for her, and when you feel the time is right then tell her. But you don't want to wait too long either.. Good luck hope it works out for you.

I'll be there for her as long as she needs me. After all that's what friends do for each other. And if the right time comes then yes I'll tell her. I'm not holding my breath.

I'm not the smartest person ever to walk the planet, but I had convinced myself I wouldn't let THAT happen again.
haha the joke's on me.

LOL at 100 yrs old you should be wise!

Yeah, well so much for that theory.

Thank you newgirl. I feel like an utter fool, but again that's my fault.
