I Am The Other Woman

I love him so much.

I have a love for my husband I have an attachment to him but I have never felt anything for anyone like I do for this guy. When me and my husband were first together was madly in love with him, still doesn't compare to this. The love for my children is all incompassing it's around me it's in everything I do but it's not the same as this either. The love for my family and my friends it's different.

I'm not saying I love him MORE than my children, of course I don't. Can't compare it to that or the love for my family and my siblings .. They are just so different.

I love him as if he is a piece of me that I've been looking for forever. Like he is the one thing I have that shows me a reflection of who I am even the flaws. The things I can't love about myself I love in him it makes me feel like a better person just be known by him just being in his presence I feel better.

I only wish tonight he knows how much I love him and that he feels even a fraction of that for me.

I feel like I left out but it's different from how I love my husband as well, partially because I am very codependent on my husband, I have a hard time picturing my life without him and I know I could live and go on with life without this other man, although I would never want to, and sometimes, many times, I want to without my husband.
I'm very attached to him he's my friend he's my partner there is a resentment though in our relationship and it can be very emotionally abusive at times very stressful and difficult and I'm not in love with him at this point.
Love has never felt easier with anyone than it has with this other man I feel naturally connected to him. Passion is out of control, the butterflies have never left from day one and I see him almost every day. Wish with all my heart a marriage could last like that butterflies forever.

@missme - The butterflies in real life have a short life too. Then know if you married this butterfly feeling man, then this too will be short lived. It's like you date him, but stay married to your co-dependent husband. I would seek some professional help, you have issues that you cover up with sex. These men are tools to you to cover up some insecurity that you have.

@SoFine: Hold on !!!! Stop right there ,funny how you NOWS sniff out the newbies .The butterflies can last a life time ,if you let it . Be kind and exciting to your man ,be relaxed,stressfree , keep wearing that sexy nighty , play sex games .It can all be fine forever .BUT Wives go in a funk and lose that . Men do also and wives stray . But when the attraction and love is gone ,its GONE!!!
