Hi, I have never done this before but need somewhere to talk. I hope some one is 'listening'. I am a 52 year monogamous man, married 23 years with two teen kids. I met a 21 year old woman through work, we had a great rapport and eventually spent a few weeks texting back and forth, not always at work (we did not usually get to work together, but when we did, it was pure heaven, of course). It was a temporary job and when work ended she stopped texting. NOTE: there was no sexting--
I thought we were having fun and it hurt when it stopped. I clearly liked her more than she liked me. I wonder if I reached too far a couple times (asked her if I could take her out to lunch for our last day). I even asked, at one point, "do you want this old guy to stop texting", she said it was fine. Any way, I think about her ALL THE TIME and every thing else is completely boring and uninteresting. And I keep waiting for my phone to chirp and see her #. ~sigh~ I know I am obsessed but don't know how to stop it, short of riding it out, cold turkey. I kept a diary, sort of, on my laptop and afraid I'll die and the Mrs will read it. My muse inspires me to write. "Funny how blind one can be to the truth, if the truth isn't what one wants to see." Stuff like that.
Any observations or suggestions?
