Anyone in Therapy?
| Fri, 05-14-2004 - 8:53pm |
Just wondering if anyone is seeing a therapist? I saw one for the first time this week. Though everything is going great with my OM and has been for almost 2 years I feel I'm at the point where I need to talk to someone. My OM and I are very much in love and want to be together but so many complications exist. Cannot even imagine my life without him in it. Several times a day phone calls and seeing each other at least 4 times a week and sometimes more. Wonderful, relaxing, sensual happy times. I just miss him so much when we are apart. Weekends are difficult but the weeks are wonderful.

It's totally different with my DH. When we fight I realize that we'll work it out and nobody is leaving the relationship. We will go to sleep and be there when eachother wakes up. MM isn't there when I go to bed, or wake-up... so the reality of the relationship has to be put into perspective and the proximity of where he is lots of time is hard to swallow.

I tell myself that I'm choosing to need him. That I'd do just fine on my own if I wanted, but I'm choosing to open my heart and need him. And I'm sure it's true. But it's also true that he's making this divorce so much easier than it otherwise would be. I sometimes think that therapy would make me a stronger person and therefore stronger in the realities of our life together.
But....I also think that if money is going to be spent on a therapist, it ought to be for the kids. I've done my selfish thing. Time to give to them again. Just wish we could all go.

I never stopped having feelings for OM, and we ended up getting back together. So now I'm toying with how to maneuver a D and although I've progressed with more knowledge from working with the therapist, I also feel like I'm back at square one because I'm back at not really knowing myself what I really want to do. Maybe I should see another therapist?
