I keep reading how some of these As go on for years and years but they must have breaks dispersed through out right? I mean an A that goes on for 13 years - that must have like a big old break in there somewhere yeah? and obviously you don't see each other daily I mean that would be a WHOLE nother relationship to tend to - how could you do that day in day out? So, it must be like see each other once a year or something right? Just wondering how these As can go on for so long!?

Mine lasted 4 months - and now I'm faced with it being over - and yet I could see it going on indefinitely if I don't break the tie NOW! I mean WHY would I want it to go on that long and if I got away from it through a "break" why would I ever go back to it?

Just looking for some wise thoughts on this! ;)

It's funny that you should bring up this subject matter. My MM and I have been friends for several years and have been in our EMA for a year now. We saw each other yesterday and were talking about how our relationship has evolved. It started out as "All about the Sex". We are now even closer as friends and agree that most of it is due to mutual respect for each other and (as funny as this may sound) our spouses. I can't say I"m in love with him but I do love him. There is not a day that goes by that we don't make sure to touch base. He's a special and fun man. I feel fortunate to have him in my life. I know most people in the world would turn their nose up to this but this relationship actually helped save my marriage in many ways. Good luck! NMR

Hey NMR,

I just wanted to respond to your message... as I pretty much feel the same way about my EMA. I feel MM has kept me grounded and has helped keep my marriage together and I think in many ways I've done the same for him. I know that my feelings for my DH have changed... but I still do love him and don't want to walk away... and at the same time I feel there is a wonderful love between MM and I... and we rarely go a day... besides weekends without touching base... and even when we don't have the time... I simple quick email of SMS to let the other know where we are.

To be honest... I hope I can keep things just the way they are.

luv and hugs

Sweet
