Unfamiliar Emotion

I have been so down with my husband deciding to leave me. We have not been intimate in years, and I mean years, as he always had excuses. Since finding out that he just didn't feel anything for me in that way, I have felt ugly, old and overweight. I would never even look at other men, as it was disloyal to my husband (he, unfortunately, did not have the same loyalty issues). Today as I left work and was walking to the train, I saw the most beautiful man I have ever seen. My husband is short. This man was tall and dark. I am embarrassed to say that it tripped me up and I fell over! Yes, right in front of this beautiful man. He ended up helping me up and I muttered a thank you, as I was too mortified to look at him. I've had so many bad days lately, it was certainly nice to have a day like this, and begin to feel an emotion other than pain, even if in the process I looked like a complete klutz.

Sending lots of hugs your way as you begin to experience these things again.

Quite honestly, when I divorced I had been so demoralized and disrespected.... sex, or the thought of ever caring if I had it or wanted it, was something I knew I could live the rest of my life, being perfectly content, without.... BUT... after I distanced myself from my marriage, something changed... and I found a part of me that I thought was gone forever.


Cherish it.
