Wow, I am such a yo-yo. But I am sure this is the right thing to do... I think. Anyway, for all of you who think I'm nuts, and those of you who don't, it's still all true. I still love him madly, I still can't see being a mistress, and the strain it is causing on both our lives is insane. How he could want it to continue for years is beyond me.
And I was so calm, too, at the time. I wasn't even angry, and I thought I would be. I just knew what my timetable was. I sat down and figured it out, how long I could deal with the idea of being "hidden" in someone's life. And Years, plural, was nowhere near possible.
But afterwards, I cried and cried, and wrote lots of hopeless tragic-sounding emails.
But today is a brand new day. I have come full circle. I am 31, not 13. I am chaste and alone and I love someone I cannot have. Beautiful.
This part, at least, I already know how to do.

I love her so much.
I would not shatter my 4 year old daughter's concept of home; not for the promise that the pieces can be put together in a way that provides her and my Beloved with all the love they need.
When is the right time? 5 years old? 10? Excuse me if I am new at this.
Or don't excuse me. Get the stones. I am the stereotypical cheating married man.
Except, I love Kat.

Date: 2001-11-04 12:14 am (UTC)Oh! That reminds me. Do you remember months and months ago sitting outside at 'Vox, and an older guy and a younger guy sat and talked with us, and one of them was named Aaron (Double A-R-O-N he said it just like the aamco commercial and made it stick in my head forever)? He's working at 'Vox now and wants to know when the heck you're coming in to see him. He works the overnights often.
Anyway... Love you *hug*

Well...
It was while you were continually checking your e-mail. About all this.
Hope it works out for ya!

Re: Well...
Ya know, Az, a girl isn't supposed to let a guy know she's waiting for the phone to ring... or for him to answer her email....
... but if that's as big an idiot as I made out of myself ... I'm actually improving! :)
Or maybe it's Bitmap's bartending. Better intoxication through technology.
Thank you for being kind.

For that matter, I can also understand why he decided not to end his marriage. When my semi-son was still here, I wouldn't have done anything that had a remote chance of hurting him... and he wasn't even my biological son.
In short, this is all one big fucked up situation.
