Old Girlfriend Got Married

Zap, How are you doing with this now? Is it still wearing on you? Did you talk with your wife?

Doing much better. I have talked things through with the wife but I hardly mentioned this.

I came wheeling in the driveway tonight on my motorcycle and she was waiting for me. It hit me again how lucky I am to have her.

I actually slept last night without the aid of chemicals.

I cannot believe how messed up I was last week.

What a difference four nights of sleep makes.

That is fantastic news, Zap!
What you wrote up there is like a line from a good Love in Action adventure book.

I am very happy for you!

Not only that… but you also have the two coolest chics(Alpha F & Julia) to chat with.

Julia’s real sweet, but I bet she can kick some major ass if she wanted to.

And Alpha F… where do I start, she’s almost as intense as me; and she’s a girl, hehehe. Alpha has some deep thoughts, don’t let her seduce you Zap, or you’ll have another issue with women.

Maybe you needed those doubts though, to help you fully understand how important she is to you, you know? Sometimes the bad is meant for the good even when it looks really bad. Like, insane people. If they didnt share their psychotic views, would we know what psychotic people were? No. If anyone is crazy on this site, Im sorry if I insulted you in any way.

I’m not insulted, but the other 8 people in my head are pretty riled up.

Dude, you are happily married. You will never be with this woman and it was not right, no matter how much you wanted it to be. You are not going to have a fling with her and your wife is better than she is. So cut the crap, stop thinking about it and move on!

If only it were that simple.

Actually I am doing much better but I still am thinking of her. It will fade a little but it will never end, I am just one of those romantic guys.

Wow…I think it’s awesome that a guy finally admits to even having feelings!!!

It took me a good 15yrs before my feelings for my 1st love finally went away. I hated having feelings for him. He got married, had kids. Me, I traveled and married my career.

I think I finally came to grips with the reality of the feelings, which was, I was missing the memories of the relationship and not necessarily the person.

So sorry to hear about your pain. Just dont let it mess up your marriage. Sounds like both women in your life are lucky to have you care deeply for them.

So, in essence, the simplicity of your truth may well be that:

You are in love with the idea of being in love.

…which objectively speaking could mean:
She is just a puppet being pulled by the strings of romance.

P.S. I am not heartless I just rationalize my emotions. Intellectualizing love turns me on. It must be my psychotic side…

Don’t feel bad. Fry and Leela were meant for each other.

Sounds like torture to me. Thinking about someone you will never be with and knowing that those feelings will and do have a negative impact on your current wife and family. Sounds like infatuation, not love.
