Stay with family or allow the new love to happen?
I am a 35 year old woman. I am married and am the mother of three young children.
I have always been happy in my relation. But a while ago I fel in love with another man. He also fel in love with me. The feelings are very strong.
This puts me in a difficult position and I don't know if I want to divorce or if I want to stay with my partner and my family. This is of course a major decision. On one hand I don't want to give up my family and my relationship. But on the other hand I also want to allow this new love to happen...
Falling in love happens to everybody. Also me. I learned for myself that this is a signal that I miss something.
What is it in the person I fell in love with that attracts me? Do I miss that in my partner? Or did I forget to give that to myself? Why do I need it? Do I like to feel special? Why do I need that from somebody else?
These are the questions I ask myself when I fall in love. It is very clarifying. Acting on those feeling is for me a bridge too far.
Falling in love happens. You cannot help it or prevent it from happening. It used to be fantastic to be in love and it still is, now that I am married.
What it is about, when you fall in love, that you make the right and wise decisions.
But the game is so fantastic and so seducing. Many people have the feeling to finally feel alive again, the attention from the other, the butterflies.
Well, try and stand that. Many people cannot and that is not so strange.
I think it is important that you are 100% open and honest to your partner. And make sure you have loving people around you to support you when you fall in love again.
I think (almost) everybody every once in a while falls in love with somebody while you are in a relationship/marriage. It is about the choices you make at that point.
You can always fall in love with somebody else, even when you love somebody.
