Author LakesideDream Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 This, Lakeside, is something that scares me. Emotional devastation gets harder to overcome as we grow older. It also takes a bigger toll on our health. I am wondering of this is as good an idea as I thought it was in the beginning. You are taking a major risk mainly because you do not know if she reciprocates the feeling you have for her. Perhaps it would be wiser to go along with this with her full consent. I hate to say this but if she didn't leave her huband back then what makes you think she will do it now? Or even want to continue being in an affair with you, emotional or otherwise? The fact that her husband has had a stroke complicates things as well. She may not want to leave him in his time of need. I am only saying all this because of your admission that you would feel devastated if things didn't work out as you hope they will. And I wouldn't want this to happen to you at 57. This is a time in life when peace of mind and good health is of utmost importance. Jusr concerned is all. Marlena, Not to worry, although I appreciate it. I have learned how to deal with emotional devistation, especially when I can anticipate and be prepared for it. I am positive that I will lift a great burdon either way. If I am successful it will be a joy. If not, I will eventually be able to put the hopes and dreams away and begin to live a different way. Link to post Share on other sites
