Hello all,

15 months ago I found my self getting attracted to a man in my community. I was very suprised and I fought hard against it but it grew stronger and stronger. We are both married with children. I suspected he felt the same. We never voiced our feelingsout to each other but it was there and I do not think the people around were fooled. I had my head in clouds about this guy and would have done anything for him. My husband complained about our closeness and I would try to curtail it and would succes for a short while. Eventually after a serious complain 5 months ago, I cut the guy off and withdrew emotionally. I thought I was getting the hang of it until some weeks ago. This time, I found myself really without restraint, also wanting him sexually, very badly. Up until then ,the physical atraction had been strong but never with this intensity.
A few days ago, after a gathering where we met, I found later that night that I was not so crazy about him anymore. All of a sudden,,He was just a nice guy! I didnt have the urge to see him all the time (I was ALWAYS thinking about him the last 15months)or talk to him. Infact the last time I saw him,I spoke to him more out of concern as I am worried about hurtig his feelings. I dont know what to do WRT him or myself. I know I had fought against this feeling for so long yet, I feel like Ive had a crash, I am hanging in midair, lost , Like I've lost something, like I'm incomplete, unbalanced, lost my orientation. So sudden, unexpected... HELP! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Well, you've come to the right place. Shortly someone with more experience should come along and give you some more concrete advice.

As for me, in answer to your question of 'what happened', I'd say you have some issues in your marriage that need looking at. The fact that you never got physical with this person is a very big plus, but warning flags are flying all over the place.
