Today I also feel different, read my new post in a few minutes.<P>ThisAlex<P>------------------<BR>If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.

Maya,<P>It isn't about faking it. It is about love, if you love someone, don't you wish his happiness (& I am not saying that it is OK to be w/ OW)?<P>It is about calming down and sincerely forgive him; it is about sending him your love. If there is love in you he'll feel it, if there is anger he'll feel it too.<P>Don't fake it, feel it.<P>ThisAlex<P>------------------<BR>If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.

My refrence to faking it was being angry and hurt. I can't show her that in fear of lovebusting.<P>I love my lovely wife more than any human being on earth .There is nothing fake in my feelings.<P>Bill<P>------------------<BR>BB<BR>

So you're not asking me to fake it if I don't love him and don't wanna be in the marriage, correct?<P>I've had many tell me to fake all that too, that "it will come back." Been faking it for a year now, I'm severly depressed and seeing a counselor. <P>So that's where faking got ME.
