That was a powerful story for me being a very recent former WS and OW. It touches on many of the feelings that I suffer through now. I am in love with my OM and he is in love with me. We both agreed that we love our spouses and have had a long history with them. However, we are in love with eachother. It is hard for many of you to accept and acknowledge I'm sure. It is much easier to believe that us WS's are just in lust. But Freedom said it best, the love is real and so is the pain. He is completely right. He also gave me a side to really think about as I try to get over my OM. The baggage we both bring to our relationship. My OM/MM always said that we can't live with eachother and can't live without and the baggage and quilt that we'd feel leaving people that we love and let down children who need us and who we need to be proud of us as parents would destroy our relationship in the long run. I'm glad that I didn't have have to live through self destruction as Freedom had. I got out and now I'm trying to find my way back to being happy and "in love' with my H. I deperately want to transfer my feelings to him from OM. Its not lust that keeps us love sick.
