Do I pursue an old love or stay with my husband?
Ok, here’s the back story. It’s kind of long so bear with me. I had my first little “boyfriend” back when I was 13 and we dated for 6 months, going to the movies, little notes in the locker, dances and such. I cared for him like a close friend because I still didn’t understand my body and attraction. Well, I ended up breaking up with him, just for the fact that I was going into highschool and didn’t want a junior high boyfriend (he was a year younger). Stupid, yes, but I was 13. A year later my family moved away, but we managed to keep in touch and talk ever so often. A few years later our conversations became few and far between. It was my fault, I became too busy with my social life. We actually went to the same prom, but with different people at a unrelated school. A year went by and we hadn’t talked at all. Then one day I walked into fast food resterant and there he was serving my lunch. He sat down and we talked a good while, and he ended up confessing to me that he had been in love with me for years, but during the time we hadn’t communicated he had gotten engaged to someone else. I realized too that I had deep love for him, but not wanting to interfer with his engagement, I wished him well and gave him a hug. I grieved nightly thinking about my loss and always comparing my failed relationships with him. Fast forward nine years, my daughter was starting Kindergarten and, surprised as I was, he showed up in the same class with his son. We talked excitedly for what seemed like hours. He confessed that he had been married for a while with two children and I myself is married with three. We see each other everyday when we pick up our children and have an engaging conversation. I miss him terribly. I haven’t told him my feelings so I can avoid awkwardness and knowing that if we became involved it would affect both of our children. But, I know he feels the same way because of his actions. Following me around and the close hugs. I care for my husband, but he is an alcoholic and can be a jerk at times. So do you think I should tell him my feelings or keep it to myself? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
You have 3 kids. At this point YOU CANNOT JUST LEAVE because of a shoulda, woulda, coulda relationship. Get marriage counselling for you and your husband, or at least yourself. Call up and join Ala-non, an organization for friends and family of alcoholics. Their phone number can be gotten from Alcoholics Anonymous. There are almost 20 chapters in the Ft. Worth area. Here is one number to get you started …(817) 451-5560
And know that the single most likely thing for getting your husband to seek help for his disease of alcoholism is YOU joining Ala-non. Foe the sake of your kids, stop the pining after the old boyfriend and fight for your marriage.
IF you find after trying meetings and counselling, there is no hope at all, separate and get divorced before starting up with your old flame. You may just fall in love again with your husband.
Good Luck!!
So instead of getting your alcoholic husband canceling and trying to work things out for the best with him so your kids can have a non split up family you’d rather have him divorce his wife when they might be fine when you’re not in the picture and date you again and see how that goes?
you guys need to forget about the past relationship y’all can be friends but you both have been married and have kids and it doesn’t look like you even care to try to get your husband help..
hey before you fire off at me maybe you try but he doesn’t want any help and his a stubborn a**hole and you really don’t feel like y’all should stay married and maybe you’re unhappy. But you should figure out how him and his wife are doing before you let him know your feelings.
I’m sorry, I should have clarified. My husband and I have only been married for a year…we have no children together but from previous relationships where we both have sole custody…he refuses to stop drinking because he says he likes to drink even after he almost had our children taken away because he was drinking and driving with them in the car. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am worried about leaving his two children with him and never seeing them again, then I would have left him a long time ago. By the way the children don’t ride in the car with him anymore.
