If you had produced children with the one that got away instead, would they not have been your world too? Maybe the next time around, if there is a next time.

My heart aches reading this. Same. You captured it beautifully. I miss her every day and I always wonder what may have been. That chemistry, that flame of attraction was and is always there, albeit in memories and daydreams.

I got away after being rejected, and treated as if I didn't matter, only to foolishly give it all back, and then be tossed away yet again, because I really didn't matter. Now all it's become is an ungodly soul tie, causing me nothing but a life full of regret for not guarding my heart as well as I should have. I wish I could say one day that they were worth it, and that they really did love me as I had loved them, but I know that day has very little to absolutely no chance of ever happening. They're incapable of it, and the universe is dead set against it. It's just the way it is, and I can't do shit about it.

Oh, so romantic! I'm sure he wouldn't change a thing either.

Be happy with your " husband".
My best wishes for you both!
Leave me the hell alone.
I love someone else.
Not you. Not my Ex either!
Things Changed long ago my" Friend".
Be Happy.

I'm an all or nothing kind of guy. I have no interest in a part of this, and a piece of that. If I can't have it all, and everything else that goes with it, I don't want, or need any of it.

I'm too unlovable, and you're too unloving.

With a cheap hotel. And don't confuse spirit with vulgar chemicals. What you glimpsed was a glimmer of God. Your family is fair; Glory would have cost much much more

...could have that kind of chemistry with your husband if you weren't holding on to someone else.
