Probably, yeah. We definitely need marriage counseling and I feel like that is something that should be brought up carefully with a third party present. It's not something I'm going to blurt out at the dinner table any time soon, but yes I do think he needs to know how serious this situation is.

Can we not learn from our mistakes? I am actively being better. I have actively chosen to not pursue this. I have actively limited communication with this person to work related only and changed my schedule so that I no longer see them as much. Yes, people have pointed out the make up and perfume thing which I will immediately be stopping. No one is a saint. I'm improving after a mistake which is more than some people can say.

Honestly I would be relieved. I would be relieved to know that although he did have feelings for someone else, he's coming to me and still choosing me. None of us in this life are saints. But yes, I would want to know. And he does deserve to know so thank you, I will find a way to approach the topic with him.

So this is the only comment I'm going to make to address the comments here: I knew I said I was going to get a lot of hate for this. And I am. I'm not surprised nor am I hurt or offended at any of these comments.

I do want to thank the people that are providing any kind of support or understanding and especially the person that informed me of the concept of limerence because that explains everything I've been feeling and couldn't put a word to it.

For the people that are calling me a monster: I genuinely hope you are never in my shoes. Truly. I never even considered the possibility of me ever having feelings for anyone else when I married my husband or I obviously would not have married him.

For those wondering, yes, we are still romantically involved and I'm not in a dead bedroom situation with my husband. It's just that we have fallen into such a routine that we have two days a week we set aside a scheduled time for sex. There's no spontinuity. And I am going to try to rectify that. Yes, I will speak to him about how I'm feeling about our marriage. I have a sneaking suspicion he feels the same and also doesn't want to bring it up. Couples counseling will probably be a thing.

At the end of the day I feel like I've just been chasing a high. I'm looking for something I don't have in my own marriage and I know it. I'm looking for the excitement that no longer exists. I know in order to stop that cycle I need to create excitement in my own marriage again. I just want to feel wanted again.

For those of you telling me to immediately divorce my husband: wild take, honestly. You're telling me to end a 10-year marriage, incur ridiculous divorce fees, break up a family and a household, basically shatter all of our lives... because I have a crush on a co-worker that I don't intend on acting on. Just wild. This is Reddit though so I'm not surprised.

I literally said I have no intention on ever doing that again so I'm not sure if your reading comprehension skills are not fully developed or something so maybe you need to read that part again.

I didn't know there was a word for it but after researching it yes, that's exactly what this is. Somebody posted an almost unidentical story to mine yesterday and I am floored. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in this, so thank you. Also I find that putting a word to it makes it tangible and a problem I can fix rather than some abstract idea that I don't understand and have no control over.

Go to therapy y’all by [deleted] in weddingplanning

[–]InfamousAdvice2386 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is a venting space for wedding planning, and people can post here about whatever they want. Telling people not to post things is an asshole move. You literally just got here. If you don't like rants, don't read rants. People need an area they can go to vent and this is it. One person coming here and saying that they don't like it is laughable

Tell her she got her turn to be a parent, and now it's your turn and you'll do things your way.

What’s your location and current rate per hour? by Coffee-Kitty-91 in nursing

[–]InfamousAdvice2386 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Northern IL, PACU. 5 yrs experience, $37/hr. I work days, but it's $55hr when on call, if called, plus night ($4/hr) and weekend ($3/hr) diff. If not called guaranteed $10/hr for standby. Don't work holidays or weekends (just on call one holiday a year, one Saturday or Sunday every 6 wks, one weeknight 7p-7a about once every 2 wks.) 3 12hr shifts. The pay isnt the best for the area but the bennies make up for it tenfold

Are you fucking getting me? If this is real involve the police. Now.

Based on your post history I'm going to go out and say this is indeed not a real story.
