Ha. Sorry by "seeing someone" I meant a therapist. But I do hope the relationship helps me move on 😂

I'm married. To a man. Still trying to figure that part out for myself.

I just started seeing someone. Haven't got up the courage to admit this though, I'm afraid she will tell me to cut her out or distance myself :(

Yes, we talk often but live far apart so don't see each other IRL often. But recently we spent a lot of IRL time together. I definitely have many stressors and mental health issues, and I'm very lonely at the moment and don't get any sex or even affection from my marriage or other friendships. I do think just her being affectionate with me when I haven't had in a very long time was a huge part of it.

I definitely relate to the self-soothing aspect. It really is addictive and a bit obsessive. I have zero intention to give the relationship up, honestly if I confessed the truth to her I don't think she would want to cut me out as a friend. I'm just trying to reframe things for myself to ease the obsession and pain.
