[HIVEMIND]A good therapy against loneliness

[Ashwyn]

I will never say a word to the woman I have come to have feelings for. She may very well share those feelings, but I will never know. She is married, and to someone pretty close to me. So that is a definite no.

*sigh*

It does not bother me in the sense that I can never explore those feelings. What does cause me some despair is that it seems I can not make a realistic connection any more.

I don't know what to tell you, Skade. I don't know how to fix things like that. If the woman I love ended up marrying someone else, I wouldn't be able to stop feeling the way I do about her. My feelings have grown too much. I'm sorry this has happened to you.

Horacio & Ash, I hope everything works out for you. I know from experience that "Internet romances" are a risky endeavour, but the payoff can be well worth the risk. After one failed relationship, I met my current wife online. So, it can work, if you both want it to.

I've had only internet relationships. I have never dated anyone I haven't met online. I know that is strange.

 

[Skade]

Thanks, guys.

This is all my fault though. When I met her she was married. I have known him my whole life, and she and I became friends. I am wrong to even feel anything like this at all. I can keep my felings in check, but I feel I have committed a horrible sin.

I really do appreciate the kindness and the hugs though.

The dreams are the hard part...

ahem...no bad thoughts, please.

Thanks, Dungannon!.

It's risky, it's difficult, specially when there is a full Ocean between us, but I'm sure the payoff will be worth the risk, I firmly believe it.

It's that kind of belief that can make all the difference sometimes.

You are not wrong to feel this way, don't think that. Actions are what matter here, feeling are not chosen by us.

About that, you haven't committed ANY sin.

Loving is never a sin. Feeling love is the only true good thing that most humans can do. Feeling love is never a sin, Skade. If there is a God out there (and I think there is), it is a God of love and forgiving, He (She?) won't blame you for having such a selfless feeling. Feeling love is NEVER wrong, my friend.

It should be noted that I now hate that ocean too.

 

[Skade]

Ah absolution.

See, the wonders of the Hivemind. And they say we only contribute to the drivel on the 'net. phooey.

Hong Kong Fooey, even...

Seriously. I know you are both right. I'm glad I feel what I do. I'm also glad that I have learned it is sometimes best to keep ones silence.

We should make a association...
