So many of us have married under those same circumstances or similar ones and find ourselves in 'that' place. <br /><br />Here we are, 30 years into a marriage that is evidently wrong for both of us; comfortable, but wrong. I know it. He knows it. 'Not sure I have the sort of courage to start over that you did. If not, how tragic and sad. *sniff*la pianistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633983315757411944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-76941658064528830642009-08-11T02:15:55.307+02:002009-08-11T02:15:55.307+02:00Obviously you wrote this forever and ever ago but ...Obviously you wrote this forever and ever ago but I only just found it now. I like those "if you liked this, you might like this" functions. Clever.<br /><br />Anyway. Just wanted to say that this really resonated with me. Its a lovely love story, but I am not actually talking about that - I often wonder if I am "living the right life" - I have made a lot of sacrifices for my career, and it feels very right to me most of the time. I know that doesnt sound convincing. But the fact is my job is so much more than a career to me; I have always wanted this life - i think of it as my life, not my career, and I love what I do. But sometimes I wonder. It is complex. Anyhow, I don't mean to unload the entire story of my life, just to give you some feedback to say that this was a very moving post for me.kristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160318514452931759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-91493455765022129392009-07-23T20:06:18.024+02:002009-07-23T20:06:18.024+02:00It was pure serendipity that I stumbled across you...It was pure serendipity that I stumbled across your blog, particularly this entry. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful love story! <br /><br />I am in the throes of confusion at this point because I met the other "right" man. Unfortunately, I haven't had enough moments of clarity to make a final decision yet. But coming across your entry here makes me wonder, "Is this a sign?" For the first time in my life, I am just focusing on today (no more planning) and seeing what the universe brings...sfbefrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152258566818113443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-16700168461037667932009-05-11T13:23:00.000+02:002009-05-11T13:23:00.000+02:00Like B, change a few minor details and that's my s...Like B, change a few minor details and that's my story.

The clarity you obtain when meeting that other 'right' man is just violent, I think! Not to mention the consequences of being honest to yourself :) But it is such much healthier too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharingAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033751754921646392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-91080186636469787132009-02-12T08:56:00.000+01:002009-02-12T08:56:00.000+01:00Congratulations Julie!Lovely story, good life less...Congratulations Julie!<BR/>Lovely story, good life lesson.<BR/>I also loved this anniversary story recently, and I'm sure you will too:<BR/>http://petuniafacedgirl.blogspot.com/2009/02/once-upon-february-4th-mid-week-fairy.htmlMollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678300547613778858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-73498068835853696912009-02-12T08:27:00.000+01:002009-02-12T08:27:00.000+01:00Congratulations on your anniversary!
