Hi Everyone;
I hope someone will listen to my problem ad tell m if it is just me or if I am justified in my feelings. Please feel free to comment, good or bad, it's important to examine the situation from all sides. Thanks.
Background;
I met master just over 1 year ago. We met on-line and from there an amazing energy was established between us and we fell into being a couple pretty quick. I love my master; truly truly love everything about her. She is smart, kind, compassionate, expressive and she has NEVER not been there when I needed her. It's scary to think how in love I am with her, sometimes I am , literally, short of breath when I think of life without her. I have been what I thought was in love before, but it all pales in comparison to what I feel for master. She truly completes me, my missing piece of myself.
And She also fell in love with me. A deep as I fell, she is right beside me, it's like we exist only for each other. I am her knight, she is my queen. We are old souls. Together we are Oak.
The problem arises from our situation. I knew master was married and Poly when I first met her. (I am long Separated) And I did hesitate at first because I didn't know how I would "fit" into the whole dynamic. Master does not involve her spouse in any way with me, it is only she and I. But when I finally did write her that first time, I truly thought to myself, what the heck, a little fun, a little company, remember she's married, remember she won't be yours, but maybe we would be right for each other. I had no IDEA how right for each other would would end up being.
And now, 1 year later, we face hard choices. Master wants to leave her husband to be with me. I want her to leave her husband to be with me. My hearts simply wants what it wants, no heart is to be blamed for what it wants. And just in case you were wondering, I never pressured master, I never gave her ultimatums, she brought up the subject first. Yea, I often said that I wish she were mine. I often begged her for one more hour late on Sunday night. She knows how I feel because she felt it to. But I never told or hinted that she should leave her husband. But once she breached the subject I NEVER discouraged her.
Now the problem. My Marriage of 20 years ended because of infidelity of my spouse. It destroyed me. Almost destroyed everything before I could recover and turn it all around after the separation. I simply don't know if I can be the other man and turn around and do it to someone else. I know how much it hurt, I know how close to the edge it took me. How, knowing all this, can I do it to someone else? The guilt is killing me...truly. Sometimes I can't even look at master because I simply can't tell her after all the times I begged her to stay just that little bit longer, now she can't be with me because of my guilty conscience.
I need to get over this but I am simply trapped. I can't look forward to a future with master because that sword of guilt will always be dangling over my head. Regret over how in order to get what my heart wanted more than anything else it ever wanted in my life, I had to stab another in the back. Someone who's only crime was trusting me...
I can't, I simply can't. I just can't. But I have to, or I will never have my happily ever after. I am so messed up right now, I need to make a decision but right now, I am dooming myself to loneliness if I do. I feel like I am on the edge of suicide. I love my master and need her so much, I can't loose her, but I would if I have to... I would if it changed me from someone I could live with to someone who would never be able to look himself in the mirror again...
Please help me, what should I do, what on God's earth CAN I do?
