    Alrighty... here I go again...

    After the last shindig I am still with the wife, being on amniable terms and since I couldn't talk to this friend I concentrated on keeping her from getting any sicker (I think stress is starting to wear on her... she had to goto the hospital and they gave her medication for her stomach but even the nurse and doctor were relieved when it just took some high powered acid reducer with special painkiller to cause the 6 hours of constant pressure pain to numb... it was either that or a nice trip to toronto to a cardiac unit, to find the problem... now that was scary.... but I shall leave that be for the time being.

    Anyways... after a brief interlude... I was talking to my friend... she had gone on a blind date on the weekend with her boss's nephew... that went fairly well I guess... so that makes me feel a bit put down and jelous... but she had me over for most of the day (from 10-2 for lunch and 4:30-7:00) for supper. Just to have company.

    Anyways this guy said she should get more ram (She had 64 he said she should have 128) so I popped in a 128 I had sitting around (I was going to do it someday anyways).. I changed her 6.4 GB WD drive to a 40 GB Fujitsu that has been collecting Dust on my shelf. And this weekend I am installing DSL and a CD Burner into her system (24x lite-on) Now all I have to get her system up to speed is change the 300 K6-2 to either a 450 or 500 or 550 K6-2.

    Well anyways.. Lunch and Supper were nice... but after I went home I went on MSN later on to see if anyone was on and she was so we got to talking, (For about 2 and a half hours) of course she was talking to other guy at the same time...

    To make a long story short I decided to find the answer to a nagging question.. so I told her I wanted to ask her a foolish question... she said.. well there are no such things as foolish questions.. I said.. yes there is... there no such thing as a dumb quesiton... The difference between the two is not knowing and needing to know (Dumb Question) and not knowing and not needing to know (Foolish Question) she started to get a little impatient and wanted to know what the question was and told me to ask.. so I did... (Here is the question as well as I can recall) and I know in the first or second page of this thread I was warned about asking a question like this but I did anyways...

    In a Perfect world.. if we had met under similar circumstances and had been through and done exactly as we had up and to this point... without my being wedded to another, would our feelings as they stand now, have led into a relationship beyond friendship... This is a question that does not reflect on the current situation and or decisions that I am facing in my personal life, but are a gnawing sore on my thoughts and in my knowing the answer I will have not gained anything other than some closure.

    You do not have to answer.

    She paused for a while... Possibly to reflect.. more than likely to talk to other guy while I was typing out such a long msg.

    Its her answer that is causing some pain though...

    I wish I could remember her exact words. But I think this is close enough... (The tone might be off... it was more consolitory than anything else.. and a bit defensive)

    But you are married. I don't want to say anything to change that.

    ARGHHHHHHHHH *Splat* (Ever had your emotions you thought you had sorted out break loose and slam your thought process into a brick wall)

    My life is ping ponging around worse that a mixture of Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives.

    At least I was truthful about it being an unimportant question.. I would not drop everything and run into the arms of another woman...

    Sometimes I wish I was Mel Gibson in that movie... "What women want" at least then I would be on a fair playing field... it seems everyone else knows what I am thinking...

    I was in a coffee shop the other day sitting with a friend and his girlfriend and her friend sat down and we were chatting and then I said well.. I have to go pick up Nikki... and the girls friend looked me straight in the eye and said... "You don't want to do that do you."

    Talk about freaking twilight zone... being a small town and all I am not suprised.. but she was from out of town and I hadn't seen these people in months.


    Now I wonder... if this is happening to plain old me... I wonder how many thousands of other are go through the same stuff...

    At least knowing that I am not the only poor SOB in this predicament makes me feel a little better

        Sorry I have no words of comfort to offer...

        But FWIW I owe you a debt of gratitude for helping me get some stuff straight in my own head.

          CBman,

          If she answered me that way, I woulda snapped. JUST ANSWER THE !@#$%^&* QUESTION WOMAN!!!! You don't hear guys dodging like that. We may be unclean unshaven drunken sex pigs, but at least we can give a straight answer to a question. And women wonder why we men seem to care more about cars and computers than them. My BMW never gave me headaches like that. Continuing good luck man.

            Damn... Let me tell you... it just gets more twisted... I had a conversation with the friend and let me tell you.. that was quite interesting... I will put down the contents and context of that later when I get some time.

                  Oh well... here's another pull onto the twisted thread of my life.

                  This is an e-mail that I just sent her....

                  Hey Tams

                  It was a fairly chilly walk today... I am glad that it wasn't as cold as it was last night... the roads were horrible and I almost didn't think that I would make it to pick up my mother to give her the van.

                  I went to Beaver Lumber this morning (Soon to be Home Building Center) and managed to do a 5 minute fix there... it was so simple I can't believe I didn't figure it out when I was there last night. So I went to Mr.Mugs to sit and have a coffee... read the paper... and think on things.

                  Following some of those thoughts I must say that I am sorry for being so crusty lately... my emotions are kinda raw and my thoughts are swinging from very happy to depressing.

                  I have one favor to ask of you, no beg of you.

                  Please... Break my Heart, and not gently.

                  Maybe I am being a bit irrational, quirky, or even ridiculous.

                  I can explain the why if you want ... but being at work I don't have as much time to think about what to say and to write it here in a manner that may clarify the reasoning behind it.

                  Please don't think that doing so would mean that I wouldn't still be a really close friend though... Like I said... the reasoning behind it is very abstract.

                  As always Tams I look forward to seeing or talking to you again soon

                  Charles


                  I will explain to you guys as well my reasoning.. but later after I get home from work.

                  I know I know... bad Idea... but hey... might as well... can't screw things up any further than they already are.

                    Yeah ya can, and you're just digging a hole now, cb. Any girl that I would want wouldn't go near a married man. I think you're trying to make sure you have something "better" instead of just breaking with the wife because things aren't working anymore.

                    This girl doesn't want to be a safety net, and I can't blame her. I think her earlier answer was the best thing you could have heard, and told you all you need to know. Hell, I heard her loud and clear all the way over here.

                    Like it or not, you're <B>married</B>. That's a serious tether. Until you actually leave your wife, you're a losing proposition for this friend of yours. If you're not certain enough that your marriage is over to formally end it, then you're still married.
                    This isn't dating any more, and that friend of yours can rightfully expect you to leave her for your wife as quickly as you came if she were to accept you.

                      Very Good Point, And one that I never considered

                      Although I do know that if I were to ever get unmarried... that my wife would never want me back.

                      Honestly with all that has happened I think the only thing that has kept her here has been my unwilfullness to be the one to say its over, Stupid me... I can lie through my teeth when I have too ,but I can't break a promise, even if it is based on a lie.

                      I guess that is why I told my friend to hit me below the belt and hurt me bad. I need something to kill the emotions for a while... at least enough to put some normalcy back into my life... Its just that I have spent way too many years lost on foolish and tortureous predicaments involving women. I would rather hurt and heal than drag hope to its limit until its a bloody mess.

                      But that is the way that life goes...

                      (Edited out some crap that didn't belong)

                      Sigh... Life's little idiosyncrasies always come back to nip you on the butt...

                      Oh well... I am gonig to be talking to her tonight... and I am going to set this part straight... whichever way I can...

                      Thank god for Alcohol

                        Oh man, CB.. you mention soap operas.. you should save this thread and sell it as a script!

                        Too bad you can't marry both of them and have done with that schism

                          you CAN screw it up farther! She(Tammy) seems to be the nice one, and your "dearly Beloved" seems to be on the other side of the coin. Personally, in your shoes, I would choose the nice girl 8 days out of 7. Seems like you and your current wife can(or will)not sort it out, so, like I said before, you have to get going. you will only be young once, and Viagra is for old men Take a chance. Live, don't just exist!

                          best of luck Charles, we're all behind ya

                            If anyone does sell this... please correct my spelling mistakes.

                            I really should... I really should end this... in all intents and purposes I should have told her to stay home for christmas.

                            Honestly you would think that if I had any nerve what so ever that I would have finished this and put this behind me... its only dragging me through the dirt.

                            I should feel bad though... I work Tuesday to Saturday and have Sunday and Mondays off. I never told her that Mondays are my day off as I frequently go into work to help out for some of the time and take the rest of the time for me.

                            The other day when I went over to my friends to hang out for lunch and supper... I was at work untill 11:00 with plans on going home for around 3:00 and then waiting for Nikki to head off for her meeting... then go over to the friends for supper.

                            Well low and behold but my boss called my house shortly after I left at 11:00 because of an important call for some emergency service for tuesday morning.

                            Well I'll be damned if when she asked Nikki where I was and Nikki said... "Isn't he there working... that's what he told me."

                            Well I got home and she was so angry and upset because I had neglected to tell her that mondays were an optional day for me (Being that I get paid overtime for any time spent there on my day off and being short for cash is an option I take when I can)

                            Instead she didn't even think I went to work and then took off all day doing god knows what with who...

                            Not wanting to push her over the edge I told her that sure I went to work... but I don't have to be there and that I get paid extra.

                            Wrong answer

                            I feel bad about not telling her that my friend and I spend so much time together... she thinks that the one or two hours I see her when Nikki is with me is too much. If she knew about all the other time I don't know what she would do.

                            I do know that something is going to get done soon.. I just have no idea of what.

                              after rereading the entire thread,

                              cb, you need to finish repairing or ending your marriage. Persueing your "friend" is a bad idea. Being in the same predicament as you (wife gone yet not divorced) I have chosen not to get involved with anyone until the divorce is final. This way noone gets dragged in the mud while the inevitable battle ensues.

                              So ends the lesson from "Dr. Love"
