One of the most memorable arguments Gilbert makes in his book is that once we have experienced something, such as the kind of elusive intimacy you describe, it forever alters our perspective on happiness. You can never un-experience it and although your life before that experience may have provided much happiness for you in the past, that shift in perspective will make it difficult for you to find the same level of happiness without that kind of intimacy. There is no going back. I also believe that it is better to have experienced that magical connection and intimacy with someone you love.... but I am dreading the day where I have to go back to my life without it for I know that nothing will ever be the same.

The end, the goodbye. When it seems that I've just found him. The pragmatic romantic in me wants to hope we can be one of those rare, long-term mutual admiration society in parallel to our every day real lives as it is today. Is it possible? I'd like to believe it is. Just as you wrote about your feelings for JJ, he will always be in my heart. Thank you for sharing, as always. ~McKPRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524305586058177527.post-82518653999289877262014-08-13T19:16:25.279-07:002014-08-13T19:16:25.279-07:00A beautifully and very cogently written piece.

I'm struggling to let go of my affair partner, because I know it's the 'right' thing to do, but that connection with him feels like something I won't ever get in my marriage. I never had it with my husband to start. It's sad, so sad, to think that I might never have that intensity again in my life. It makes me want to cheat again... I guess that's why they say once a cheater, always a cheater?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
