Ok, so I never expected this to happen. I thought I was happily married, with a loving husband and, materially, everything I could ever want, but you’ve turned that upside-down and I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know what you feel (if anything) about me.
I first saw you 5 or 6 years ago – you were working, I was on a night out. You looked very different then and were probably still struggling with some of your demons, but to me, there was something about you, something that draw me to you, but our paths didn’t cross again.
That is, until a couple of years ago when we ‘met’ online – the intervening years saw me get married and you split up from a long-term relationship.
We occasionally had public conversations – nothing private, nothing underhand – I enjoy talking to you and, although I never spelled it out, I never explicitly said I was married. I’ve seen you transform yourself and I’m thrilled that your career seems to be back on track – you’re a master at what you do!
And then, at the weekend we met. I behaved like a drunken 15 year old and goodness only knows what you must have thought of me – for that I need to apologise. But now, having met, face to face, I find myself falling for you – in a big way. You’re handsome, funny, kind and charming – what woman wouldn’t fall for that?!
I know I need to contact you, to try to at least salvage some friendship after the way I behaved, but my feelings for you scare me – I don’t ever remember feeling like this about anyone, not even my husband!
I just don’t know what to do…
