That is a tough situation, especially considering your husband still has strong feelings for you and you're ready to move on with another man. Also, the fact that you're still married.

You mention that he is always in the back of you mind, you're clearly really into him, and desire to have a relationship with him in the future, correct?

If you're truly in an abusive relationship I would get that divorce and I wouldn't feel guilty about it. If the issue is you simply don't love your husband and are not happy, well you still have to do what is best for you and go for the divorce, right? I mean, I'm sure you have thought about it long and hard, do you feel *stuck*?

Is the underlining issue that you're still married and you do not want to be?

Good luck!

And here... you're insinuating that I've no right to become attracted to someone else at this moment. To date someone else is another matter entirely, I agree. But merely to become attracted and use that energy as the catalyst for taking a step I've lacked the courage to take for so long - moving away from an unhealthy situation. :blank

I think you're drawing those conclusions, and maybe didn't like the way I worded it because it triggered your own doubts or possible guilt about the situation. I mean, part of your topic is looking for validation it seems. All I am saying is it seems like a tough situation.

I remember a previous topic and I thought you were divorced. You want the divorce, CLEARLY, I'd focus on that.

Good luck.
