Incidentally, I'd be interested in chatting with you about your experience, since it's so ostensibly similar to mine--if you want to :)
I am going back to therapy, which will help a lot, I think. Basically, I'm with someone I love so, so much. But I'm not attracted to him "that" way--and we have so very little in common. And I'm racked with guilt 'cause he's so good, tender-hearted, etc. Then I feel worse 'cause I feel like I ought to just be able to love him--that I can't makes me feel even more F'd up and guilty and stuff. And the longer I stay, the worse it all gets, I think. Argh.
