I Have A Very Strange Question About Love.
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

When I became homeless in 2/2016 my ex-husband let me move into his guest room. My morher had already been living there for 8 years. (We were teenagers when we got together and he is closer to my family than his) He has always been considered family to everyone. When we split in 2006 (after 18 yrs of marriage) we even wrote our own divorce papers. He is a careing and generous man. He was my main support when my mom passed in November. Since then we spend more time together watching Supernatural… read more

It's possible you love him for all his great qualities, but he just doesn't evoke that great passion in you. That passion we're told as little girls makes for great loves of our lives, like in all the fairy tales. If we are very lucky we find a man who brings out this passion in us, if we are merely lucky we can learn to love a man passionately, then there is what you have never ending love, love that is kind, patient, generous, all that stuff. It can turn into a passionate love but you have to want it to be that way, or be satisfied with the way it is. If you are still wanting that great love in your life don't give up. He is out there. I know it's scary to leave Mr Comfortable/Safe...but if your heart isn't in it.. is it fair to him?
Sorry I rambled a bit there...

peace, peace of mind. Something I pray everyday. I envy you still be friends with your ex. Not many can say that

Thank you guys for some perspective. Right now my ex and I are living like roomates but I know he still loves me. Reading your feedback made me look inside myself and do some soul searching.
I love staying here with him. I love spending time with him. I have to consider the fact that I’m may just be burying something I don’t want to aknowledge because I am afraid.
I was the one who left the marriage and hurt him badly. I feel like I don’t have the right to ask him to risk being hurt again.
But when I truely ask myself what I want I know I don’t want to leave. There’s just a feeling of belonging here. I’m actually at peace here.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member I would definately like you on my team. You understand how being empathic can mess with you sometimes.

Thank you so much. It’s true that I am a very artistic person. I also pick up other people’s emotions if I don’ t conciously shield myself through meditation. It makes it hard sometimes to separate my emotions from other’s. I think I really have to do some soul searching to figure out what I want.
