I just have to get this off my chest but I can’t talk about it too anyone who knows me in real life.
About ten years I started a new job an instantly hit off with a co-worker. We had a ton of similar interests and she was super easy for my anti social self to talk too And holy shit the level of pure chemistry we had, I didn’t even know that was possible. Only problem was I was married and she was engaged.
Over the next couple years we managed to keep our hands off each other only because one of us anyways had to stay sober enough to drop the other off and we both knew drunk consent isn’t consent. We became the kinda friends that know things about each other no other person does. But things never went farther than the rare nude or a hand that would linger too long in passing.
Once I quit that job we both broke off all contact and I haven’t talked to her since. I’m married thirteen years now, last I checked she was married with kids. And yet I still can’t get her out of my mind. All of my best dreams are about her. I honestly think that if there was one thing I could fix about my life it would be to go back and make it work with her.
This is a really shitty feeling I haven’t been able to get over for ten years. Maybe getting it out there will help and this ain’t the kind of shit I could tell anyone in real life.
sorry to go “this is just like movie” but have you seen in the mood for love? very good movie about this exact feeling
I haven’t. Doesn’t really seem like my kind of movie but for something “considered to be one of the greatest films of all time” I’ll give it shot.
it’s one of those movies that’s more about the feelings it evokes than the plot. every time the two leads are walking past each other and the slowmo starts and the music kicks in i get goosebumps. just a gorgeous, incredibly evocative movie, the last scene blew my mind the first time i saw it
