Viewing it from afar, I think in your effort to make Jake feel comfortable with things you lead him to believe he was somewhat on par with Mr Reese in terms of your priorities. And so with two men believing they're deserving of more of your time and affection, one is going to have to be willing to accept a lesser role or walk away if unwilling. Life's choices are never easy.Butterfly411980 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 16, 2023 2:12 pm
I often read people make the argument that its ok to love more than one person as love is an infinite thing and in a vacuum that is correct. But life is not infinite, time is not infinite and thus a person must ultimately choose who they love the most and allocate their time accordingly. And yes, people could then say time could be divided equally amongst those they love, but then that assumes those that they love are willing to have the person they love equally shared. I don't see Mr Reese being the type who is willing to share his love equally. He seems willing to share only so far as it meets the needs of the game Mr and Mrs Reese have chosen to play together. So though love can be infinite in theory, in true practice, it's just not that simple. I think that is the problem Mrs Reese is running straight into. She seemingly has two men she has now professed to love and need. Ultimately the choices made in life always prove out who and what you love the most. That's what makes affairs of the heart so difficult and scary. You just simply cannot hide behind "I'll love everyone equally" because someone is eventually going to make you choose.
Butterfly thank you! I’ve known that the consequences will be difficult with lovin another man and I’m tying to make Jake happy as I’ve known that once hubby feels the effects of less time with me, things will be more difficult.
Hubby always wins.
I choose this decision but I don’t want to make that choice.
It’s not easy to turn off my love once it happens.
Jake is disappointed that I don’t have time
Hubby is annoyed at times and quiet acting like he doesn’t care as I know this is his way of coping with me and Jake.
It’s so frustrating.
Your words…
This makes the most sense to me.
