And I have overwhelming feelings of guilt that I yearn for the attention that I would ordinarily receive from my husband. With two teenage sons, it's even more scary when my thoughts wander in this direction. <br />It helps to know that I'm not alone in feeling this way, but I wonder if these feelings aren't popping up too soon for me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744650341596714293.post-43986515777306133712012-04-07T12:11:21.564-04:002012-04-07T12:11:21.564-04:00Thank you for commenting with your honesty.

We worked in the construction industry so it made sense. There were a few that wanted to step into TJ's boots and I had to be very careful that I didn't let my grief and longing for that closeness ruin many friendships. It was hard to say no, as they were good friends and single, but I knew I wasn't ready to jump back into a relationship. Frankly, I am still not ready, although I do date. Many that I turned down have disappeared and that saddens me, but the true friends have stayed and we still hang out, they just know they are not welcome in TJ's boots and all is good.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09175077917096988524noreply@blogger.com
