I feel myself walking a tight rope these days. My friendship with my co-worker is blossoming. We share things that we've never shared with our partners. We share our frustrations, our aggravations, as well as our turn on's, and secret desires.
It's messed up. I mean. She's a great woman, but has little confidence in that. She tells me anyone would be lucky to have me...and yet I have little confidence in that. We know how each other's brain works; where we come from; all the hidden subtleties that bubble under the surface that you normally would hide from a significant other for fear of judgement. We give each other advice on how to better each other's relationship, but see in each other what is missing in our own life.
I sense the possibility of disaster though. I think she senses it too. There's an obvious attraction, both physical and mental.
I made the 'mistake' of showing her some of my writing, and now she's pushing for me to write more and more. It's odd to know someone personally that has read what I write, and comments on it positively. It's not the first time that I've received encouragement, but it's a little different when it's random people from some forum on the internet, vs the long legged cutie at the front of the office.
*sigh*
My best chance is to channel the sexual frustration and flirtation I have with her back into my relationship. After talking to her I've realized that secretly I gave up. I gave up on getting my wife to open up, to change, to evolve. She's been stuck in her naive closeted ways for so long she thinks it's normal. It's not. It's a waste of a life. We have everything else...I just want....more. After talking to my co-worker (nearly crying too...how embarassing lol) she's pushing me to push for more...chip away at this wall the wife has erected.
I guess my biggest fear...is what may happen if I get shut down at home. Frustration, resentment and the availability of a possibly willing alternative...is a perfect storm that I can see being difficult to resist.
...please don't hate me for writing this...it's honest...it's how I really feel...and I'm honest to goodness scared.
