One of the reasons the thing with D is so hard to get over is because it never really got started, and yet it seemed so full of potential. I'm left with regret. I had admired him from afar for years, he seemed like the perfect guy; sporty, studious, serious, gentle, kind, funny, sexy and..... oh yes, that's it....married.
And then, all of a sudden, he wasn't. I knew he was keen and I knew it was too soon; but guys like that don't hang around for very long, especially not in Hong Kong. I was smitten, but held back because I wanted to be sure he was really interested. He come back, said he was drawn to me "like a magnet". We got closer and it was really lovely. When we kissed he said he felt he had "come home".
Then he started to back off. Of course I sensed it immediately but had no idea why. One day I was wonderful, beautiful and special and then I wasn't.
After a few weeks of limbo he mustered up the courage to tell me what had changed.
He called it "the other relationship". He didn't use the word "affair", but that's what it is when it has been going on in secret with your wife's best friend. I'm pretty sure "affair" is one of the words her husband and daughter will use when they find out.
And what was my role in this?
