It has always been my fault. It has always brought tremendous pleasure to me to meet new people and hear about their lives. Sometimes when the new person is a woman and things progress and become intimate the problems start. The intimacy to me is just an extension of the friendship. Basically the highest level a friendship can attain.
But that does not mean that I have lost the desire to be in a relationship with my spouse or significant other. That bond goes way beyound the friendship level. That bond goes into the soul. The problem is that the soulmate will not accept an intimate friendship on my part. Most women won't.
Because of jealousy, the great destroyer of relationships.
[Jealousy is a secondary
emotion and typically refers to the negative
thoughts and
feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as
anger,
sadness, and
disgust. It is not to be confused with
envy.]
