Feelings

I remembered something my husband came up with when I was really sad. I didn' reflect on it at the time, being too sad to do much other than cry, but it came back to me this morning.

He said that we can't just turn our feelings on and off. You can't just stop loving someone instantly or not be angry at someone. He told me that my feelings were valid and that its was ok to feel that way.

My husband is not a stupid man. I wonder if he has put two and two together about me and the other man. He trusts me implicitly, and I am not willing to abuse that trust. But I can't stop feeling what I do. What I do about my feelings is another matter. One which requires a lot more thought.
