Wendy, have you? Please let me know. And the answer is that my experience and instincts tell me that many, perhaps even most people do not. Feel free to tell me more about your life but only if you wish.
I thought it was love at 22 but as the marriage stretched to 11 years and three children, I discovered I had married a narcissist. I didn’t even know the definition at the time. After lots of therapy I learned my father was a narcissist and probably a psychopath. His withholding love and lack of empathy felt so familiar to my childhood, I thought it was normal. I have failed at all my recent attempts and the reasons have become the subject of my Substack. The rest is developing in my memoir which has been very helpful to put on paper.
writing a memoir is enormouly helpful. I've been struggling with myself to write a memoir but something stops me. If you intend to publish your memoir I would love to read it.
I'm glad to see you back. Well, at least you are close friends. That's a good thing. I doubt she is no longer "in love" with you but that is just a guess. I want to assure you that your writing is great and a pleasure to read.
What happens to the ones that never experience romantic love, true romantic love?
