   A really useful diagram which explains why relationships change and it seems sometimes that love has 'flown out the window'. The message seems to be to hang in there as it is normal to go through these stages.

   Excellent diagram.  We are having the power struggle at the moment.  There is a long way to go, but there is hope.

   I'm at the power struggle/reconciliation/finding one self stage at the moment but this has given me hope that if we both stick to it we'll get to the final stage.

    I  have a particulary big problem in my relationship with my hb. We have been married for 20 years and have been through a LOT of ups and downs generally as a result of a LOT of stress life has thrown at us, although our relationship has survived, there is virtually nil attraction on both our sides, mostly we are together for the children and as good friends. 

    Anyway, my problem that I need help & advice on How the h... do I fall out of love with someone I really shouldnt and dont want to be in love with.  This is a dangerous love which I know will not go any further but being in love with this person is causing me a lot of restless distress as I cant stop thinking about him.  I first met him on a works night our last xmas, and for me it was more or less love at first sight.  It sounds crazy really.  We only spoke for a few minutes but during that time, we more or less finished each others sentences.  It felt so unreal. The attraction on my side was overwhelming and through me comepletely.  I didnt know it was possible to feel this way about someone.  It spoiled my xmas as I couldnt get him out of my mind.  On that same night out when several of us were walking along a street, he turned & stared at my face for a good 30 seconds without breaking his stare.  It felt uncomfortable but wonderful.

    The dilema is this. I am married with 3 lovely children, he is married to a lovely lady who has just been diagnosed with cancer and is going through a v difficult time.  I have met them both again a couple of times and each time a look at him or am around him it is so so difficult because of my strong feelings for him.  I really need to find a way to move on from this...for everyones sake.   Can anyone give me any advice?
