“When I joined Lit, I was newly divorced and lonely, but I didn't want anything to do with "real" relationships. I just wanted to have fun and ease the loneliness.
I eventually got into a pretty intense online relationship. For me, it was fun and enjoyable, but I never regarded it as "real." When it started to be too much, and I realized the other person considered me their significant other, I put the brakes on.
It was horrible. The other person was extremely hurt, and I felt terrible.
It was so bad I stayed away entirely for a long time. I post again, and I have chatted quite a bit, but I am always scared that it will happen again. Plus, I am re-married, so there is always the tug of guilt.
I guess my confession is that I like visiting Lit, but I'm always uncomfortable. I worry about messing up my real-life relationship, and I worry about people here getting too close.“
