It has affected my depression and moods so much and now I have to let go of a dream that I had.  Unfortunately he is married.   Anyone have any suggestions?  Why did I get involved in the first place?   This is not something that is healthy and I realize that it is a sin to love someone that is not yours.   I do have to say that I believed 4 years ago when he said he was leaving his wife but not because of me he was already taking those steps so &#8230;. I let myself get involved.&nbsp;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Now, I have to work for him and with him and shove away all the emotions and feelings.    Hard to deal with because there is a part of me that is so angry with myself and him.  <\/p>\n<p>My doctor just switched me to Pristiq so I am hoping that this might help deal better when I am at the office.
