Rooster_DAR Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 This may sound really wacked, but somehow I just seemed to get this really deep gut feeling that she had crossed the boundary before things fell apart. When you love someone so much, there is a feeling deep inside that I can't quite explain that tells you that something has gone terribly wrong. It's a strong sense of intuition, and it almost feels supernatural in a way. A feeling I will never forget, and hope to never feel again. Cheers! Reading this back it does sound wacked! LOL
GreenEyedLady Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 I have to agree with you...I just KNEW he was cheating on me....I just expected it to be with an OW, not an OM!!!!
alphamale Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 if you're a perceptive and smart person you can detect anything R_DAR....last nite I felt the N. Korean nuclear test, and I live in middle America.
johan Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 You, too? I thought I did, too. But then I realized it was just from the burrito I ate. But still. I think sometimes you can sense things. And intelligent, intuitive person can put things together. On the other hand, my ex was constantly telling me what her intuition was telling her about me. It wasn't fair. In the end, you should rely on the facts.

A burritoe in your belly and a 1 KiloTon nuclear device on the other side of the world will pack about the same punch to you, relatively speaking

justice Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Hey Rooster, this isn't wacked. I know that feeling well. And you know, it was right on target too. I should have listened to it when it was telling me "Hey something ain't right here." And you're right, it is intense. But I've learned to listen to it. *smiles* It was right.
2sunny Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 Yep, it was my gut feeling that prompted me to start checking a few things out more closely... It will rarely lead you down the wrong path, just a matter of if you are bright enough to figure out the clues left behind.... hmmmm makes mental note to self that I should have been a PI
luvstarved Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 You know, this is really strange but I have thought about my own situation and think that my intuition worked to help AVOID an affair. My H and I had sexless marriage for 7 of 10 years,then suddenly, for some reason, it became VITALLY IMPORTANT to me...I was unhappy and knew that someday I would explode, but the timing in retrospect gives me chills... The next week after I blew up, an attractive available woman started at my husband's work and tried to be very personal and touchy feely with him and I even posted on here worrying about the danger. I am not a fool and I will stay alert to things anyway, but all evidence since then has shown me that my H is doing everything he can to keep this marriage alive and that he is being faithful. Yes, I know this mostly because I HAVE continued to keep tabs on him as discreetly as I can... But if things had just continued without this blowup, it would have been a much bigger temptation to him than I think it is now that we are trying to actively work things out. Our progress is not as fast and smooth as I would like it to be, but it is there. So yeah, when I thought about it, it really did seem to me that something inside of me sensed the impending danger BEFORE it came along and moved to avert the crisis. We are mysterious creatures...

LOL I sat in my bathtub every night for almost a year trying to figure out who was messing with my head...I thought it was my Dad due to his horrible abusive behavior...One night as I was praying; I find it helpful to pray/meditate in the tub, I just said out loud; omg...is it ----, my H? The next day was D day...I thought it was somthing supernatural or something...It wasn' until recently; D day was over 2 years ago, that I realized that all of the signs were there, I just couldn't or wouldn't see them...So I think that on some level, as Ws we are all aware that something is going on, we just aren't confident enough to go with our gut feelings/instincts...Just my take on it...
Trimmer Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 So I think that on some level, as Ws we are all aware that something is going on, we just aren't confident enough to go with our gut feelings/instincts...Just my take on it... And not just wives, but spouses in general, speaking for myself as a husband.... But I do take exception to the idea that "deep down, you knew, you just wouldn't admit it" as if people have all the concrete information right in front of them, but they insist on fooling themselves. I know that's not what's being said in this thread, but I've read that in other threads. As if the deception of the WS becomes the fault of the BS for not recognizing the obvious. (Personalizing much, am I? ) The thing is, yes, you have that sense, that awareness that something is "different." But without any experience to go on, like you said OOD, you can't be confident enough to be sure whether it is something truly wrong, or just the evolutionary ebb and flow of a relationship over time. Is it kids, career, a move, finances, an affair? Yes we sense things, but a lot of times, they only become concrete and obvious in retrospect.
