OFv3 - Only I will Remain...Reloaded

[NOMAD]

Day 139 (cont'd)

Tonight, I hugged a young lady I know. During the act, it took a significant amount of effort to not grab a handful of her perfect ass. Why? Because I'm extremely attracted to her. Why not? Well, one because I'm married. Two, because there was nothing sexual about the hug. The key here is that OFv3 has managed to overcome enough fear in me that I was ready to "pull the trigger" although the situation might not warrant it. It's clear that I'm going to have to calibrate as time goes on.

This is a testament to the power of OFv3 once it gains ground.

Interesting that you could distinguish extreme attraction and sexual vibes.. the action in that situation would be shooting yourself in the foot.. good you were mentally clear enough to see it...

Btw. Sounds like you gotta avoid this girl or explore it and get over with it or recommit to your wifey..

Avoiding her isn't practical. Fortunately, that particular experience has wisened me up a bit. I won't let it sneak up on me again. I'm committed to my wife and don't intend to do anything stupid.

I think that the key take away is this - in the not too distant past, fear (of divorce) would've prevented me from engaging in inappropriate behavior. That fear is gone. In this instance it was the love and the respect I have for my wife (not fear of divorce) that kept me in line. The action was the same but the motivation was different.
