> I guess my point really was, when it comes to the question of do you follow your heart or your mind to know if it's love, your emotional gut reaction of being drawn to someone might feel strong, but might be because they meet some uncounscious need, or keep you from facing things in yourself. And the other person might be doing the same thing. So that gut feeling, maybe it's right, maybe it's not. But I definitely think if our head and our heart are at odds, that person can't be right for us from the start.
> If your mind is telling you something incongruent with what your heart is telling you, I think that's a danger sign. It has to feel right all around, and you have to really know yourself well.Dear Jenny,
Well put!!Thanks for the feedback and I hope things
work out between you and your husband. If
not, new doors do open. It sounds like you
are a very loyal and courageous person. Hats
off to you!
Glenn
