I sure have!! 
In fact I almost married her, knowing all along I was making a HUGE mistake. But the attraction/chemistry/passion almost overcame all logic and common sense!! 
What a disaster that would have been! Work/career intervened to both our dismay at the time, but ultimately I am thrilled that it did so.
How about you? Sound familiar?

Sounds about like my situation..
Admittedly I was head over heels about her for quite some time. But had life proceeded in the direction it was going, it would have been Hell.. Albeit Hell with a lot of passion, but nonetheless Hell!!
So how did you decide what to do about it? And what was the key to recognizing it was all wrong from the get-go?

Operative word being 'almost', but yes. He was my soulmate and we had some good years together, but as I've mentioned before, it was an unlikely pairing and one that couldn't possibly have survived. Better the way it was, ended cleanly when it was time, with logic and common sense prevailing.
In my case, the show stopper was the fact that he was much younger than I, never married and had no children. I was divorced with two sons, one of whom had a collection of birth defects that the doctors said their best guess was had a 25% chance of recurring, based on the fact that I'd had a brother who died at 3 days from another variety of birth defects. No way could I knowingly risk that, and I knew him well enough to know that he needed to have children of his own, so I cut it off. Pretty brutally, but that was the only way to do it, and I knew there was someone around who'd grab him in a heartbeat, and would be a really good match for him. Nobody ever said I didn't understand my men! They're married 25 years with four kids.

Absolutely! But it was fun while it lasted. I believe Dr. Suess said it best:
"Don't be sad it's over, be smile because it happened!"

Triple dittos! I knew I was wrong, wrong, wrong--staying with a jerk made the years seem so long -- now I'm crying in my beer and singing this song 'cos I know the past is coming up strong--leavin' on a plane, going going gone...twang twang
OK ..... so much for bad poetry --- but its the stuff of Country & Western music and if you didn't have these wrong attachments, you wouldn't have all of these cryin' in your beer songs.  Wipe the dust off your feet and move on

I was attached to my ex. She would treat me so bad in hopes to get me to leave but I kept hanging in there cause I was thinking with my heart instead of my brain. Finally I got my head out of my Ass and wised up. Now shes someone elses problem

Oh gosh, story of my life too!
I've thought about this though, and I'm wondering if all those country songs and chick flicks don't make us think THIS is what true love is supposed to be like. We hold on because we think there will be that "happily ever after" ending and it takes a long time to admit that we are holding on to the wrong thing!

How many of us stay in bad relationships out of a misguided sense of love? Are we still in love with this person that treats us like dirt or we just in love with the memory of what the love was. I have found out the hard way that the person wasnt worth my tears and pain.
