You don't need to answer me necessarily, if you don't feel like it -- I'm just asking questions for you to think about.
It sounds to me like you have a lot of power to work this through in a way that will work very well for you. And I'm sorry for the pain you may be feeling -- it hurts when someone breaks such an important promise, I know. |
Well, Shalom's comment prompted me to reread all the comments as well as the above by Angela. I realized something I didn't before. I have had long-held beliefs about men, esp. men in my generation, being unable to be truly monogamous. And, it's all been a result of things I've witnessed second-hand. And, it does spur a certain level of fear in me. Since what we focus on expands. I must have been holding onto a significant amount of fear that this would happen to me one day.
