Yes, I am feeling quite optimistic at this point and I don't want to spoil it but at the same time I will be cautious for a while yet. As a matter of fact, I don't know if I will ever let my guard down completely ever again. But, maybe that's a good thing. It will keep us both in check
Looking back and knowing what I know now, its hard to say whether I would have jumped so quickly into this R. But, regardless of what we have been through (and I am sure there is still lots to come) I very much love the man. He is truly a wonderful person and as much as I don't condone what he did, and never will, I don't imagine what he has had to go through all these years has been very pleasant either. I sometimes feel it was just meant to be. Maybe I was the only woman strong enough to be able to put up with all this crap, not "abandon" him (like he says about the others in his life) and help him to heal some very deep scars.
His opening up in little tidbits is encouraging and I think he might actually be learning what real love is all about
