It made me feel like less of a sucker to find out that Audi's H insisted on the same equivalence that my H did.
Hi Apple--you so totally just made my day, because I really felt like a sucker about this too. It is one of those things that I just had to let go, because I couldn't wrap my head around the idea that he could possibly be as hurt as I was. I got that it hurt him, and apologized, but it was something he held against me for a long time. Or used as an excuse at the very least.
The nice thing about the passage of time is that it is healing this for me--I can step back and look at it now and realize that what matters is that the sitch is in the past and we're on a new road now. Bravo to you for addressing it with him and letting it just be what it is.
