hey sam...
thanks for stopping by my thread
this is the first time i've read yours, can you lead me to any other threads of yours?

i'm thinking about your sitch
and you calling your acts "horrible"
and commiting them to documented files
in court?

(okay everybody, this is the part where charcoal shoots off her waw mouth and says the wrong thing...)

but, honestly...
honestly
i don't understand...


(okay, maybe before I make wicked assumptions, i'll just wait for more info..)

in the meantime, listen...
i cheated on my H when we were just going out
we didn't deal with it correctly then
it was a lot of H being mad
and a lot of me being sorry
and wishing he understood what powered it
i'm not saying he pushed me into doing that
but a little understanding on his part
would have gone a long long way
and H acknowledges that
i think
no, he does...

i thought i was "forgiven"
but i wasn't
and it fueled incredible resentments on both parts
we swept it under the table, attempting to change the channel on the TV before three words about infidelity were uttered...
and then, having heard three words about infidelity on the tv
H'd scowl at me
wounds all still fresh, years after the event...

gosh, we've been together twelve years
and i've felt understood for about the last two weeks

so...

that's good

and this time
i'm not feeling like i've been stripped naked and whipped and doused in acid for my sin

which is nice
you know?

i feel like a person

with rights


the right to save myself
and make my life what i want it to be

shoot to even have the right to want life a particular way...



take care, and thanks again
