Pickle, everyone says my H is a fine, upstanding, family oriented man. Grew up in a very Catholic family, always was proud of being a family man, loved being with friends who were family men as well. Goes to church every Sunday.
And yet, same thing happened.
I see him trying to find every reason or justification in the world that what he is doing is not wrong.Then he turned around and just decided to take all the blame - a victim of circumstance. Once i even saw a scribble of his in a notebook "how can it be that something so wrong feels so right". I also have read somewhere that some people believe that if they are in love, it cannot be wrong, and they have to follow the dioctates of their heart.
They know it is wrong, but infatuation is a very strong emotion. Have you ever been in that state before? It is the "you and me against the world" feeling. Morality, spirituality, reason, logic .... all gone.
But we all know that infatuation fizzles out. There is no way it will stay that way forever. A person would crash and burn keeping up that feeling inside them.
Patience, Pickle. Opening the cage certainly is a good decision, i would say. Right now, let her fly, and take care of yourself and your family. She wll have to find herself and asnwer her questions.
