Oh True, when I first read this, my first reaction was no................ !!! Please dont let his man with such a huge heart get hurt.
But, then I started to think about it. All of us have some threads of similarities in our situations, but, we are all unique. Different people, different circumstances.
Some of us will get apologies, some wont. Some never hear from their spouses, some hear from them all the time, some spew, some dont and then there are those that are just plain crazy like mine.
Point of all that is this. There are no one size fits all answers for what to do when we have conversations like the one you had.
The truth is that I think if you have any doubts, any questions, well, then you aint done.
And knowing the type of man you are, you need to have no regrets.
So, tread lightly, my friend. Do not forget what you've learned or how far you've come.
