I posted this over on hrm's thread regarding the A:
Quote:
Things I said to myself:
"It isn't REAL love"
"It's just a symptom of how lost she is"
"It's just SHALLOW, teenager brain infatuation, not deep, mature love"
"This too will pass, OM will show his true self and it will end" (and they did, btw)
Stay steady, be the last one standing, true to yourself...whichever way things go...you will know you did all you could, which will be very valuable at the end of the day for inner peace, regardless of any outcomes.
I know the A, the lying, etc. is devastating and infuriating, I do...but here is maybe your challenge, opportunity for growth...it is NOT right, but it IS...
I wish we could change it, erase it, but we can't. Be the best you, grow you, for you...leave the rest to God, he knows what we do not.
