Thanks for sharing your insights T2. Your friend asked some interesting questions regarding trust. I've heard LBSs, reeling from the pain of betrayal, swear they will never trust their spouse again. Or themselves, for putting their loving trust in someone who ultimately proved to be so untrustworthy.
But just like your friend showed you that you do trust yourself, your intuition and emotional attachment, with your kids, friends, self, just like you trust yourself, you trust your W in many ways too. With your kids, to handle money, drive the car, to go to work. Cook maybe. Maybe not in your case I think a lot of areas of trust remain if we take a minute to think about them, and that others will return.
Especially if the only questions you have truly are: -Can I forgive, fully, honestly and completely? -Can I leave the past where it belongs, in the past?
You know the answer to your questions is an unconditional yes. My answer is yes too. No wonder we all have crushes you're a great role model T2, even for us gals.
My goal/prayer is that I will deal with honour, act with courage, and achieve humility. And as always, may I do unto others.... Someday. I hope.
