Well she did acknowledge that she acted selfishly. That was big and I waited a long time to hear it. For it to be a successful R, I need to be able to forgive her. It's harder than I thought it would be. Perhaps it's good this sort of thing takes time.
She assured me there hasn't been anyone else but I don't know if I believe it.
For me, she needs to prove she's changed and that in the future she understands that we need to work on our problems between us, not talk a mountain of crap with her friends about me and them plan an escape.
That's for me. For her, she says she needs me to be clear about what I want and to communicate. To not be passive aggressive, instead be honest and clear. It's all to-be-continued.
How are you doing Melissa?
Resentment occurs when we aren't doing what we need to care for ourselves, though we expect others to do it for us.
