GB and TL- it's amazing how many similar characteristics so many of them have pre-mlc. I think it may show that some are predisposed to this. It is a difficult thing for us, to feel so hurt and betrayed, yet feel for them too because we care about them.
Don't beat yourself up about resentment and all that. I think it is human nature, no matter who you are or whom you are dealing with. If we had know it would have come to this, of course we would have addressed it sooner! Things would be way different. We took for granted that they would be there no matter what. Well, really, I knew I would be and I was committed and that I would never just walk away- especially without addressing something! So, I assumed that he was too. He was supposed to be. He should have spoke up if he felt "resentment" from me- not just bail!
It would have happened regardless. We are human and our intentions were good and pure. This is their rodeo.
