Hi - Actually I posted (I think) a new thread in For Newcomers beginning my own story.
It is merely named "Hello" but I don't think it has passed moderation yet. I am here in this forum (I think) because my wife and I are in the process of "officially" joining the R. Catholic Church and we have both had to go thru the annulment process for our previous marriages. This has broken thru some old mental scabs and made me introspective. Perhaps just coincidentally I have watched a few movies recently ABOUT adultery and unfaithfulness - some that I have seen before - but find they are hitting me much more emotionally, right now.
Fiction is only fiction, of course - but fiction often encompasses/illustrates broader general human condition truths.
The number one truth I think I finally recognize is "I can't have my cake and eat it too. And you (no one) can't either." Unfortunately, this is a lesson that can NOT be emotionally taught to any other person - they can only learn it from their own experience, seems like.
