What just happened? Kramer's journey continues

[Kramer]

The only requirement I have for the immediate future is OM gone. I realize that she needs time to grieve the loss of that relationship. I also realize that in order for us to have any chance, that things need to move slowly.

I need to find some way to portray that I will stand and fight for my M, but am not willing to sweep everything under the rug. Her actions caused so much pain and destruction, and as cautiously optimistic as I am, I am also very guarded. She hurt me deeply. Worse than anyone ever has. I don't know if I could take further deceit on her part.

I did tell her that she needs to figure out what she wants. We'll see how she responds.

And I've thought this out. There's a good chance that even if she decides she wants to try reconciliation, that the damage may be too great. I'm ok with trying and failing. All I ever wanted was that chance.
