Thanks Doodler and Feyth. I appreciate the responses so much!
I will have to read LiM’s situation. I don’t think that OM was physically abusive… just crazy. Obviously if everything had gone peachy and her life was perfect, then she would still be with him.

I guess the part I am missing right now is being plan B. Am I plan B? If I am plan B then what is plan A? OM? I don’t think so. I do think that there is a fairly decent chance of this happening again in the future if we get back together. Ugh.

Feyth, we have just started scratching the surface on all of that. She said yesterday that there was ‘history’ there. I’ll have to figure out exactly what happened there and how it ended. She said it had been over for months. It sounded like, from our talk yesterday, that they were for sure an item. This is the first time we talked about him. This convo was via test but I started it that way. We talked face to face a bit yesterday.

It is interesting the responses here. I think I have blinders on. I see remorse coming from her and her admitting that she made the wrong choices. Everyone seems to be very skeptical. So let me ask this… if you were in my shoes, what would it take for you to be convinced otherwise?

I feel like we are making baby steps of progress. We will have more discussions in the future. This will be very tough to get past though.
