I remember back when we were dating, she'd had a few drinks and she kept telling me that she had too much baggage and that I should run away. I didn't run away. I didn't know the extent of the damage at the time and I was certain that I could help her through anything. Even if I had known the extent of the abuse, I still wouldn't have run away; I was deeply in love with her.
There where little flags that popped up every now and then that I just attributed to her quirks and tendencies. I wasn't informed of any abuse until after BD - however, she remembered it all. As with you, I wouldn't have ran. What I would have done was change the way I approached things. I don't have those hard feelings anymore. I'm not sure what I have, anymore. But I still would have tried.

I would've gladly stayed with her the rest of our lives, but she chose a different path. However, the next time someone tells me they have too much baggage, I'll certainly consider the potential for future complications.
I like this. A lot.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
