as far as inserting myself into someone's life goes, I've already done that. I can't take that back. Trying to would cause Harm. What's the upside to hurting someone I love and who loves me? I know I have trouble separating "nice guy" from "right thing to do" but walking away from this strikes me as Wrong, for more than one reason.
My key observation here, though, is that something is Different. In a way that has never happened in my life. Don't I owe it to myself to see where that goes? No matter how I ended up here? Don't I owe it to GF to live up to the trust she's placed in me?
I imagine my ex would have written this word for word about AP. And many others on here.
To me, it reads like you were susceptible to falling for someone and have convinced yourself that this is the ONE. Look, she certainly might be and you may have gotten extremely lucky that the very first person you went out with was a perfect match. I know for me, I explained away all kinds of issues with the first few people I went out with after D. I was so low that it was so exciting to feel wanted or to feel valued that honestly, he other person could have said or done anything and Id have been head over heels.
Im hoping for the best for you though. Keep posting!
