Actually, you know what? I'm feeling a little angry today.
Yeah, sure, I'll own the fear of being abandoned scenario. That's been mine for a while.
But the fear of betrayal? Why should I deal with that? I never worried about that before all of that stuff happened. I don't know why, I just never thought that the person I was M to would do something like that. I never felt insecure around other women, never compared myself to them. None of that sort of stuff registered on my radar. I was just busy being myself. But now, all that stuff that happened has made me stop and think, and worry.
But why should I be foisted with those concerns, when that was never my struggle anyway?
Can I just reject that? Just make a decision to say 'no thanks, I don't want **that** particular struggle'?
