you feel as if she drove your relationship off a cliff while you stood by helplessly and that you've been deeply betrayed.
I think thats a great description of how I feel/what happened actually. I'm actually laughing at how accurate this feels to me.
You realize this isn't true though, right? Even if your only contribution to the failure of the marriage was ignoring obvious red flags, then you still were more than just a helpless bystander.
You are right. Being almost finished with "Love Must Be Tough", I was way too passive and allowed her to walk all over me.
Josh, having said all of that, it doesn't justify her breaking her marital vows. So while you're not completely innocent, you weren't the one that bailed and stepped out on the marriage.
Important because of your religious beliefs (which I share).
