Hi Pen - Until I read your post, I had no intention of telling NG that my approach was to consign our old relationship as dead and gone, and start afresh.
Quote: I came because I knew I’d never find any peace within myself if I didn’t confront the feelings of remorse that were clawing at me like some feral creature. I wanted to be able to forgive myself, but in order to do so, I first had to learn what it is a LBS goes through, so I am grateful for your perspective.
This just made my heart stop. What if this gnaws at him too? Should I not at least try to put him out of his misery? Something to think about. Slowly.
