The guy who dumped you was an asshole, and while he did you a favor in the long run (imagine pursuing a relationship with someone so small-minded and lacking in compassion), I understand that his reaction was somewhat traumatic and imposed yet another unwarranted layer of shame on you. I can’t wait to be with him and take our relationship to the next level.Ĭongratulations on getting to a place where, through your process, you can enjoy sex comfortably. I’m ecstatic! This is literally my dream come true! He lives in the Pacific Northwest, and I’m still in our hometown halfway across the country, but he’s coming to visit me for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then we started texting, and within two weeks, we were talking on the phone for hours at a time almost every day, even declaring our love for one another. Well, out of the blue, Nick contacted me on Facebook, and we started sending messages back and forth. Every time one of my relationships failed, all I could think was that it was because I was meant to have been with Nick. Fast forward 16 years, and I still carried a torch for Nick. Because of a medical disability, I had to stop going to school at the beginning of junior year-before I had the chance to tell “Nick” how I felt about him. When I was a freshman in high school, I met and became casual friends with a guy who was funny, charming, smart, handsome, and down to earth. I hate it! This is an example of indiscretion that warrants a breakup. In this case, though, you did have understanding, you weren’t dogmatic, and you still got screwed by her screwing. In general, our culture could use a little more compassion for people’s widespread inability to adhere to dogmatic monogamy. I never think cheating is OK, but I also don’t think it always has to be a fire-able offense, either. My general feeling is that a lot of relationships would be saved if people were a little bit more understanding of their partners’ desires. You have been an incredibly understanding and generous partner, and you were treated like dirt in return. It sucks that this happened to you, and reading it made me sad. “No need to put your seat belt on, I’m a very safe driver,” your girlfriend told you-a few minutes before driving headfirst into a wall. You were betrayed, and what’s galling is you attempted to foster an arrangement that would have prevented it.
