A yr ago today I was in love and had found out I was the other woman in a marriage that was to end in divorce 7 mos later. He asked me to marry him, then to live with him, then to spend every night with him, in that order. I declined each, and it ended bitterly but ultimately with a sort of peace and a much needed emotional blankness.
Ironically, I talked to Tpop just this a.m. after being out of touch. He has just begun to see someone (2 dates). He likes her, and of course he believes she is in love with him already (narcissist). Of course, he mentioned that it wasnt like with me though. Oh no, no, shes no Babydoll. He then suggested that perhaps we could see each other, but it would need to be in secret as he didnt want to hurt this woman. WTF?!
Phew! Im thankful for the insight a year can give.
