Title: In Need Of Support Post by: bauers220 on September 04, 2013, 03:08:02 PM I posted this on another board but I think this is a more appropriate place since I am still so in the throws of what to do... .
HELP! Any advice would be welcome. I posted as a newcomer on another board here but I am in a place of weakness. I have spent the last 8 months with a spiritual counselor/therapist. A month ago this woman who has been in and out of my life for 2 years began to work with the counselor herself. We went a month with almost N/C as we each sorted separate issues. During the times she left my life for one reason or another I had dated others. In the first year I slept with two other women but never told her. First we were apart and second I KNOW this woman and how she would handle it. This year it happened again - this time with a woman she knew - someone she had set me aside to chase last year. She lied to me about this woman many times saying she was only a friend. Well this woman was all too happy to prove her wrong by showing me emails between them. When I confronted her she got angry and said we were NOT in a relationship and she was not in love with me. In my hurt I let this other woman take me to dinner and we were intimate later that evening. The thing with my ex GF is - she always had a "feeling" about me with others but never got me to admit it. Enter my counselor/mentor... . She mediated between us to get us to come clean on the past so we could have a fresh start. My ex was very open and willing to hear the truth and we seemed to be okay - more than okay - it was an amazing day of forgiveness and understanding on both sides... . Until 3 days later. She has left my life saying she cannot move past what I did and that it crosses her boundaries (like she has any). Told me never to contact her again - she is starting over. Is she gone? Well if past patterns are any indication - the answer is NO. Or maybe this is the one thing that keeps her gone... . What bothers me is that this is MY fault in her eyes. Every thing she put me through - my mental state is so far gone at this point I cannot remember what it feels like to feel normal. Part of me wants her to come back around so I can tell her she put me through hell and I am done with her. And another part of me still holds out this hope that we can work through all this and with the help of therapy get to a healthier place... . am I delusional? Why does this have me such a shell of what I once was.

It's not absolutely set in stone of course, but I'd say it's 90%-99% true. |
