forget about your house of cards, and i'll deal mine

[every5thsunday]

the past week of my life has been one of triumph and loss. of course, to the unbiased viewer, it could be surmised that, in fact, it was of loss from the very beginning. prior to the week, i had been formulating a very close relationship with a woman named chloe. she and i had met, like any other encounter in my current life, in tate street coffee

Ouch. I haven't met this Chloe person, but she's being wishy-washy and a twerp. And I can call her that because I've gone through the same song and dance that she is right now. Her actions are hurting all three of you: you because you really dig on her, her fiancé because she's being dishonest with him, and herself from all the things left unsaid. She sounds like she's afraid to be alone, which I can understand and sympathize with. But when you drag other people in your indecision, people get hurt. I was sorry for every mistake I ever made when I was with Bruce, but that didn't stop me from doing what I did. In the end, I left him because if I continued as we were, I was going to run myself into the ground and take him with me. Carter has left me because he feels our lives are going in two different directions at the moment, so I had to hit the ground running and learn what it is to be a single adult. It hurts sometimes, but I have to say I enjoy the freedom that comes with it

despicable

Not only was it despicable for this chloe person to cheat on a man who loved her so much that he asked her to be his wife, but you knew that she was engaged and you became the other man which is almost as bad. She knowingly committed emotional and sexual abuse against her fiancée, but so did you- the only thing that makes her misdeed worse is that she supposedly loved this person. This guy can now, forever, say that he had a fiancée who cheated on him. The amount of potential pain caused to this person verges on sadistic. Victims of infidelity can suffer from PTSD like symptoms including nightmares, flashbacks, obsession and paranoia, extreme avoidance, depression, anxiety, etc, etc. While this is more common in female victims of infidelity, it can occur in both genders. I sure as hell hope he finds out and dumps her ass as fast as he can.
