[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cheating has nothing to do with me, nor would abuse or addiction.

I don't take it personally. I chose a partner and he did not live up to my expectations. I actually am not even mad, he is flawed. I didn't expect perfection but his imperfection was something I decided I did not want to live with.

I never say "why me" when things happen that are negative, I think... "why not me".

What makes me so special that I will go through life without being hurt. [/quote]

I love this mindset. I wasn’t married to him but had a long term boyfriend who cheated and got the other woman pregnant. Not the same as a marriage, I know, but a deep betrayal nonetheless. To me, every person is their own person and no man I dated from that relationship forward deserved to be penalized for the misdeeds of my ex. I think it’s shitty to do that and blame it on trust issues. See a therapist, do what you have to, but above all realize 1) it’s not your fault and 2) it’s not the fault of anyone who might be in your future, either. [/quote]
