Relationship Trust and betrayal

[Sighs]

I'm in a fortunate position. We are not married. We have no children together. I am financially independent of him. (Would it be hard to manage financially on my own - yes, but with some more or less significant lifestyle changes it could be done.) And, as I was reminded here there is no need to rush into a decision. I can literally take it day by day. If his behaviour changes and he treats me with respect and love, well and good. If he doesn't, well the door is always open for me to leave. I think I may FINALLY have reached the @Sweetpea76 like zen I've been aiming for. ;):whistling:

Yep... it's that "I love you but I don't need you" zone. Needing somebody to exist or be happy is not healthy, especially if they're sucking the life out of you. Now, if they're a source of happiness when you're already content, then it's all gravy.

@Sighs I have seen so much growth in
this post. You have let yourself feel all hurt, fear and painful emotions you have tried to keep buried. You have let yourself see your inner truth. By doing this you have also learn self compassion. Self compassion is hard to reach, but when you do it is a beautiful , zen.
