Once Upon A Time...

We were living a fairytale... and then Reality hit. I made some big mistakes and we never seemed to recover and move past (them)...we would pay lip service to love and forgiveness and forget about it just as quickly.

I was also diagnosed with a psychological condition that I was afraid to get treatment for and that seemed to make things tougher.

My frustration grew

Your frustration did NOT justify your hitting her

My frustration levels grew as we always seemed to dwell on my mistakes and my partner totally ignored her own (faults)

I DO acknpwledge my fault in all of this.

or dismissed them as my fault.

That's odd. I told your girlfriend that she seems to be focusing too much on YOUR feelings.

As time went by, my feelings were something that always got pushed aside to discuss hers; but no matter what, I tried to keep my promises—even when I wasn't getting any recognition for them.

I just want to do everything to make it better and move forward into a real relationship.

Are we capable of forgiving and moving forward?
