To the one who
calls herself "Pathetic Girl":
"Happily ever
after"
Now, where have
I heard that term? Oh yeah, I've heard it in fairy tales and
animated classics from Disney.
Here in the real
world, it's a little different. For example, sometimes we
kiss frogs and they don't turn into princes. On the plus side,
we generally don't have evil witches or kings trying to kill
us. Also, some of the frogs turn out to be pretty nice.
Real Relationships
Take Work. Seek Counseling
In the real world,
being in a loving, healthy relationship is really hard. You
have to work at it every day. You two sound like you have
been having quite a few difficulties and I'd suggest that
you seek counseling before you decide to make your relationship
permanent (read: forever).
Both of you have
contributed a lot to breaking down trust. You may want to
consider counseling on your own in addition to couples counseling.
But... How
Did You Feel?
Much of what you
said focuses on Mr. X's violations, but not your feelings
about them. You are talking about what he's doing and not
enough on what you want.
A Counselor
Can Help You Sort Out These Feelings
Perhaps counseling
can help you decide if Mr. X is the right person for you.
You're far
from being "pathetic", so make sure that the partner you choose
is as wonderful as you are.
