BackFromTheStorm,
As I am sure you are aware, we approach infidelity and many of its reasons differently, with different conclusions. However, no matter the distance between our views, I do value your thoughts. And I appreciate your expansion of those thoughts.
Asterisk
Sure thing.
And is no problem.
Everything I share is my journey having been forced against my will to live with infidelity for over half my life.
Having to deal with it in solitude and with no help got me into a lot of introspection. No guidance means you have to make sense of it all and there is seemingly no sense in it.
My conclusion now after many previously thought ones that in the end didn’t held to my scrutiny, is that love and infidelity are above all a matter of "finding yourself" and "losing yourself".
I understand that’s likely a very different perspective from therapy and healthy recovery, because I came to realize it through a very different patch.
A very dark one then, but the fear of the dark is gone for good.
So I can now empathize with both sides of this recurring, kaleidoscopic but always similar in each incarnation, horror story.
After touching it doesn’t touch you anymore.
