“Back Together”
Yes, you read it right “Back Together”. I was OBSESSED with this man. I was so heartbroken I couldn’t eat or sleep. I decided to go and see a therapist. I had been answering his “apology emails” and so I told him I was going to see a therapist. He was OK with that. So, I made an appointment and went and saw the therapist. I told him all about this man’s cheating and the entire story. I also told him that this man had his Master’s Degree in Psychology and even practiced it for a bit according to him. The therapist was appalled! He told me that this man was a total jerk and no wonder he isn’t practicing anymore. It made sense to me but felt good to hear it from a professional. I had my BFF behind me the entire time. She was always telling me to dump him and I never would listen to her. I didn’t listen to the therapist either. In fact, after my therapy session I headed over to his house at his request so we could “talk about it”.
Well, after talking about it and us both crying about the entire mess we decided we wanted to stay together and I would have to trust him and he would do everything he could to help me get over this. I secretly thought to myself that I was happy this happened and that it must be meant to be and I had his full attention now and I instantly I mean instantly felt better in fact I fell deeper in love knowing that he was so upset he did this to me he even cried!.
It became a game of got to get this guy! Operation get this guy and change his ways after all I was so “special” that of course he made a mistake but I know he would never do it again!
Life was blissful for a few months even though I knew I couldn’t trust him but he did check in with me when he was supposed to and I was still traveling every week M-F so it was super tough that “I wonder what he is doing feeling” it never EVER went away. I never trusted him again even though I tried very hard to.
