Last night I had a great date...
with a guy with the original spider man logo tattoo'd on his forearm. He was really cute too, we did a lot of talking, and that's a good start for me.
After I went to Uncle Joe's bar... I met Daddy & Lisa there & of course Uncle Joe & Aunt Sue were there too...
Aunt Sue pulled me outside to chat, we talked about how I was doing since Sean, and we talked about dating. Then she admitted to me about her affair no one has any idea I knew about, so I played dumb and I listened. She told me how ashamed she is to tell people about it, but that she trusts me, and hopes I never forget this conversation so I don't ever make the same mistake. She told me how much she regrets it and how Uncle Joe won't look her in the eye... I can't blame the man. I promised her the convo was between her and I....
Later when I went to say goodbye to Uncle Joe, he asked me what I talked to Aunt Sue about outside... I looked him in the eye and told him I promised not to tell. He said to me it doesn't matter anymore... and asked what do you know. I wrapped my arms around him and told him "everything"... it was finally OK for me to admit it. He opened up to me with a tear in his eyes, Told me how he doesn't know if anything is ever going to be OK. As hard as it was I told him to remember what he told me when Sean left...
I told him how I promise to be there to hold him together, like he held me together.
I can't imagine the pain that man is in... I know how much it hurts me, still... and I dated Sean for a year. I didn't marry him, I don't have a child with him. Love scares the hell out of me, because how can it be turned off like that....
