Well, not to imply it didn't take me a while to get to this point (3-4 years in fact, and it's still an ongoing process), but in the end I think it was for the best, and I'm okay with it now. As much as the process sucked, it sucks more to be with someone your whole life who's just going through the motions. You end up blaming yourself and it does lousy things to your self-esteem. It's no better to go through that.

Re: cut and dried -- It's not, though. I mean, it wasn't at the time. The answer he gave didn't match anything in my experience with him, and directly contradicted everything I'd known before hand. It took me literally years to accept it and to look back and find evidence to support it. I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he loved me -- So then was everything I'd lived a lie? Was I that stupid? Or was he lying now ( ... )
