The more I think about the situation, the more I realize all I did was have a normal reaction that any of her friends would have had given the situation that we all knew about for the last 3 years.

Also, you obviously were never a victim of emotional or verbal abuse like I was. I've been abused by both men and women most of my life, and it screws up your head and makes you think this is what you deserve. It destroys your self confidence and keeps you in abusive relationships. Please stop judging me on why I've been in bad relationships. Last I checked, this was a therapy board, which means most people on this board have low self esteem or came from abusive homes or don't feel good about themselves. If this board was for only well adjusted people who felt great about themselves and had no problems at all, it wouldn't be a therapy board.

It's taken me 48 years to finally realize how I should be treated. Don't judge people on this board based on your own life and where you are please. It's very hurtful.
