I gave her little attention to an affective addict. She is irrational and she kind of burned the house by revenge. She cheated. and had a four month affair. Two thing she done to the relationship. she lost trust. she made me loose pride in my relationship. I have pride in the familly but not my love life. That what cheating do to me. Once the pride is gone, allong with trust. i dont consider myself happy. while she is working hard to convince me. I am not anymore bound to her. I asked openrealtionship. not by vengeance. because i dont trust her to be monogamous And i found it really hard to tell her about Elyse because i didnt want it to end In openrelationship i can tell her while its happening and continue to enjoy it. And it apply to her too. ill get some power on her love life i never had. And i want it to be equal. I dont feel equal being faithfull to someone who struggle to be too. I dont feel equal that she had her flaw and the fun that come with it. I dont feel she really what to remove these event from her past. because she said I want to throw away your sadness, abstract hope, she should hoped to prevent herself from doing it. I dont beleave anymore that she will change. Because now she is in stress. It is not vengeance, because the best vengeance would be walk away. I want to regain pride and trust with her. This is why I will become like her. Old devoted martin is dead. Only remain a broken hearth who remember his love for the mother of his child. I still want to take care of her. I just cant anymore brag about our mariage. it does not have anymore value to me. beyond the paper that protect kids.
