Some recent posts by Meizac have gotten me thinking about forgiveness again. Forgiveness and anger--and pain and remorse, and everything else tied up in that tangle of emotions we get when a relationship ends. I haven't been involved with anyone for about 10 years. I quit trying after the last "relationship" I had ended. I use scare quotes because it wasn't a relationship, just a series of occasional one night stands in a friends-with-benefits arrangement.
Purplemary54 is right. Maybe if he had hurt (or at least appeared to hurt) even 1/10 as much as I hurt, this would somehow have been easier to deal with.
