I'm going to have to be vulnerable all over again. I'm going to have to trust another man again. It wasn't hard with you asking for permission and having known you for years. I don't get that safety-net history again. I don't get the reassurance he won't be a man that in two years turned into a boundary breaking monster. It is not your fault for leaving but I still resent the choice and harbor the pain all the same.
