its true brother, and I see what youre saying. and I look at what both of us is saying, and the crazy part about the whole thing is that the existence of a long term relationship adds a lot more to this decision than maybe some of us want to admit.
the same thing we would axe a regular girl for, its possible that we'd allow our lady to do to us?
and I know that its true, because its what I said too. granted, this woman may have proven herself to you in some way before, but how far does that go, really? and how much is not acceptable?
thats why it gets deeper, when the consequences that are around the both of you play a factor in you making your choices. its something to think about.
youre right, it would be possible to just
assume that shes made it up to you and earned the trust back, because after being with her for so long you start believing in her, and what you two have been through. and its true people do fukk up. other times, its just their insecurities coming out to stay out. but how can you know? then you start saying that
maybe what she did was not so bad.
but that kind of emotion can lead to weakness and a misjudgment of character.
I think it comes down to: how bad was this break of trust, and how often does it happen?
I read an article here posted by 662letgo, and the article spoke about knowing the difference between "game 1 and game 2." game 1 was being out there, being a player, looking a certain way to get attention, and not being tied down to anything. game 2, which was more difficult, was about maintaining a long term relationship.
our mindframe changes when we're on game 2. it actually has to in many ways. its important to be able to distinguish one game from the other when we're making decisions, we always need to be able to take a step back and see where we are at mentally when judging a relationship. take a look at what might be affecting our rationality.
is it our past, our emotions, or what exactly is leaning us towards one way or another? and is it honest? yup, we got to take all that into account especially in game 2.
your full integrity and rational thinking mind has to be present and counted for. so the trust and stability has to be there. if a relationship cant have that, then its time to hit the road.
