Forgiving too much
by Sherry
(Massachusetts )
I had a pre-planned family vacation before I met my boyfriend. We were together 3 months when I left for that vacation. While I was gone he reconnected with an ex girlfriend and sent her a text telling her he still loved her and was going to get her back. He also sent one of their mutual friends a fb message that he met with her and all his old feelings for her came back and that he would drop me in a minute for her.
When I confronted him about this he said he didn't know why he did what he did or said what he said because he loved me. I have forgiven him but I can not get those words I read out of my head. I don't know what to do about it.

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
