Right now I am just too upset to go into details. At this point I believe I am staying. But HL knows that my mind is not made up. Up and down all night with nightmares. He crossed major boundaries at his job. I am devastated. He is going back to IC. I will be back later.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

Hl decided to walk right up to the line that I had established in our M and stick a toe if not a whole foot over that line. I am sick today, I can't stop crying. I thought we were over this. I guess not. I don't consider him to have cheated, but it was as close as I care to get. I shook for two hours after getting up this morning. I just don't know. I want to stay, but I don't know if I have it in me again.

Did he come to you with this info? Did he realize what he had done and express remorse/decide on IC himself? I'm so sorry.

The nightmares and and shaking mean you're traumatized and I'm so sad you're living with that again...

((((TG)))) I'm sorry.

I understand about boundary violations. It sucks.

Hang in there. Maybe this will be the "key" to him getting it and getting those boundaries iron-clad...kwim?

I am glad he is going back to IC.
