The sound of the bullet that I just dodged...Swoosh. Fine, a relationship bullet but one that could have been detrimental to my forward march. Swoosh.
As my circle widens, I know I will encounter more of these sad men who are addicted to their stories of woe. It's much easier to convince themselves they are incapable of being in a healthy relationship than it is to actually do the hard work to be in one. I found the grit to release myself from that kind of marriage and with the help of a wonderful counselor, I'm listening to my inner antennae and extricating myself if I have a "sense" that I'm about to succumb to that again.
I don't mind being in the firing line. I know that to win big, one has to bet big. GO BIG OR GO HOME is actually a good motto in the relationship world.
Gee, I better stop patting myself on my back and go about the daily business of being fulfilled...after all, somebody's got to do it for all the ones who are too scared to try. Naughty me! ;-)
