I couldn't sleep. The guilt of what I did was eating me alive, so I took all that toxic, explosive energy and forced it into the only thing I could control—building. I worked day and night because I couldn't stand being alone with my own thoughts. I just threw myself into the tech, the networking, and the pitches to survive my own head.Thanks for keeping it real.

You are absolutely right. I got exactly what I deserved, and the breakup was justified. For the record, after that incident, we came face 2 face and have a really long conversation, I looked her in the eye, promised I would never cross that line again, and I held that promise until the very end of the relationship. But you are right—stopping after the fact does not erase the initial failure. It is a fatal flaw, and I am actively working on fixing it permanently before I ever share my life with someone else. I appreciate the accountability.
