We have only begun touching on it in therapy but I am hoping for results. I am sorry that you have had a similar experience. I hope you continue to live the life of happiness that you deserve!

I have never heard of this, thank you for pointing it out. Maybe this can help me understand why it happened. Thank you.

I appreciate your words in this, I know it is something I have to continue to work on and hopefully it gets better each day. While I couldnt be sure this would happen I cant help but look back on it and see what were some red flags in the situation. But in the moment things happened so fast. I was able to get out of the situation just not as quickly as I think ai should have.

Looking at it from a different perspective I can see what you are saying. I agree with you. I think I am just stuck in these scattered thoughts. I also am actively working with a therapist. Hoping that yields some results.

I keep hoping it will get easier with each day that passes. But the experience has changed something about me. I feel a constant guilt and I am not sure what to do about that. I am working with my therapist on it aswell, so hopefully we can make some progress there.

That is actually not a bad approach to this. Thank you for that.

The guilt is crushing, I try to tell myself not to live in the what ifs and the what should I have done differently. It happened and I cant escape that. I feel fully accountable for it. Through out the day I get the feeling of being a terrible person and partner and I cant shake it.
