I just dont think that warranted an eye roll. Although I phrased the original comment a little smarm so I can see the reaction I guess.

Nothing worse than eye roll people on this board. Say what you wanna fuckin say.

I'd probably forgive her, but it would be long after I already chopped her up in tiny pieces and dumped her in a forest preserve.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

Now that we are done eyerolling...
I brought up the one example because that particular person is a good friend of mine and we've had the conversation...it wasn't just a random observation on my part.

i think what gets lost in all of this is a person's level of confidence and their ability to survive alone. Fear of being alone, unwilling to make the $$ sacrifice / investment....shit, some poeple flat out can't take care of themselves. Lots of people stay together for the wrong reasons.

My ex-wife never cheated on me, but there was a time where she was out running around and having one of those "emotional affairs". I knew it at the time, and simply felt she's either work through it or leave me. Sadly...she worked through it and I ended up leaving her 7 years later for basically the same reason. We were a bad match and neither one of us got what we needed from one another.

so yes, you never know until you're in that situation, but I've been pretty close and can confidently say...I'd forgive her, but I wouldn't stay with her.
