    A Bit Of A Positive Update:

    Hey y´all!

    Miguel and I have been in a bit of a slump lately. It´s been a little over a year since "The Incident" with the other girl (Maybe some of you remember me ranting on here about that), and I realized that I haven´t gotten over what happened at all. Our love has never quite been the same since it happened. There has always been a small element of mistrust there, and any time she contacts him, I get into a rage. Not cool to either of us. And besides that, lately I have been getting mad at him for Every. Little. Thing. And I mean everything. "How dare you go home to Mexico to visit your family!" "Excuse me? Bitch please, how dare you not tell me you are watching television!" " You fell asleep on me while we were texting?!? Well fuck you!" (Even though he had like no sleep for a week...)

    That really needed to stop.

    Yesterday and today, our "arguments" changed. They because disagreements, where we both began to understand/make the effort to see each others point of view. We have been talking about everything that has been bothering us and hurting our relationship. He told me that he has always had a tendency to think purely logically, emitting emotions. A regular Mr. Spock, if you will. It´s not that he was ignoring my feelings, he just didn´t even acknowledge that I had them. I told him that I understood everything that he said to an extent, but explained to him that he needs to take into account MY feelings as well. I also told him, finally, that I was not okay with his continuing friendship with the girl that he once left me for, for sex. As much as I tried to find peace there, knowing she was still in his life (Even though I KNOW for a fact that it was ONLY friendship now) was hurting my chances of recovering from what happened.

    So I´ve taken her out of my life. I respect her as a person, but right now, I need to look after MY feelings and MY relationship. They are more important at this point. And he has agreed to limit contact as much as possible. It would be rude to outright delete her from his life at this point, but he agreed to limit their communication to the max, and to keep me informed about it.

    Suddenly, the once innocent and pure love I had for Miguel came rushing back to me. I remembered what it was like to feel this deeply for him.

    I´ve found the one again

          I'm so glad to hear that you've been able to work through these things and reach a point where you think you're making more progress. If I'm completely honest, I cheated on my SO in the middle of 2010, got intimate (but did not sleep) one time with some guy I'd been hanging out with. My SO was worried about it at the time but I told him it wasn't a problem. Turns out denial was my worst enemy in that scenario. I knew when it happened that what i was doing was wrong, but couldn't bring myself to stop. After it happened, and after all the fallout and emotions etc etc I felt like I would have been able to actually just have a friendship with the guy, but out of respect for my SO I cut off all contact between us. I imagine if I hadn't my SO, like you, would have had trouble recovering from the situation.

          The point of my story, something like that is always going to take time to heal. It was almost a year after it happened to us before we got to see each other again. And though we had long been done talking about it, I don't think it was truly properly healed until that time when we could be together in person again and feel that trust. On my end, I constantly used to, and still sometimes do (though it's rare), worry that he might decide that he made the wrong decision in choosing to forgive me and stay with me. But he has stood by me through so much since then, and I'm honestly very lucky to have him.

          So after all that useless info. I understand what you've been through, though it was obviously from the opposite end. It's great to know that you guys are working through it and making real progress especially with respect of each others feelings. Best of luck to you both.

            I am happy that things are getting better! Best of luck!
            Sometimes it seems easy to forget the reasons we are doing this, or to lose the love you felt at first... It's always so wonderful when you find it again!
            Thanks for posting!

              A mans mind simply does not operate the ame as a womans. they tend not to think with emotion. And until we dummy it down for them, they just dont get it. But so many times women just assume they get it, and then we ignore the hurt feelings until it gets so bad that we blow up.
              everything happens for a reason. We may never find out what that reason is/was, but there is a reason.

                  You shouldn't generalize that all men are emotionless and thick, it simply isn't true.

                              The worst thing is when you cover up your true feelings because you feel like you should be 'over it' or ok with the situation. you HAVE to talk it out, doesn't matter how many hours you've already spent talking about it and trying to feel better.. When someone hurts you the patience they require to get back to that place of genuine love is a huge amount.

                              you also have to be patient with yourself.. It's very good to hear you've gotten to a much better place, but please don't mentally punish yourself or stuff the emotions back down if they surface again, for both of your sake it has to be out in the open.

                              By the way, how amazing is it to get that feeling back? that true pure love when there isn't any clouds and you feel better for moving through an issue together.
