The whore.
OK - it's been awhile. But the thing is I am trying to make my peace with the fact that he's not angry anymore and has forgiven her for hurting him.
He wants to be friends with her. At least for now.
I know she's using him for the emotional support that she may not be getting from the man she chose to live with and pursue an exclusive relationship with. But my knowing it and his knowing it are two different things. I cannot teach him this lesson. It's one that he has to learn on his own.
Perhaps he won't ever have to learn it or be further disappointed and hurt by her.
As for me, I am making as much peace with this as I can. It doesn't happen over night and I am the same way with my past loves so how could I expect him to be different?
The fact is he is faced with his mortality. I know he's trying to mend fences and un-burn bridges as much as possible right now. He's righting wrongs and rebuilding bridges.
This is what we call a growth period. Some might call it a mid life crisis.
At the end of the day a growth period is when you re-evaluate your life, take stock and make changes.
He started doing that in January when we did his brothers last fund raiser. It's been slowly but steadily changing and improving as time marches on.
All I can do here is love him and let him know that its OK to talk about things - if it bothers me I will address it as needed.
