There was a pattern of infidelity in my previous relationship, and I turned into a complete different person because of it. I was always miserable, my personality changed suddenly, and I felt unhappy. I had allowed a guy to be in control of my life and my happiness for almost 5 years! It was awful and unhealthy. But I put a stop to it and decided to end that relationship. I kept giving in to second, and even third chances... thinking that we can overcome the past and become closer, but it was the same routine over and over again. I am better now, happier, and free! There are times that I look back at all the good times we had, but recognize that underneath it....there was a shadow of lies and betrayal. Things are not always what they appear to be... Thanks to Snodgrass I realized that he was not betraying me or lying to me, he was betraying himself! I have learned to gain insight, and I learned to love myself more. I no longer let things get in the way of my happiness as before :)
