I would have been hurt no matter what. So I got hurt, and now I m getting over it and trying to move on and find a better relationship. That s healthy. I want a permanent commitment, I want someone who s willing to work through rough patches and desires to grow alongside me. Someone who won t cheat, and someone who can deal with life s inevitable tragedies.
Casual affairs are useless, and broken hearts are too damaging.
The tough part, of course, is finding such a person. I m looking for compatibility, and I believe I may have found it, but I have to be sure.
