Transcript

How do I walk away after being the other woman for probably about two years? Tell me more about it. Let me do this instead of I want to hear with the story, but when you say, it sounds like you're asking me for for a mechanics question, but I think you're asking something way deeper. Cuz like how do you walk away? You block him on everything, you stop returning his calls and you deal with the heartbreak and the grief not only of this relationship but of the fantasy of it all and you at some level violating your own core values which is I participated in long term deception. I'm going to gripe with the crap out of that. I'm going to be sad. And I'm not going to the the contact is over. And then I'm going to be about finding my own new relationships, my new friendships, etc. building a life that I want to live inside of my own skin within. That's that's a mechanic side. But it sounds like you're asking me a deeper question. We have been Seeing each other longer than the other well I'm the other woman but you know the main woman has been there. Okay so I'll stop I'll want to interrupt as we go because I want to break this the story that is taken hold in you okay so I want you to tell me the story and I'm annoyingly gonna gonna jump in okay. Right so when it comes to loneliness doesn't matter doesn't matter. All right keep going. So we started seeing each other and it got serious pretty quickly which kind of scared me so I wasn't ready for all of that and then he decided he was going to start seeing other people which then I didn't like that but I just dealt with it and then eventually he told me that there was somebody that he was I guess more serious with and so at that point we could no longer be seen in public.
