Dear Anita,

Thank you for everything. It has been an eye-opening experience for me.

Yes, you’re right in saying that I want to get out of this distress, but my mind is resisting the change it requires to get out of it. I had the perfect opportunity to get out of it by being with her, but I chose to stay in the misery to avoid the distress of a married life. Omg, it all makes sense now. I am afraid to get married – afraid of getting tied down. I can’t believe I let her go because I was afraid of getting married even though she was everything I ever wanted in a wife. I could have married my best friend.

I won’t make this mistake again, but how do I move past this regret? Any practical suggestion?
