Dear Anita,

Thank you for your insight. I won’t deny most of it. But I will tell you that the relationship was intimate and there were other women where similar situations arose.

I might be a habitual liar. I wasn’t aware of it. I will introspect. In the meantime, I will appreciate if you could give me some guidance on how to be better. I do not want to spend my life the way it is. I do not want to be a sycophantic.

You made me feel like a monster, but I will accept your words with grace because you also comforted me when I needed you. I was not exaggerating the feelings I was feeling. In my opinion, this is what happened – I did not value her when she was with me. I only knew of her value when she was gone and when it was too late. It is a regret that I will have to live with. I was in pain of regret and I lied. Yes, I did. It does not make it okay to lie no matter the circumstances, so I admit my fault there. I’m sorry.

Please post your additional thoughts. I find this conversation eye opening.
