Thank you for your response, anita.

We by no means felt like we were equal, as the releationship had ended before I slept with another woman. We did try again recently to work on things but we mutually came to the conclusion that we will have to break up eventually due to wanting very different things in the future. We have decided to cut our losses, but are not completely closed off to the idea of working on things if we feel we cannot be without eachother. I am glad to be able to say that we have ended things on good terms. Depsite her mistakes, she is a really wonderful person and I wouldn’t have wanted us to end with any animosity between us.

Thank you to everyone who has responded to my post, you have all said some really insihtful things and I’m pleased to report that I am now at peace with everything that has happened. 🙂
