Anita,

all of the points that you do touch on about the honesty and open communication from this woman make the regret occur. In turn, the things that i learned in a short period of time made me leave. This is the constant battle that i am experiencing at the moment.

yes, i have always wondered whether others would approve of my choices. I dont like the fact, but its the truth. I need to be more accepting of the decisions that i make for myself, and that be the only thing that matters.

in the end, i hope to find a compatible partner, but i also believe in second chances and forgiveness. Ive given a couple of girls second chances in my dating life, and the result was the same as the first round but who knows. Like we discussed, i dont know the severity of the bipolar and the future of that, and it would be a major risk to go blind into. There could be major issue at the end if that presented, but we never know. All we know is what the statistics prove and make our decisions based on how we feel.
