Dear sweetrob:

Thank you for sharing this. The pain of first-love-betrayed is enormous. That first connection broken… probably the woman who broke your heart, probably her first love was betrayed as well, if it was not a man, it could have been her love for her mother or father, that trust and love for the then most important person in her life, that trust was broken. Not anything you could have done anything about all those years ago, or now.

That betrayed love, early on, no one can heal but the injured person herself through great will and perseverance. Most people do not go that way, and not seeing how they were betrayed, not seeing it thoroughly enough- they keep hurting others.

You probably would have been a victim in her life, your love never been enough to make up for the early love-betrayed in her life. And so life goes on, you escaped THAT and she… well, most likely will never know any better.

Sad, isn’t it..? Nothing you could have done or can ever do…
