hi anita,

it’s good to hear from you again! i’m doing and feeling much better. i no longer feel the constant guilt and anxiety. my relationship is also doing very well so overall i’m very happy! i have not spoken to my ex since the incident and he continues to be blocked on all platforms. i have no need or wish to speak to him. i’ve also limited my alcohol consumption and stopped drinking around other men without my partner present. these boundaries have helped keep myself in check and move on.

during some rare moments, i find myself thinking of the ache from time to time. it helps when i tell myself that if the roles were reversed, i would forgive my partner. it’s still a bit of a sore spot when i think of it but i think that this will pass over time. the further i get away from the incident, the better i feel.

how are you doing and how have you been? i’m afraid i don’t know what mistake or wrongdoing you are referring to but my original promise still stands. because you heard me when i needed someone and forgave me, you can confess your mistake to me. i’m here to listen and help in any way i can!

Dear anonymous:

Good to read from you again! I am fine, thank you, still taking my daily walks and today it may  be in the falling snow (it is forecasted to snow anytime). Unfortunately (or fortunately, for me), I forgot what I was thinking about when I offered to confess a wrongdoing to you more than 2 months ago, in my last post. I am not motivated to go digging for it because admitting my wrongdoings is not my favorite thing to do (this is why I am trying to do no wrong, so that I don’t have to admit doing wrong).

Good to read that you applied what you learned from the experiences we discussed (blocking your ex on everything forever and limiting your drink intake, especially around other men), that you are very happy in your relationship and that you no longer feel constant guilt. If it helps to not be reminded of it, you can start a new thread, new title, new topic…?
