Ethic 3

You already chose him, you’re already indebted to him, so there could never be an us. You’re too honorable of a woman to let go of a man you feel like you owe. You have years in with him. You’re invested, but you don’t love him anymore. It took him too long to change into the man you needed him to be and you built up walls to protect yourself from the man he was. He damaged the best parts of you in the beginning. He’s a different man now but, unfortunately for him, you’re different now too. The hurt he put on you has changed you. That’s why you’re here because you trust me with the parts of you that he took for granted. You know what I do to you, how I would have made you feel before…”
