It hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday morning.
I have been waiting for this realization for 5 months.
It only took one phone call that was less then 5 minutes long.
I truly believe it was a moment that has changed the course of my life.
When Laura finally started being honest about her whole affair with Sharon she explained it to me this way:
"I feel like Sharon is who I have been waiting for my entire life. She just gets me and I have never had anyone get me like she gets me. I feel free to be me with her. We have a connection that I have never had with anyone else."
No wonder I went into complete shock when Laura and I broke up. Laura has told me things about the reason we ended that I would not tell someone that I really disliked, let alone loved.
I felt an obligation to be nice to her and not show my anger or disappointment. Somewhere along the line I learned to put my feelings aside for someone else.
It may appear that Laura and Sharon won, but things aren't always the way they appear.
Laura may have felt that she was the one that was set free, but in reality it was me.

I loved this post. It so reminds me of my situation with my x. It has only been 6 weeks but I already feel "set free". Thanks for helping me to see it this way.
You're free to soar, and you're already on that journey!

lynilu--thanks for the warm welcome
casey--i am feeling good and excited that too much of me was not lost in the process
Yes you are now free to fly with the eagles after escaping from ahem, what is increasingly looking like a "turkey" to me. Sorry just my viewpoint!
