Dear Demeter, thanks for sharing with us your story. I had a similar story (with a stretch) but it’s hard for me to talk about it. I just tried to write about my experience but I stopped almost immediately. I guess it’s also because you have now been together for a whole and I chose to leave in bitter, anger and hurt. I must admire your courage, perhaps you have an intuition, and of course there are more stuff you didn’t write about here. My question is how can you ever trust a person again after this dramatic and shocking event? Or without trying to be rude, have you consider possible manipulation but him (I am not saying he is, I am just wondering). With gratitude and best wishes, Midori
