More trouble
Feb. 6th, 2002 12:30 pmAnd this is his reply to my reply. It seems fair, and it's good to get his side, though it's very painful to read. I am considering my response.
Bitterness?!? You had sex with my wife, you asshole. I actually think the whole thing is
quite comical. I can't believe the lofty pillars from which you write. In the world I live
in, any conversation regarding these facts begins with something like, "I'm sorry I fucked
your wife." and continues with, "I'm sorry about all the sexual innuendo I played out in
front of you. It was cruel to act as if any of this was some kind of game." and finishes
with, "It was disingenuous of me to call you on the phone and feign interest in your
problems, when I, in fact, was one of them. I'm so so sorry for hurting you." [Sabbath] and
I are fine about it. I don't know if we are going to stay together, but that has nothing to
do with what happened between you guys. Can't you see that when you put your hands all over
her when I was around, or when you alluded to you g uys sleeping together jokingly, how
unbelievably bad that makes me feel in retrospect. It was a hateful way to behave. There is
nothing else I'm interested in understanding. No offense, but it's none of my business.
So, you see, you are indeed the on ly sticking point with this whole thing. If you aren't
sorry for any of this behavior, then I don't see what we have to talk about. I simply can't
believe that I've now gotten three emails from you without any kind of apology. It's fucking
bizarre. At this point, it would feel so hollow, just having to drag it out of you. I'm not
sure at what point I could accept regrets so given. Maybe in a year or something, you can be
a little more stand-up about this whole mess.››

and yet there is a point. Are you sorry? Are you going to appoligize? I think I would have started there.
You know you have a shoulder. I'm here if you need to lean.
