@Bunniekins Oh trust me, I'm a runner when it comes to relationships, so I have fought against all my instincts and all the difficulties to still be here, in life and the relationships

@Sparky79 but i am a saggie not a cancer and we are two different animals when it comes to people and emotions. you have to protect yourself and distance yourself from the drama and wait for significant others to do the work imho. sit back and see what happens. it might sound cold but they have to work their shit out and so do you. you really need to find a safe place for yourself.

@Bunniekins Wise words from a wonderful woman, I agree with you 100%.
I'm definitely going to be sitting back and letting things play out. I can only control how I react, what I do, not what happens. Honestly, as long as they're happy and healthy I wish nothing but the best for them, Ideally it would be in my arms, but if not there's nothing more I can do.

@Bunniekins Honestly from the very start everything has been on their terms, but I'm a caring understanding guy so I accepted that and respected their wishes. Which highlights one of my faults, I sacrifice myself, my boundaries my standards, when I was married that was done for a short peace, a short reprieve from mental and emotional abuse. Now it has been to accommodate my partners and their emotional needs.

@Bunniekins I try to be a good guy, I truly hope Mumma has a good explanation or reason for doing what she did as I don't think I'll be able to ever trust anyone ever again 100%. The whole idea I have for friends for living life and benefits sounds nice, without the whole potential of betrayal and deceit
