How long ago did she have the abortion?

Posted
And this is how and why men get dumped.

 

Hes gonna get dumped anyway, he might as well pre-empt it - since she doesnt want to talk about it.

So after quite a bit of reflection of myself and the posts here, I started to get a sense of how to articulate my feelings.

 

That being said, she was in town yesterday and we went out to grab a beer. I was pretty defensive at first, she could definitely tell. The mood was pretty stiff at first. I'm not sure exactly how it started, but we finally started to break into some things.

 

It's all kind of a blur thanks to the all the emotions that were flowing, but I specifically remember her apologizing about the lack of physical contact. As a VERY emotional woman, she gave a taste of how hard she took the abortion. I understand this, and told her she didn't need to apologize to me.

 

I also remember that for the first time, she mentioned how grateful she was for me. She said I'm the most amazing guy she's ever known, and she truly appreciated how there I was for her during the trying time. I'll admit it, I teared up a little with he touching she said it.

 

After the emotional dam burst, the mood livened greatly, we joked and poked fun at each other like we always had before. She had to drive home to be back for work in the morning, but we decided to hang out a while at my house before she left. Things progressed, and we ended up having sex. She left this morning early, but when I woke up I felt great. A lot of built up frustration was gone.

 

So at this point, I'm not sure what's going to happen. I think opening the communication dam between us did some serious healing. I'm sure there's more to be said, and maybe it won't turn it out to be for the best, but at the moment I feel pretty damn good.

 

Thanks for the input everyone. I'll update if/when necessary.
