IT's interesting that you say this Doc:
"He must live the rest of his life as an open book, always open to inspection.
He must expect to be making things right until..... In other words, for as long as it takes and this may very well be the rest of his life. On the flip side of the situation, if a man was cheated on, recovery may also be problematical and difficult to achieve. How each perceives the damage to their relationship is different."
It seems like to me that I always have to overcome this from day one without ever having done anything. It gets tiresome when one is innocent.
I suppose I'm understanding things a bit better.
What is this emotional bond thing you're talking about? I don't quite get that? Is it like having shared old times in the canoe fishing and all the ones that got away? Also this intimacy and connection business? What is that? It's not like a connection to work with a regular paycheque is it? Or is it like the bond with Mom (gotta love Mom! She's the greatest!)? Even though Mom's can be a pain in the ass (yes, mother I can drive however I like now and go out without my coat if I want God Dangit!), you always love mom. Dad, eh, not so much...
Is this the bond you're talking about, or something similar? I don't think I can have that bond with any woman. Women in my experience, are too threatening, too capricious and too dangerous to my well being to permit myself to be so vulnerable to such a creature. Bonding with them in the manner you speak of sounds like bonding with a ticking time bomb which I will inevitably set off sooner or later and blow myself to pieces. That's stupidity. But I digress into the pettiness of my experience.
Again, this bond thing, I do not understand. Is is akin to, in kind if not identical (yeah I get that), to the bond to one's mother?
A curious mind wants to know...
