Cass-

Hoping when you open your eyes again, all will be different is common in betrayed, beguiled Str8s.

I stayed frozen, unable to act in my own self interest for decades, knowing I was wasting my life for a GIDer with no more regard about consuming me than I had for a carrot on a salad tray. After we split, I still missed her!

I felt, but couldn’t understand what irrationally bound me to the dark, pointless situation I'd mistakenly stepped into.

8 years post-divorce now, I understand I had Trauma Bonding.

"Betrayal Bond” by Carnes ($5 from Amazon.com) helped me rediscover TGT betrayal isn't over just because they move out. On my 4th reading now.

Best – John
