I just got out of a long emotional affair. I proposed and everything.
It did not end well. The story itself is remarkable and highly entertaining. The source of all of my wealth, too.
How do I explain this to whoever I start to date/become newly intimate with? I feel like they will always feel insecure about it. Or is it all in my head? It was my first serious relationship but it's not even about that, it's about my work. Which would then become our work (new eventual partner).
I feel like I am not making as much sense so I will TL:DR this with a simple run down.
TL:DR:
- I was in a serious emotional/professional affair
- it changed my life and gave me a vast amount of wealth that I will inevitably share
- I proposed to the old relationship, it was that serious.
- clearly didn't work out (boo hoo, whatever)
How do I explain this to new partner? I have NEVER had anything to EVER hide and I feel like this would be one of those things that I feel inclined to keep secret but it's impossible and extremely unethical to do that.
New partner will be exceptionally pleased, even downright terrified from what I bring to the table (the responsibility that I carry).
What do you guys think? I'm otherwise very inexperienced. I feel naive. Stupid. Hi everyone.
I feel like I've been corrupted.
People get over serious relationships like this all of the time? Yuck! Sure beats dying.
