Something interesting happened today.
I was on FB, and the man I was addicted to in 2014-2015 had posted on a thread one of my acquaintances had started.
It took me about three minutes to decide I had better block him. And I did it without looking around his profile; without reading my other acquaintance’s threads to look for stuff he posted.
A few years ago, I would have friended him, or at least followed him.
Not now. He played with my heart (and plays with other women’s hearts) and I now feel sorry for his wife. Also for this acquaintance of mine (if she’s involved with him.)
Maybe she can handle it. He just wants to play games, and I took it way too seriously. Maybe she can play games with him and not get burned.
Or, maybe she’s as bad as he is. There are things about her that I don’t trust. Maybe they deserve each other.
Not my problem. None of my business. I can protect myself from him (and my addiction.) I can choose to let her handle this however she sees fit. She’s a grownup; it’s not my job to take care of her.
I’m just going to stay on my side of the street, do what’s best for me, and let go.
