What you did doesn't make you a bad person, but on the other hand he might be re-examining things vis-a-vis you (eg if I can't trust her to keep a confidence what else can't I trust her not to do) just as many of the posters are dismissing him if he can't get past it. You and he will either work it out or you won't. Hopefully you didn't out the fact that he voted for Obama and he works for the Republican National Committee or something equally as dire and it all works out in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031187.post-13510334183791300982009-01-12T21:50:00.000-05:002009-01-12T21:50:00.000-05:00Oh, I really like that last comment.

Mature adults work through problems like this and come out better and stronger on the other side. Lessons learned, apologies accepted and on we go. If he's not one to forgive the small things, he surely won't be one to stick with you through the big things. Perhaps the lesson learned is that he still has lots of heavy baggage he's dealing with and you deserve someone more stable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031187.post-21197182394627584182009-01-12T13:34:00.000-05:002009-01-12T13:34:00.000-05:00Oh for goodness sake, everyone makes mistakes from...Oh for goodness sake, everyone makes mistakes from time to time, if he is willing to throw it all away for one silly drunken error then he needs to get a grip!

I don't know what confidence you betrayed and how FWB discovered this, but hopefully his anger and disappointment will lessen with time. If not, there is nothing you can do except perhaps try to understand why you did what you did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
