“I don’t know. He has been my safe haven since the day we met. I love him, and I can’t imagine being with anyone else. I can’t imagine not having him in my life. Yet, on the other hand, do I want to be in a relationship where I panic every time he goes out alone, scared in case he does again I would loathe myself if I became one of those jealous, needy, possessive girlfriends.”
“Gracie, you need to take some time and think everything over. Don’t make any rash decisions while you are upset. Ryland is a good man, and I am sure he regrets what he did, which doesn’t make it okay, but he does love you and would do anything for you. Deep down, you know all of this. Just make sure that, when you make your choice, you are thinking about yourself and what you need. Ryland should be an afterthought because you need to heal yourself before your relationship or it won’t work.”
