Violation of Trust

I have nothing to hide and I won’t change who I am for anyone.  Recently, an old friend told me because of his horrible divorce years earlier, he can’t trust a woman enough to open himself up. 

Yes, divorce is painful and emotional, but I’d rather be hurt and disappointed by someone, then lose my faith and become bitter and distrusting of everyone.

So, keep checking up on me or obsessing about my every move if it gives you some measure of security.  I’m not going to give up, I’m not going to change, and I’m still going to approach life and relationships with an open heart.  I’ll probably be disappointed again, but my satisfaction comes from knowing it will pay off eventually.  Someday, I’ll be loved and respected by someone secure enough in themselves to give an honest relationship a try.
