Guilt

Submitted by kasi on Thu, 2008-01-03 19:11.
I'm having difficulty with guilt.  I got involved with a man that I like very much. I didn't take his sex addiction seriously. I know that it is his problem and there is nothing I can do about it, but he broke sobriety with me and I feel some guilt because of it. I know that he is not in a position to assauge that guilt.  I hope he finds his way clear to be able to talk with me again and to find a path to friendship.

I realized today that while I felt guilty over this situation, that my main area of concern is that I violated my own sacred space and beliefs. This man does not hold me responsible for not being able to keep his own established boundaries. However, I realized that I did not listen and honor his program either. Since we are not married, a friend asked as have others, why I am not running from this situation. The simple answer is that I need to address my own issues and boundaries to not repeat this situation again. I need to develop my own strength and be able to maintain my own balance regardless of what is in front of me.
