Re: [UUPoly-L] Dealing with Others

[Trisha LeChat <giselle-trisha@hotmail.com>]

You certainly are not boring me to death, I welcome these stories especially since they mirror my own and help me to deal with this transition.  I fell in love with a man who loves his wife and me, and whose wife happily nurtures our relationship and sees it as a very positive thing.  It is really very beautiful, and we are happy together, but there are days when I feel like it would be easier to put myself out in a field and let everyone whip me than it would to hear the constant criticism, doubts, and negativity regarding this couple and my new life.  Ultimately I am following my heart and doing what feels right to me, and I know that it may result in the loss of some of the relationships I have had in my life.
