I know that as we get older, people don't hit on each other, they plant little seeds. I saw the cheating man frequently and he would say all the right things, get very close to me and stand over me in a way that turned me on.

I am not blaming anyone for my actions. But I think we need to have the difficult conversations to make relationships go the long haul.

I wish I told my ex that his rejection was making me want the arms of another man. I wish my ex told me that my frequent requests for sex made him feel that our future wasn't important.

We could have avoided so many problems and might even still be together. We had worked out so many kinks, but open, honest and immediate communication was not there.
