The story

I am scared to feel any type of romantic connection now.

My parents have been married for 30 years and my dad cheated on my mom recently…. And he did it constantly. And every time it was us, the kids, who saw it and called him out. Now I doubt him all the time, I can’t look at him in the eye anymore, I don’t even harbour any familial feelings for him as he swore on us that he wouldn’t do it again and when we asked him to choose he was hesitating.

I doubt every one now. Just like every other person I also wanted to fall in love and get married someday but now I’m so scared that the same thing will happen to me too.

I just wish he never broke our trust.

man, that's so rough; watching someone who's supposed to set an example just wrecks your faith in love like that…

does anyone else wonder why he hesitated?
