I was in a relationship and I thought he was the one—I was totally, absolutely in love. I gave him five years to commit and he wouldn’t, and then I found out that in the last year he’d been cheating on me. That was seven years ago, and I’m wondering if I set up some pattern that stops me from finding love again. I have a lot to give but I’m afraid it will be taken away from me. Did I do something bad to my future prospects by attracting this person who hurt me?Seeking Dear Seeking Let me re-frame what you did to yourself: You avoided a mess. Congratulations! That “you” from years ago who thought “he was the one” has evolved into a much more multi-faceted and complex person. You were never cut out to be someone who was going to settle down early and get married and have a family, as others expected of you. You had too much to explore about your own talents and self, and too much to gain by being free and out in the world. You were meant for a more creative social set than whom you would have attracted with your ex. You will settle into a circle of artistic, worldly people. You did not harm your future prospects —all you did was clarify your own values and take the simplest route to a more fulfilling partnership. |

(Don’t we all want to be happy?) In the meantime, partnerships and romance raise a lot of questions..." Elissa Heyman
