Why #METOO May Be the End of My Relationship
It’s Not Funny. It’s Not a Joke.
I have been in a relationship with the same man for almost 9 years. During those years, I have learned a lot about him, that I respect, and he knows me well enough to know I came with my own baggage. I store my baggage in a tightly sealed closet and it rarely comes out.
The #METOO Movement, opened a few closet doors, being a trigger that has given me strength. It has given me hope, and it has given me a sense of “normal”.
The Kavanaugh vs. Ford fiasco has been chronically “in our face” as a POLITICAL ISSUE for the past week, causing ripples, (actually a tidal wave) in our relationship.
He is backing Kavanaugh in his battle against Ford, stating that the man is innocent, and Christine Blasey Ford is just trying to end his political career.
We are BOTH entitled to our opinions, and I would prefer to let it be just that; OPINIONS. I believe that if Mr. Kavanaugh is guilty, or not guilty, he needs to go through the process, just like Ms. Ford is.
Whatever happened between the two, has forced Ms. Ford to cry during her statement, in front of millions of viewers. It has forced her to re-live trauma that he may (or may not) have inflicted on her. His response is that he is NOT GUILTY. Fair…
