Hehe yeah, it of course didn’t feel great at the time. But at the time it was a bit of a surprise that I didn’t sound like a normal human on the phone. I never did feel comfortable on the phone and would avoid it when possible. But I didn’t know it sucked for the other person too, lol. I have since gotten better, but still don’t like it on my end. But yeah, for other neuro divergents, we can talk for hours.
It’d be nice to line up his quotes on the subject in chronological order, since it seems like the last one would be about how his infidelities were his biggest failings in life. People say a lot of stuff to rationalize their behaviour while they are still doing it. But with time and space, can put together that the problem wasn’t that other people “chose” to feel hurt about it. They will always be hurt if it came by surprise and you didn’t have consent first. Hell, even in proper polygamous relationships with as much consideration and communication as possible, it can be a challenge to not hurt anyone.
