No, you're totally right. My trust for him is always going to be tainted now, and I told him that and that's his problem. I don't like to sound like a jerk, but I kind of have him on a tight leash if you know what I mean. One slip up and I'm gone. I don't consider myself stuck no matter what. I have too many other people that care about me, and Eli would be fine without him. There's no such thing as stuck if you really care about getting out, IMO. Steve knows I'd be gone in an instant if he messed with me again. We've got a lot of faith in each other. I know it sounds impossible, and once a cheater always a cheater (my mom would say), but Steve is like a whole different person now, since all that happened and things really changed between us. Trust me though, it took a very very long time to let it all go. It's still there in the back of my mind too. It really hurt, you know. I don't think being young or immature or mixed up is an excuse for that kind of thing, but I do care enough about my son having a family to give someone I love a second chance. But there are no more chances after this, trust me. One thing and Eli and I are gone forever, so don't get me wrong about all that. I was telling the truth about Steve and I having an awesome relationship now though. We're like best friends most of the time. I'm totally happy.
So don't worry about me.
