Magic-

Thanks for this post. I have no advice, really, but I wanted you to know that you're not alone here. My girlfriend and I were in the same situation. She treated me like crap for the better part of a year (though she's not and addict or alcoholic). When we got back together we kept it a secret because I couldn't tell my friends/family about it -- they'd be pissed at me! It didn't work out. She broke my heart yet again. I'm not saying that you will do the same, I'm just telling you that you're not the only one out there in a secret relationship.

I'm totally heart broken and I know that it's my fault for going back for more abuse. Do you think she could be thinking like this? Maybe she's just trying to keep all options open due to the past history of the relationship? I don't know. Perhaps you should be honest with her and ask her to do the same.

Good luck to you, bro. I hope it all works out the way you want it to.
