I'm not going to pretend that this whole thing doesn't suck. It really does. But there is an upside. Since he told me about his addiction, we have been so much more open. I guess since he told me his deepest darkest secret, there's no point in hiding anything else. It's always been easy talking to each other, but now it's so much easier. There really is nothing between us. So as it turns out there is a silver lining to this dark black storm cloud in our lives. And I know that with this new trust and communication we will be able to get through this.
