A new relationship gone sour

I was getting frightened of her. She had seemed so nice at the beginning. Was she suffering from personal problems? I could understand that. I'm pretty broad-minded—I raised three daughters.

From then on, things were different. I listened to Megwind's advice but gradually I began not to trust her. It was a sad turn of events.

Collapse of trust is the beginning of the end in any relationship. She would give me her opinion, I would think it over, look at the empirical evidence, and make my own decision. Sometimes I went her way, sometimes not.

I could tell she hated this. There were a lot of long, heavy silences.
