You wanna hear another great story of how much of a sucker I am? While Idan Bitton was making dates on our anniversary and doing lord knows what. I was thinking about how hard it would be for him to go live on his own here in NYC.

As a gesture to him, to let him know I support him, I noticed that he liked this particular wine at Iron Horse vinyards: 2003 T-bar-T Benchmark and bought a bottle.

As we stood at the vineyard, me thinking he was just “confused” and looking for some clarity in his life, not knowing he was cheating on me and being really duplicitous, I did this little thing I used to do to show affection to him; I would touch the top of his right ear, this time saying, “hey, I love you, and I want you to be happy, I am going to get us a bottle and we can toast your new place.”

In retrospect his silence was an indication of his duplicity. I should have observed this at the time, but as I have been told recently: do not be too self critical about this, you loved the man and you were doing the best you could to show that.
