“You can probably think of one man that stands out the most in this sense. Probably it is the ex that made you interested to read this book. This man most likely changed the way you think more than anyone else has. Or maybe he affected you emotionally more than any other man – that is, he made you feel more deeply than any other man did. While you kept other men at a distance (either due to a lack of attraction or a lack of trust), you were attracted to him and felt comfortable with him, and therefore allowed him into your life. You opened yourself to him and received him, allowing him to affect your thoughts, emotions, and even your actions. He caused you to think in ways you’d never thought before, feel in ways you’d never felt before, do things you’d never done before, or go places you’d never gone before.”
