I am almost eighteen years old, so by age I am considered almost through with the intimacy versus isolation stage. However, I have felt like I have had a conclusion to this stage for some time now. In this stage, there are two parts: occupation and relationship. Success in this stage will let me obtain the virtue of fidelity, not only to others but myself as well.

This cheating was far worse than the one before, since he had left me for a girl with a fiancé in the army. However, I feel like I handled this break up far better than the previous one even though the break up was worse. I am now with another guy, and he has his future figured out like me.

So far he has been faithful, but I guess we will see how that
