The indulgent self-pity was starved of oxygen, and it was replaced with the clean air of acceptance -- an acceptance that I did hurt this wonderful person standing next to me; an acceptance that I am part of a large and shockingly everyday grouping of men who have been sexually violent toward their partners.
Samosažaljenje kojem sam se prepustio ostalo je bez kisika i zamijenio ga je  čisti zrak prihvaćanja -- prihvaćanja činjenice da sam  povrijedio ovu divnu osobu pored mene; prihvaćanja da sam dio velike i svakidašnje skupine muškaraca koji su izložili  partnerice seksualnom nasilju.
