I Am Stronger Because of All I've Been Through

Tonight I'm not feeling strong. I'm feeling weak and scared. I can't stop crying. I'm usually positive, optimistic and not one to wallow... but, I guess being human I'm allowed to feel this way once in a while.

My husband and I are separated. Currently living in the same house but I need to just get the divorce and move apart. He has a new girlfriend and it is ripping me apart. It's not so much that I want him back but the fact he moved on so quickly. Like the past 22 years with me meant nothing...

Everyone says I will be okay. Most days I believe it... tonight I'm struggling.

One day, some man will see my worth and treasure me. I've always given more than I've gotten. Just once I want to feel what it's like to get that in return...

I'm so sorry you are enduring this. It will get better. My ex already had a boyfriend before she moved out. So moral expectations of some people appear to be quite low. Learn from this experience. Being a giver doesn't mean giving away yourself. Hugs! 馃

Did they end up staying together?

@TenderHeart: they got married two months later. He divorced her a while later and took a lot of her money. Karma is real..
