CHOOSING ME OVER THE PAIN❤

Finding out my husband was cheating—reaching out to men on gay dating sites—broke something in me. It wasn’t just the betrayal. It was the lies, the confusion, the way it made me question my worth and everything I thought was real.

For a while, I went looking for comfort in the same way—online, hoping to fill the emptiness. But what I learned is this: love that comes from pain doesn’t heal pain.

So I stopped chasing what I thought I needed, and started choosing me. I’m not pretending everything’s fine. But I am done letting someone else’s choices steal my peace.

I’m still here. I’m still standing. And even under these circumstances, I’m finding my own version of happiness. On my terms. In my time. 💪🏽

Went through a similar situation. Divorced now. Finding the things that I could have done. All the ways I could have avoided certain things.The signs that I missed or ignored. Those things made me feel empowered. We are not just helpless and at the mercy of other people's intentions for us. There are things we can do and pay attention to to safeguard our hearts from people like this. It also made me have trust issues because I'd you can be with and love someone for that long who lies and hides something so big...can anyone be trusted. But in the end I'm trying to remember to Trust God.
