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. 💪🏽
