Ok so I am planning on doing something crazy today. Today i am turning 25! i want this to me the mark of a new beginning for me. I hope that lne day, someone will be worth my tears.
I am at a park near a river. I have my wedding ring, a letter to husband (soon to be ex). It felt so good writing him a letter even tho he will never read it. I am sticking the ring and the note in a bottle and chucking it in the water. Sounds so stupid right? I know... But idk why I feel like this but it feels right.
I want to be happy. I don't want to need someone to make me happy. This person has shown me they have no soul or remorse for anything and I guess that wasn't the person for me.
I grew up in a home where both of my parents respected and loved each other. Yes they had their problems but separating was never an option. They worked hard and have achieved 26 years of marriage.
I want the same. I want someone to want to work when thins get hard. I've had a hard time wondering how could this man be so "ideal" and BOOM
switch into a nightmare. He was great because things were great, there were no real issues. BUT when things became hard.... He ran. And I have realized that marriage isn't about being together through the good, but it's being together through the bad too.
I am rambling, just because I am feeling a lot of mixed emotions.

However, I can see this making a great Nicky Sparks book, when prince charming finds it, does the due diligence to figure out who you are and return it.

MSgtD: I hope thats how my life turns out! like a Nicholas SParks story!
I am glad you were able to enjoy your day!
Crazy? Not at all. I absolutely love the symbolism...let it all go and may the waters take it and do with it what they will...
When my divorce is final, I am planning a small funeral pyre with my marriage certificate and a few other personal items. I believe in the strength of ritual to empower us. Of course, all strength comes from within but following through with something like this allows us to see and feel it...beautiful.
Good luck and best wishes for finding that happiness within...and thank you for sharing! :)
cool
It's comforting to know that it's not just my husband that runs away when the going gets tough. My husband and I have been having problems since Sept of last year, and rather than working things out, he decided to end our marriage and moved out a few days ago. I am beyond devastated and completely confused. I feel like you do wondering how a once-ideal-man could change so drastically when faced with common family challenges. He believes that it is time to be free and non-committed and in turn have less responsibility and stress. Talk about being selfish. I guess it's his prerogative, but if that's how he felt, he should have never married me. The sad part, is that I still love him and miss him. Hopefully, those feelings will end soon.
I know I'm late but happy birthday! I wish you strength during the hard times.
Anyway, I'm here to tell you that you CAN achieve that. You are getting a do over or second chance. Take what you've learned from this and build on it. I won't lie and say you won't mourn the loss ever again, just saying you can be an over-comer. (((HUGS)))
