Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
I have come to realize, there really is no happy endings. All those fairy tales I read and dreamed and believed in are not real or true. They fill your head with an ideal that can never be reached. They give you a false sense of reality and security, there are only endings. And they are not happy. I tried to end my marriage without any hard feelings, since we have children and will be in each others life. But that isn't going to happen because he cannot understand not only do I not love him anymore, I don't really like him. I don't like that he smokes, I don't like how he acts, I don't even like how speaks to me and this has led to...no happily ever after.
Chronic dissapointment.
We can't expect others to be what we want them to be instead of who they truly are.
Because even if they try, they'll end up resenting you.
I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped.
(Fritz Perls, "Gestalt Therapy Verbatim", 1969
