This is a battle my heart still goes through. Not because I have love left for my ex-spouse but because I have so much love for my family and the true meaning of marriage. I love the joy and comfort of someone who holds your heart and soul as if it were a precious, irreplaceable gem. I love the bond that marriage represents and the security it gives children. Marriage can represents the closest thing to the love of God we will feel this side of Heaven I am sure. Although I am often faced with the question of "why did you stay?" in an almost accusatory tone, as if I caused all the infidelities; the only answer I have is I loved my husband and I was given a glance of him, by the grace of God, to see him the way God saw him. Even after so many betrayals I still loved and it was hard fought to give up that love. I have come along way and can honestly say the love has gone but I still hurt and I still grieve. Through all this, though, I came across another blog post by a young woman who has bared her soul and the challenges of infidelity and divorce through her blog with a grace that I can only hope to have one day. I have learned so much from her. Please visit her post "How to Heal After Infidelity" and let her know where you found her: How to Heal After Infidelity. Make sure also, to share it with anyone who might be helped by her worlds.
Thank you for sharing! I'll read her blog also. I've "been there, done that" myself. My heart was broken and trust dissolved. (I've always had trust issues due to earlier events in my life.) When this happened to me, I was devastated, however it turned out to be A HUGE blessing ! I hope that you continue to heal, have confidence in yourself and experience true love again.
