“I
don’t want to be with you anymore.”
Those words echo off
into the distance as if it were some type of dream. Instantly your mind wonders
back to the time they you first met him. Everything seems so vivid, so real.
You remember everything about that day….that perfect day. The feeling you
felt….that forever feeling…that this is “the one” feeling….that feeling that
you thought would never go away. …
“Did
you hear me….I said I want a divorce.”
You think about the
first signs that something just wasn’t right. You notice he’s wearing his
clothes a little differently. He’s breaking lunch dates; he’s coming home later
than normal. You brush it off; chop it up to female insecurities. That is until
you get that phone call that confirms the sinking feeling in the pit of your
stomach all along…
“You’ve
changed. And I think it’s time for us to move on.”
He has shown you his
full blown true colors. After catching him yet again, you take him back, enabling
his behavior unknowingly. He knows you won’t leave….so do you. You have become dependent
on him. So much so that you have gotten use to the dysfunction.
“I
love someone else.”
He’s not even trying to
hide it anymore, he has done everything but openly admit he is cheating on you.
He has done everything possible thing a man can do to a woman. He has violated
you. Put his hands on you, left you home alone for days at a time. No phone
calls, no nothing. He comes home as if nothing has happened. You let him
because you are just tired of fighting about the same things. You have grown to
accept the situation for what it is.
*Door
Slams*
He’s gone….and you
realize that you allowed him to treat you as second best to everything else
that comes in his life. He was your husband when he felt like playing the role.
Today was the day that he decided he was done playing with you. He sucked the
very life out of you leaving nothing but the shattered pieces of a broken heart
just laying there….useless….
*Then
there was silence*
