I thought i married the most amazing man. I thought he was the love of my life. Turns out, he was very good at masking who he truly was. He became a drunk, a liar, a cheater. Belittled next, verbally abused me, told me he wasn’t in love with me two weeks after marrying my daughter and i . Emotionally and mentally cheated with his co worker, confided in her about things we were going through and then spoke to her about wanting to fuck her. Gave her the illusion that something could come out of them talking. She was comfortable to ask about me, to ask if he told me he doesn’t love me. My heart feels heavy, but i know I’ve done what i needed to do for my daughter and i to get through this. The fear of starting over is beyond scary. But when someone you love and made a life commitment to, tells you that vows were just words, people get married and separate all the time, and that he could cheat in me (while he was) tomorrow, and i would still try a way to make our marriage work, what other option do you have? I choose me. I put me before you. I put setting an example for my daughter who is not his, to know self love, value and respect for herself. I put showing her it’s ok to be alone, and strive as hard as I can for her! Here’s to new beginnings, and happy endings. Most importantly , self love and peace! I thought it was forever, a home, a marriage, thought we’d try for a baby of our own, he looked me and the face and said he’ll never give me another child and that’s something i need to settle for. I choose me! It hurts like hell, i go through waves of emotions, but i will get through this. We got married in October, found out about the woman in November, and i have moved out and into my own place with my daughter and i as of February 1st! Ladies don’t ever settle for less than you deserve. Love yourself more! Just needed to share.
