It\u2019s hard to let go of something when you don\u2019t see any\nother choice in your life. When you love someone so much to be without them is\nunthinkable. There is nothing else to live for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is how I felt when Michael walked out on me. I didn\u2019t\nknow that he had been playing me, that he had other women, that all his talk\nhad been nothing but lies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
It took months for me to find out everything. I didn\u2019t\nbelieve any of it at first but soon I had to realise that our life together was\nfalse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did the usual grieving that people do when their heart is\nbroken. I went to my bed and stayed there, didn\u2019t eat or shower, not a good\nlook at all. After about a month of wallowing, and having lots of ice cream and\nwine delivered, and rediscovering my self-respect regards showering I\nresurfaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then he came back to me, seems he had been given a taste of\nhis own medicine and the woman he left me for decided he wasn\u2019t worth it. I\nagreed totally with her and told him to take a hike, or words to that effect. So now I am ready to pick up\nmy life again, wounded but not broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I luckily have my friends and family who stood by me until I\nsaw the light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am stronger, wiser and thankful that we were not married\nas we had planned. I never have to see him again but he has ruined my sense of\ntrust which I am sad about as I may not know what love is but I don\u2019t want to\nbe a cynical person because I think that is sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have to believe that there is someone out there for me.\nSomeone I can learn to trust, who I will love and will love me in return.\nSomeone who is honest and faithful then perhaps I can start again. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
