I don't cry because I want him back, I cry because...

He send me a message yesterday about our plan to settle the things between us. It was hard for me to believe that these things are happening but I need to accept it. I thought I have already prepared myself about this but somehow, I find myself crying. I just wish things were different. When I look back, I realized that I have been crying for how many years now and I love to be free from all those pains. With all the pains and tears I've been through, I don't really like to win him back. I known that all these pains will heal at the right time. I just need to give myself a break. I'd rather focus my whole attention to my child rather than think of my husband who betrayed me over and over again. He doesn't deserve a tear.

i am sorry for the pain you are feeling but its okay to feel hurt and angry ,with matters of the heart you invest alot and when that is wounded it can hurt so bad.mourn over the loss,wasted time and all then restart your life stronger and take your time before jumping into a new relationship,your heart needs time.

right. Things are really easier said than done but if I'm not going to do it now, I'm just prolonging my agony. I'd rather do it now than regret it later right?. Thank you so much. You've all been a great help.

If he did it many times I think it's his choice to hurt you. Why he betrayed you many times if he still want you. Move forward, and move on. Don't waste your time to him. You will find somebody that deserve of your love.

I think i know what you mean in here, and I fully support you on this. I am happy for you that you are already firm with the decision that you are not accepting him in your life again. Yes it is true that this person is your husband but in reality he did not even think of you as his wife when he hurt you and destroyed your family. You are hurting now, but remember that you will be over it soon again, it takes time actually for this to heal, but be strong and know that you will forever be happier with the decision not to give him a chance to hurt you again. =)

Yes, he was selfish. He never cared. True, healing needs time and starting a new life would be easier by then.

Hi there RayneJasper! I am sorry to hear that. I know that it is easier said than done when one tells you to stay strong for your child. I am praying that you will be able to emerge from this experience as a stronger and wiser person. Do not forget to pray whenever you are feeling down and to spend time with people that you love and who loves you back, especially your child and your family. It is good that there will be a closure for the situation though, I believe it will help you to move on easier.

Yes, that's what I thought too. Having a closure between me and him would help me start all over again and have a new life. My daughter is enough inspiration for me to move on. Things won't be easy either but I'll give my best. I believe that God will help us as we continue our journey.

No he doesn't deserve a tear but you do. Crying is a good release and from what you said sounds like you have several years of frustration and betrayal to get out of your system. Think of it as cleansing yourself from all the pain and misery he put you through. Happy for you that you can refocus your life. It's not easy when you get used to having another person around, no matter how bad they treat you.

Right, crying would help me release all the pains I have. Anyway, crying doesn't mean I am defeated. It is a way of releasing everything and then gathering new strength to get on with life.

I understand how you feel, crying is a good way to release all the pains and stress that your experiencing right now. This is a very hard especially you have a child but you need to be strong for yourself and for your daughter. She might can not understand the full situation but she knew that's something is wrong in the family and she needs you most of the time. Crying and pains are only temporary when the wounds in your hearts are still fresh but sooner it will heal and you will happy again.

I just responded to your earlier discussion by knowing NOTHING about your earlier discussions and the background. Move upon with right decisions and as long as you are determined, I still tell you that go for a separation and ask him to give the compensation through the court of law and expenses for your child. Now-a-days, it is a fun for boys to do such things and they are really not understanding the pain of others. They really need to suffer from by doing such things and here in our place the women get adequate support and many people are giving compensation for the rest of life and on a monthly basis to the seprated women or if having children, they have to pay for it, if the case is genuine and proved as true and the women is innocent.

You are human, it is natural for you to cry when you are hurt. Don't hate yourself for it. Like you said, in time, you will feel better.

Hi Rayne ! You said it very correctly , 'he doesn't deserved a tear ! Dust off yourself then fly again. The sky is so wide , all of us have a space there ! Things happened because it wasn't really meant to be be. God took some people in your life because He planned someone best for you . Enough for those tears and pain because you deserved all the happiness and peace in this world. That is a real woman , knows how to rise after each fall , that's what matter most there ! Each of us have pieces of failures and this is but normal for us to grow a better person , because no such thing as mistakes in life but only lessons learnt ! Go for that goal , have owned life and focus and nurture your baby . The baby will be your guide in the road that you will be traveling ... Sail on !!!!!!!

Thank you so much. It is very relieving knowing that many people here are giving me strength to move on. Life has been really bad but I have learned great lessons that would help me live my life better and happier. One thing I learned with much importance is to let go and forgive. Because letting hatred and revenge rule over you imprisons you to a life full of vengeance and there will be no more happiness. Happiness is a choice and I chose it.
