Trying to hold love together 

 I found this on another site.  It was posted there from somewhere else, but was not credited to the original author.  I think it really says what quite a few of us felt when our marriages ended.  I hope you find it valuable, too.

 

"A person trying to hold a love together rarely gets the credit for the bravery they show while their confidence is waning. There is no way to explain how difficult it is to be in love with someone who suddenly does not love you back; who changed one day while you weren't looking yet continued to act ‘in love” and lead you on for no other reason than their own fear of being alone. There is nothing that can help when someone breaks the faith with you in such a cruel way, just understand that it was nothing you did or failed to do. Hard though it seems to believe, life gets better and you will, eventually, find the strength to be loved again."

good post.  fits right in with my new outlook on things, and the true joy i have been feeling recently.  in divorce care, a few weeks ago we had the class on forgiveness.   arghhh.  i thought no way, i want to see gods wrath on her instead.    but then while we talked about it i was informed that i didn't have to actually forgive her person to person, but to just hand it to god, and release it.  well i said ok to that.  i had to do it every day for about 3 weeks straight, for every day the anger would pop back, i would apologize to god and give it back to him.  a few days ago, it finally stuck.  it is freeing.  every day seems to get better and better.  i hope your days are getting better and better aswell.
