Question

  Posted to group - new divorce    <<Previous    Next>>

I Finally told him, so why can't I stop crying?

Our relationship has been on the rocks feels like years his mom lived with us and she was my best friend like my mom, she passed away in june and my world fell apart.  I think she helped us out to make our marriage work. after she passed away I cheated on my husband not once but three times looking back I realize I did it so he would leave me. But he didn't he forgave me each time. Which made me feel worse here is good man that loves me and i am betraying him. I have gone to the motions of caring and loving him when i really have not felt that way about him for some time. I was too scared to just come out and tell him and that was making life at home miserable the stress the tension i became frustrated and irritated. He finally told me to be honest if I didn't want to be there to just tell him. Because it was obvious to him that i don't love him anymore and I don't want to be there.That I am only causing him more pain by prentending everthing is ok and making it harder on the kids and all our loves ones around us, so this time i didn't chickened out and I told him it was true. And I feel like a ton of bricks have been lifted off of me. But know i can't seem to stop crying I know it is for the best but its hard. I know that this is what I need to do but at this time it looks & feels so dark & alone is this normal? am I

Christina, you might have a more serious problem-please look at this site:

www.ischeatingamentaldisorder.com,

try to be honest with yourself-you might get help and to be happy again. Gte your husband to look at this as well-he night agree with this.
I also think that you need to learn how to communicate with each other more openly and how make this communication safe, meaning to be acceptive and supportive of each other.

Christina -- I admire your courage and strength to tell you husband the truth.  I wish I had the same courage.  Consider that you've told him something that he probably already knew to be true.  And now you can both deal with reality instead of hiding behind a cloud of fiction.  I am sure it hurts, the truth often does.  But I envy you for having the ton of bricks of a secret lifted off of you.

You made a hard gut wrenching choice and even though you know it's the right thing, it is going to hurt.

Divorce is hard. Regardless of whether it's a mutual choice, or you are leaver, or the leavee.

You were with this person for a long time. It is a grieving process. There are stages to it. Losing that person. That connection, or even the comfort level you shared.

You will have your good days and bad days.

And I've been grieving for the loss of my marriage for over a year and I can tell you eventually the good days will outnumber bad ones.

Chin up and welcome. Take some time to look around, I recently found this place, and I can't tell you how much it's helped me.

Christina,
i know exactly how you feel. I am in a situation where i don't feel love for my spouse and i am mentally withdrawn as well as physically with him and I don't even like to be around him. I have come to a point where i'd rather not be around him anymore. I just want to leave but i have christian beliefs and I feel it is wrong to leave and i should look to the higher power for answers. I know he may not answer our prayers our needs but he will in his time.  Life is not about what we want. We must live for God.  I am going through a trial in my marriage. Girl, I just want to runaway and leave but I know as a christian I will have to answer to God and I will pay for my consequences.  I have been divorced once before and I wasn't a christian at the time so leaving my first spouse i didn't feel as convicted to stay in the marriage but now i am married a 2nd time and as a christian  I am really thinking about it twice before i make a decision to step in the dark.  I know that there will definitely broken hearts. I cried for more than a year because of the 1st divorce, maybe more but I felt like I had to ask God for forgiveness and I did. It's a healing process that will take not 1 week or 2 months, it sometimes takes a few  years to mend a broken heart even if you don't feel that love right now you did.  Love is not a feeling, it isn't an emotion and it isn't physical attraction. Love is action, committment, long suffering and Persistence.  If your love is gone, it can come back if you both work on it. I know it might be hard but god didn't say that marriage was going to be easy.
