I did it again 

Well today I made my self upset again.

16 years ago today I went out on the first of many dates with my unhusband. I can see everything as if it were happening now. We were so young and clueless (we were 17 and 18).

I tried all day not to think about it and kept pushing it to the back of my mind. But in a laps in thinking I decided to text him and tell him I missed him. All of My Love by Led Zeppllin was our song and I told him I was sending all of my love to him. Well I am sure many of you are shaking your heads and seeing the train wreck off in the distance. He blew me off.

I'm not really sure about what I expected to happen. Clearly rejection was going to be the outcome and thats exactly what I got with out a kiss to dull the sting.

I know he is cheating on me and I also know he is not the same person I went out with 16 years ago. If this were a friend, I would tell her she is better off without him. Rationally speaking, I know I will be ok. But at this moment emotionally, I have a hard time seeing how I will survive this. He was everything to me. I built my life around him and now he is gone. I was never even given the chance to make things right.

I guess I can't understand how he has been able to just throw away 16 years, without even a second glance. I wish I could be that cold and heartless. But alas I'm an emotional Scorpio and I don't know how to turn my feelings off.  Somehow I did not get the on/off button when I was created. I would demand a refund if I could haha.

I know (or hope) in a few days I will be in a better place. I know I need to move on. As the song goes "Life is what you make it", I guess I made a different life from him and did not even realize it before it was to late.

It is hard to turn off your emotions. We too married very young, I was 17 and he was 18. I spnt our 30th anniversary alone. I sent him a card and he did not even acknowledge it. I called to wish him happy anniversary and he just chuckled. We are not yet divorced, but the end is in sight. It is hard to tell your heart that "I am not suposed to love him any more. He left  me for another woman and she now has the love that was mine. I like to think it was just nostalgia that let me to beleave that an anniversary card and call would make him miss what he left, but it matterd to him not one bit. This made me stronger and more certain that it is truely over and I have been trying to move on. There are still days when I am very sad that out marrage is over, but I am now trying to see this a a new beginning for me. My old life with him is over and I still mourn the loss of a 30 year marrage, but I now try to cellibrate the begining of a new life. I am not alone, I have my family and friends and also my new friends on this site. The mourning will lessen and the happiness will increase.

"...on/off button..." - A swift kick sometimes help a re-start but it may not help in the end...

I do feel for you in regards to doing some things that just are not as helpful and beyond your control... I am certain that most of us have been there to one extent or another...

Come here and post next time you have the urge, we may be able to help to some capacity or another...

I am in the same boat. It hasnt been this long and I just want to hear his voice so I call him about this or that or find some way to Tex him. I will always love him and he was actually a real moody,mean dependent man. I am better off without him but it still hurts. Everyday I pray for him and for myself to find inner peace. You will find it too.
