How Many Strikes and They Were Out?
Had an interesting conversation with a girlfriend over cofee. She said to me that I should have given my ex another chance. (BTW This friend lives in la-la land). I think I had given my ex enough chances. I made excuses for him, and would constantly blame myself. ]
My mother-in-law once said to me, "I know how difficult my son can be, but you have to try harder". But there is only so much "trying" that one person can do before you feel as if you're going mad. My ex never made it to the proverbial "three strikes".
I had seen and experienced enough to know that if he hurt me the first and second time, it would very likely that he would hurt me the third time. Some people have implied that I was not willing to work on the marriage because I did not give him a third chance.
They believed his sincerity, but if he was sincere in making our marriage work is something we will never. At some point a person has to standup for themselves and stop being a doormat, and the sooner the better.
