    I have tears in my eyes commenting this video. I’m in the middle of a divorce after an emotional rollercoaster so similar to yours. There were dark days and the only thing holding me here was the love for my family. Seeing you fulfilled, happy and grateful about how your life turned out, fills my heart with hope of a better future for me, too. The message you posted here is powerful, thank you so much for that ❤️

You are stronger than you know and so incredibly and fiercely loved by God, don't ever forget it. xoxox

    It's interesting when you said things got better for a short time but then went back to the way it was. This was my experience with my ex husband. He would act like he cared and heard me for maybe a week or so but deep down he was just masking to make me feel comfortable. He didn't think I would leave...and I'm so glad I did. He's a covert narccicist.

      Love bombing you for a week or two and then things go right back to where they were! They just want to appease you and in your head you're really thinking this time I know he's really going to change we know how that works right? Basically with that is really about is biggest want to smooth things over because you know how forgiving you are because we're always saying I understand I know you're going through a rough time I love you so much... They eat that shit up! How many times have you said to yourself here we go again!!!

    This video helped so much when I first watched it and I have come back to say Thank You. Thank you so much and I really REALLY think you need to speak to groups of people and share your story. It is so genuine and from your heart. I can’t thank you enough!

      I'm a year 1/2 post-divorce and I feel that things are worse now than what they were before my divorce. I struggle every single day and can't seem to find the closure to my marriage and to move on. Everyday I think about my past and my life when I had a family. I feel like no one understands. Everyone tells me to move on but I just can't. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I pray all the time that things will somehow get better ~ that one day I'll be happy again. 😞

    I've been going through all these things after my husband of 35 yrs told me he wanted his freedom. I was more than devastated & I thought of ending it many times & still do off & on. I still love him so deeply & I just can't accept the fact that he's doing this.
    Thank you so much for your story; I definitely identify with you. But my husband was never abusive in any way. I never ever saw this coming. I'm still in shock over it all & still in a tremendous amount of pain. But thank you again. I really appreciate you telling your story.

After 3 moths, I am still dealing with the detachment process, blame, resentment and some regrets.

    I am going through the same, my wife said she wanted a divorce and went through with it in a period of 2 months. I tried everything, seeking help together, trying to make it work, restore it. Change my attitude, ask for forgiveness, for my attitude, behaviour and mistakes. She did not want to try anything. I am feeling so lonely and rejected. We have 3 kids, I moved to Europe for her and now I am all alone, no close friends or family. I am trusting God for a miracle. I do not know what to do 😢

    Going through something similar. I’m on the guys end though. I was such a shity man when I met her and I could be such a good boyfriend but I would slip up and hurt her so often.. I couldn’t emotionally grow up. If I felt like she was in a bad mood it out me in a worse one. If I felt like she was being mean I would try to be even meaner. It’s hard when your compulsive and can’t control how you feel and communicate. I’m starting to change.. I seeked counseling, I’ve worked on my communication, I’ve worked harder on my goals.. unfortunately my marriage is over and even though I tried to change and prove that I could change; she had already moved on, she said she’s happy, and for me to move on. I’ve tried so hard to make this work and to improve for her and myself and it just didn’t work.. I’m having a hard time being on my own.. opportunity, growth, and passion are only worth it when it’s with someone you love.. I hope men out there realize that your wife’s emotions and feelings do matter.. maybe that dream you had doesn’t matter.. maybe your marriage is the best and biggest thing In your life and you just need to realize it..

    I have also gotten to a point of just ending it all but the love of my family and friends kept me.
    Many of these people who hurt you so deeply are damaged and demonic.
    They thrive on chaos and deceit. I believe in God, He is real I know that. I have just not experienced him in my dark times but now I know He is very present.

      @izzyoda it's been a horrible 6 months.. we're friends now and hang out with our kids, have dinner every few nights together but this time apart has showed me I don't want to fix things.

      @Buck_Maize it's been a month since my breakup of 10 years feeling low at the moment. Are u still having those thoughts ?

    • @buck_maize111
      @buck_maize111 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @izzyoda I was having those thoughts daily for the first 2 -3 months.. then as I met other ppl it helped take my mind off her and everything.. ppl tried telling me it'll get easier but I didn't believe them. It does get easier.. and sometimes it'll get harder.. but overall there will be a point where you don't feel hurt and those suicidal thoughts become fewer and fewer.
      Feel free to contact me if u need any help.

    I still value marriage very much, but know that God does not want anyone living in an abusive relationship. It does feel as if it will never end when you are in the midst of it so you have to do what I felt the Holy Spirit tell me, “ step out of the dance” and begin to really see things as they are, not how you wish they were.

    Thank you so much for sharing... You are such an inspiration and I found great comfort and encouragement in your story. I'm going through a divorce right now and my story is very similar to yours... I was a virgin and devout Christian when I married my husband at 31... Thought I found the love of my life and didn't believe in divorce or understand abuse at the time... We've been together 10 years and have two small kids and he has been verbally and emotionally and a few times physically abusive with me... But it was very subtle at first and grew more and more over the years... It's been hard because there were seasons where I truly thought he was progressing and changing but it's been a vicious cycle. I'm grieving because I'm now 41 with a 5-year-old and a 3 year old and I never thought I would be a single mother. On one hand I'm grieving the loss of a dream and a person I thought I knew... On the other hand I'm hopeful and relieved to be moving on to a new chapter I trust that God has great plans in store for us. Again thank you for sharing and being transparent:)

My ex and I have had a toxic on off relationship over a 5 year period. He always leaves. I always take him back like a dumb ass. We moved in with eachother 3 months ago. He left last weekend. He chose to end the relationship yet again. He threw a drink in my face. He got abusive and nasty. I seen him today for the first time since last week.
