Letting go

Today, I asked my husband for a separation.

I have tried. I have fought for this marriage, but I can no longer fight for something that only I seem to value. I have spent too long begging for my place in his life, accepting crumbs while his baby mama and children receive the best of him.

I deserve to be loved, respected, and chosen without having to compete for my husband’s attention and affection.

So today, it ends. I choose me.

This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. I’m a mess. I’m miserable. I’m shattered. My heart is broken, and I know the road ahead won’t be easy.

But despite the pain, despite the tears, despite everything…

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I’m done.

It's a brave decision you made and I'm glad you're putting your needs first. At least you can say you tried and gave it your all.

I wish you all the luck in your healing journey and I wonder if after it's too late, you'll finally be seen and valued for the loving person that you are.

Take care of yourself. I hope you have people to lean on and support you :)

@mrsklaas Aw, it won't always feel like that. Just be however you need to be and the 7 cups folks have your back :)
