Longing

5 years ago. August 10, 2019 at 2:09 AM

Rambling before my head spins off.

Yesterday my husband left me. He's been threatening it for 3 months, leaving, acting 19 again. For the past 11 years he has been so sure of us and "forever" , so sure it made me sure. We met when I was 16....I am now 35, it has been a rocky, volatile relationship at times but I honestly believed we would be together until we died. He is amazing and awful, impossible to describe without droning on endlessly.

We have both done...errr, lots of wrong, my mental health issues don't help and his temper is..terrifying at times. 

So I'm sitting here wondering how 3 months can change so much. I stopped recognizing him, his words painful, his actions unbearable and still I sobbed and I begged him to stay over and over feeling pathetic as I did. 

Why didn't I beg yesterday? Would he still be here? I guess I've grown tired. I guess I've become numb to the threats. I want to sleep forever. I want to hurt him or hurt myself to hurt him. I'm becoming unhinged.

When I picture him with someone else the world starts to shake. He was my best friend, my only friend really. I'm not sure I will ever connect with anyone again...and fairly certain they wouldn't want me anyway.That's not self pity, it just is. 

Loneliness is ...hard.

Litlegrl​(sub female){Dragon11} - I know how hard loneliness is. Especially when the man you love is no longer with you. It can feel all encompassing. But I feel I need to say a few things.
Forgive me, but if his temper is terrifying at times, it may be better things ended. I obviously don't know your situation, but when you become terrified of your spouse, that isn't healthy. When his words became painful and actions unbearable, in my opinion those are signs to leave. I know how hard that is, I had to leave my ex to protect my kids, but changes like that aren't safe.
Please know, you may feel lonely, but you are NOT alone. If you want to talk, please let me know. But know you will get through this and the pain gets lighter each day.

cerulean​(switch female) - Loneliness is hard, sweetie. I'm sorry to read this and know the pain you are going through. I can relate to much of what you've written. It takes two too maintain a relationship though. His leaving does not make you lesser. You are still deserving of love and affection, acceptance and understanding and a best friend/mate who sees you and makes you feel safe. The darkness is hard at times. Mental health issues are a genuine struggle. But you are worth the struggle and you are worthy of goodness and love. My prayers are with you <3
