Suckiest of Suckies

Alright, so I figured I'd share my bad news I talked about in my previous post and just get it over with. It's hard to talk about, and I haven't shared it with everyone yet, not even those I work with (except Hayley, don't say anything). When I moved into my townhouse in West Jordan, my husband, Matt, did not move with me. We're separated right now, and I'm not so sure he'll ever be living with me again. He hasn't really been treating me the way I should and deserve to be treated. It's hard to talk about, and makes me cry anytime I bring it up. Things have happened that are not acceptable, and I'm unsure if they will ever be fixed.

Some days I like to think things could be perfect, and I could have a marriage like I hear everyone else talking about. I want children so much it hurts at times, but I know the circumstances are not so great right now. It does help to spend time with my adorable niece and nephew and feel their love for me. I'm trying to stay positive and keep my mine occupied as often as I can just to survive. I'll update more later.

So sorry Mel. You deserve to be treated nicely. I hope everything works out for the best. I will pray for you too.:)

Ah, Mel, I'm sorry too. I'm glad that you see you do deserve to be treated better than you have been. Maybe this will be a time you can really think things through and make some good decisions - -we'll pray too!

Kristi said...

I'm so sorry too, Mel. And I am glad you are doing what's best and right for you. You really do deserve to be treated right and I will definitely have you in my prayers as well. Take care of yourself. XOXO

That is horrible news, my heart goes out to you. I'm glad you won't put up with being treated badly. You really deserve to be treated like the incredible girl you are, don't worry that will happen for you.

mel - i know this is hard for you. but i think you're doing the right thing. i think you should move forward & not look back. learn from mistakes you've made, not just blame him. and - keep your chin up, it'll get better. time is a wonderful healer!

Mel said...

Thanks for all the encouragement girls! What great friends I have. I definitely don't blame him for everything, I've made mistakes of my own and I know what and how I will do things differently. I do know that I've never pretended to be someone I'm not. People can't always be what they want and hope to be. I'm still the same girl he dated. Both people in a marriage need to be willing to improve and fix problems or mistakes together, not always just one person running frantically to put bandaids on everything. I know what my priorities are and I'm willing to do what I need to make those things happen.
