I am really sorry that you are going through this. I will be married 20 years this June, and one thing that I have just come to realize with relationships is that they require more than just love to survive. Relationships are hard work requiring lots of open, honest and hard conversations, but it can't be one-sided. Both need to be active participants, and if this doesn't happen, it makes it extremely difficult to move forward as a couple. For my situation, love is the only reason my marriage has survived for this long. We never argued one time in the 23 years that we have been together. On the outside, it looks like we have the "perfect" marriage, but, in reality, we have a marriage that was just barley surviving because we have never had an emotional talk. We never had an open conversation about anything difficult or hurtful or honest. We would lie to each other just to try and stay away from the hard conversations. Holding things back caused things for me to be even more hurtful. It caused me to internalize every emotion which made my life miserable. What I learned from being hurt in my marriage was that I didn't love myself anymore. I was so wrapped up trying to love my wife harder that I lost myself. Imagine 20 years of losing yourself and your identity. Trying so hard to make my marriage work took a serious toll on my mental, physical, and emotional health. Once I asked myself why I was staying, I realized that I was staying for the wrong reasons. I began to take care of my physical wellbeing. I began talking to a therapist. I began to love myself again. But I had to do these things while realizing that my marriage is probably over, and I have come to terms with that. So I know that things are hard for you right now, and it isn't going to get any better anytime soon. But you have to start loving yourself first. Do things that you loved to do before you met him. Be in nature with the sun shining on you. Try to start smiling more even when it's difficult. You WILL get through this, but it's just going to take time. Anytime you need to get something off your chest, just message the group. This is why Des started the Soul Tribe, and this is why we are all here.
