Hi. I read mostly of your blog. Somehow I can relate to you since you have same experience with my best friend. I didn’t know how deep the pain it causes you. But I know in time that someday you’ll find forgiveness to your husband as what my friend did. I know it’s hard but by God’s grace you can. Both of them now are good friend they both have their family and the good thing is during the baptismal of my friends kid the husband lend her help to cook and I am happy to see both of them ended that well. Their children now accepted their fate. Its good thing that my friend did not deprive the right of his husband I hope that you too did not deprive it just for the sake of your kids.
Hi Amor! First of all, thanks for dropping by and for leaving me a message. One of the biggest hurdles was letting go. I have mourned the death of my marriage including my own idea of married life. As a filipina, alot of married women are identified with their husband or their marriage that it does take alot of soul searching and self assessment. Ultimately, I wanted my children to have some sense of normalcy.
Thank you very much for sharing your friend’s story with me. I am happy to know that they have gone over their differences.
Honestly, my situation was more complicated than I ever tried to share here, but that is the current challenge right now.
