    I have tears in my eyes commenting this video. I’m in the middle of a divorce after an emotional rollercoaster so similar to yours. There were dark days and the only thing holding me here was the love for my family. Seeing you fulfilled, happy and grateful about how your life turned out, fills my heart with hope of a better future for me, too. The message you posted here is powerful, thank you so much for that ❤️

    It's interesting when you said things got better for a short time but then went back to the way it was. This was my experience with my ex husband. He would act like he cared and heard me for maybe a week or so but deep down he was just masking to make me feel comfortable. He didn't think I would leave...and I'm so glad I did. He's a covert narccicist.

      Love bombing you for a week or two and then things go right back to where they were! They just want to appease you and in your head you're really thinking this time I know he's really going to change we know how that works right? Basically with that is really about is biggest want to smooth things over because you know how forgiving you are because we're always saying I understand I know you're going through a rough time I love you so much... They eat that shit up! How many times have you said to yourself here we go again!!!

I struggle every single day and can't seem to find the closure to my marriage and to move on. Everyday I think about my past and my life when I had a family. I feel like no one understands. Everyone tells me to move on but I just can't. I don't know what tomorrow will bring but I pray all the time that things will somehow get better ~ that one day I'll be happy again. 😞

    Wow!
    This is what I need, my husband moved out a week ago after making my life a living hell with mind games and manipulation. He was out to destroy me with the things his done.
    I have also gotten to a point of just ending it all but the love of my family and friends kept me.
    Many of these people who hurt you so deeply are damaged and demonic.
    They thrive on chaos and deceit. I believe in God, He is real I know that. I have just not experienced him in my dark times but now I know He is very present.
    I pray that my story will be as wonderful as yours.
    God bless you and everyone here who have been to the depts of despair like I have.

    Thank you so much for your story; I definitely identify with you. But my husband was never abusive in any way. I never ever saw this coming. I'm still in shock over it all & still in a tremendous amount of pain. But thank you again. I really appreciate you telling your story.

    I'm going through this right now.. my wife, best friend and absolute love of my life for 11 years.. since 2011..left me 3 weeks ago.. I wake up every morning thinking of how I can end my life.. I don't want to live without her.. I can't bare this pain I feel.. 😫

      Hey, I was just wondering how are things now that time has passed any updates

    • @buck_maize111
      @buck_maize111 Год назад +1

      @izzyoda it's been a horrible 6 months.. we're friends now and hang out with our kids, have dinner every few nights together but this time apart has showed me I don't want to fix things.

    • @izzyoda7867
      @izzyoda7867 Год назад

      @Buck_Maize it's been a month since my breakup of 10 years feeling low at the moment. Are u still having those thoughts ?

    • @buck_maize111
      @buck_maize111 Год назад +1

      @izzyoda I was having those thoughts daily for the first 2 -3 months.. then as I met other ppl it helped take my mind off her and everything.. ppl tried telling me it'll get easier but I didn't believe them. It does get easier.. and sometimes it'll get harder.. but overall there will be a point where you don't feel hurt and those suicidal thoughts become fewer and fewer.
      Feel free to contact me if u need any help.

    Going through something similar. I’m on the guys end though. I was such a shity man when I met her and I could be such a good boyfriend but I would slip up and hurt her so often.. I couldn’t emotionally grow up. If I felt like she was in a bad mood it out me in a worse one. If I felt like she was being mean I would try to be even meaner. It’s hard when your compulsive and can’t control how you feel and communicate. I’m starting to change.. I seeked counseling, I’ve worked on my communication, I’ve worked harder on my goals.. unfortunately my marriage is over and even though I tried to change and prove that I could change; she had already moved on, she said she’s happy, and for me to move on. I’ve tried so hard to make this work and to improve for her and myself and it just didn’t work.. I’m having a hard time being on my own.. opportunity, growth, and passion are only worth it when it’s with someone you love.. I hope men out there realize that your wife’s emotions and feelings do matter.. maybe that dream you had doesn’t matter.. maybe your marriage is the best and biggest thing In your life and you just need to realize it..

    I'm in the same situation right now. Complete darkness, depression, I was never broken so much in my life. Thoughts of no escape, marriage for life and nothing else. I truly thank you for this testimony. Still wrestling about things about remarriage - if God will allow me through His grace be in healthy and fulfilling partnership approved by Him or of I need to stay single for the rest of my life. Please pray for me, thank you!

    Thank you. I am so encouraged that you have come out of the darkness.Unfortunately, your story is so many people’s story.
    I still value marriage very much, but know that God does not want anyone living in an abusive relationship. It does feel as if it will never end when you are in the midst of it so you have to do what I felt the Holy Spirit tell me, “ step out of the dance” and begin to really see things as they are, not how you wish they were.
