You know? It's always so relieving to be able to open up about something that is weighing so heavily on our shoulders. I'm so sorry to hear about what you have been going through, though I can imagine that it has been though. I wouldn't say that what you are going through is a burden you should take care of by yourself, that's what friends are for - to help lighten the load. We all go through rough patches and sometimes we need that extra hand, or whisper, that says everything will be okay. I couldn't agree more with living in "today". That is one thing I have been working on lately - only worrying about today.

It sounds like you are finding yourself, the person you want to be, the person inside of you that drives you, and when you least expect it, something great will happen that fits with exactly the person you are!Rachel G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17098799756617902970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2115047871633728794.post-57647331734326310512014-06-10T15:50:16.366-04:002014-06-10T15:50:16.366-04:00I truly believe some wounds never heal.

I am happily married now but if I hear a certain name or smell the cologne an ex used to wear I still get weak in the knees and feel the crushing sadness. I also feel exactly this way about my infertility, the mourning and needing to concentrate fully on my career dreams. My heart aches for your loss and your decision on which path to take. Either way you will make the perfect decision for you! And good for you for getting it out and being real. Love it.

But, this takes the cake. I am in the same place as you, but have not had the courage to "move on". I think what hit me the most is this: " The only thing harder than losing him, was staying with him. The worst and the best are right beside of each other with an inconceivably thin line in between." I hope that I can find the strength to move on, to make things better for myself. I have tried several times and it has lasted, at the most, 2 months. But, if I would really put my faith where it needs to be, I think I could do it. I will be praying for you, as I know what this is like. And, thank you!

It's so real, and honest, and vulnerable. You are not alone in your feelings. I can't even imagine how hard it must be to see him every day, and I definitely do not envy you that. But you know what is awesome? The fact that even though you know you'll probably see him, you still get up and do your thing. You don't let it stop you from reaching towards what YOU want and need for yourself.. It takes an incredibly strong person to do that, to power through obstacles like that. And it's completely okay to break down once in a while, to find yourself needing a break, and to take it. That's healthy. Just know, my dear, that you WILL get through this, and everything will turn out all right. Everything works out in the end....and if it hasn't worked out yet, it's not the end. You're amazing. Keep on keeping on, and let me know if I can do anything to help you at all.

I broke it off with him and about 2 years later met my husband. I could not even imagine how wonderful this man would be to me! We've been married now for almost 16 years and when I look back I am SO thankful God helpoed me in that decision. it's not easy, but you know its right for you!

But it looks like you've already got that down. I think you're definitely on the up and up part now. Ever day it gets a bit easier even if you don't notice it each day. One day you'll look back and see all the results from your sacrifice and you'll be over the moon happy about all the choices you made.

I know...Don't give up on your goals and dreams. I know that sometimes seems like the easier thing to do and well all have our bad days where we just want to give up. And say screw out progress. I've had days like this myself where I sit and wonder what the point really is. Why do I work so hard and nothing seems to come from it. But, what we don't realize is that something is happening and coming from it. we just can't see it yet. But, in time we will and our hard work will pay off. It seems like your hard work already is paying off in many ways. <br /><br />I was with my ex for 9 years. We where engaged and I could have never imagined my life without him. It has been three years since I've been alone. somedays I want to run back to him in the comfort of his arms. It makes it hard because we talk on and off and he still wants me back. Sometimes I think it would be nice to go back to the way things where but then I remember how even though we had some amazing times we also had a lot of terrible times. More bad then good. The good moments where sweet but the bad moments where very bitter and angry. I realize going back to that would not help me it will only hinder me. It is okay to long for something but don't go back to something that is not healthy for you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
