Actually I think this is what hurts the most out of all the things my husband has done.
You can't un-ring the bell; even if we reconcile, I will always know that fairy tales don't always come true, husbands don't always commit to their wives, etc etc.
I mean we all know that on some level but we get married convinced that it won't be us who lives that experience, because we know what's important and we would never do those things.....but we cannot keep someone else from doing them to us, can we?
I do think that ours is a very ME-centered generation. Sure, people want to "go green" and "save the polar bears" and all that jazz, but even that, to an extent, I think is narcissistic. Because it makes me think that me and my bag of recycled plastic bottles can save the world...I guess I am just saying that people start to think that THEY are really, really important.
You are right theoden, when you draw closer to God you realize that you are blessed to be on this earth, but not entitled to put your needs above everyone else's.
