Second roller coaster ride (part 3)

[Pattnee5]

I like this! The WAS says the blame is only ours. They say vicious things about us. They beat us down and try to make us feel inferior.

I don’t usually delve into deep conversation, only with very few close friends have I done that. But you have to also own your side of the problems too, so my close friends do know more. I’ve admitted my wrongs, however I have also gone at great lengths to repair them and repair the marriage. I don’t start blaming H in conversation about everything he has done or doing wrong, not really helpful airing dirty laundry. But the fact is he left me, he didn’t want to work on our issues or his own personal issues, he is running away to the other side of the world. At the end of the day I hold my head high that I wanted to fight like crazy to save our marriage, that I tried everything I possibly could, that I didn’t run and I am still here for our kids

All marriages and even long term relationships have issues. We are humans not programmed robots. However I am still a strong believer that every marriage is repairable and fixable. Every marriage and partnership has the inner strength to dig deep work through differences and come out of the experience better and stronger than ever. It does require both parties wanting the same thing though, being on the same page.
