Divorce Is Not A Dead End
I am that girl that was not looking to get remarried. I was not shy about sharing this either.
In my first marriage I slowly died inside and I lost myself in the process. Going through my divorce with all the new information pushed me to my limits of feeling like it was almost too much to take and I might not make it out alive.
Instead I made it out loving life more than ever before. My discoveries led me down a healing journey of regaining trust in myself and remembering who I am.
I got to the point of loving my new life and the realization that living like a single mom while married had its benefits. I didn’t need anyone at all.
Then I met Mark and everything changed. He didn’t need anyone either because he had been living a life similar to mine. But we enhanced each other and it made everything better. We are so similar in what we value, love and how we live. It’s like we were built for eachother.
I love that he checks boxes I didn’t even know were an option. He has consistently lived in a way that for someone that struggles with trust gives me so much confidence.
I love that he is patient, kind, and fun. I love how much we dance and laugh. I love that he gets my betrayal trauma because he’s been there too. I love how we live out our dreams everyday.
I love that I know God loves us because he gave mutual friends and family the inspiration to help push us into finding each other at the right time. I love that all hope is restored and the vulnerability to love again is worth it.
I love that I value him so much more because I know what it means for him to choose and be each day. I love we appreciate the small and simple things because we know what it’s like without. We love having a real partner and that we prioritize each other and our family.
We would go through what we did again a million times to get us where we are today. Divorce was not a failure or a dead end but a spring board to a life better than we could have ever imagined. We are more true to who we are because we aren’t compromising in unhealthy ways to be a partner.
What blessings has divorce brought you?
