just a story? about life and love  

Oh

My

Goodness ....

What powerful words! You have no idea how much I needed to hear that very thing at this very moment in time. God sure knows how to use us to help each other, and I'm here to tell you that He used you just now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am writing that one down and going to tape it to my desk.

I am so sorry that you experienced such a loss in the past. The man who helped you was very wise. My parents divorced after 35 years of marriage. My father decided he no longer loved my mother and he left her for another woman. It was almost ten years ago that this happened. My Mom is still suffering, much like you were. She can't let go. She is often depressed and miserable. I have tried to tell her that she shouldn't let my father have so much power over her. I have tried to tell her that she needs to put the past in the past. She just can't seem to do it. It makes me very sad to see my Mom going through this. I don't know how to help her, because unlike you... those words did not cause a breakthrough. I am glad you have found new love! I wish you all the best.

I feel really sorry for you abut what you had to go through in your past.... but don't you blame your self... it was not your fault....misunderstanding happens...
when it reaches the threshold, it better be forgiven.. and I think you should be proud of your self that you did the right thing.....
best wishes for your present life and be blessed.......

oh its a very inspiring and touching story of yours and yes i agree that forgiving is the only way to free oneself from heavy feeling or heavy burden inside the heart. When you find forgiveness in your heart, it makes you feel wonderful and that its a brand new start. They said that "Hurt is the price when loving" ,thats because if you haven't tried to be hurt, you will never know the difference between the two and when you are hurt thats when you learn to appreciate how wonderful love is. I can see your a very romantic person and its glad to know that the story ended happily...... Just my two cents! happy mylotting.

Your life and love story is full of character that depicts the triumph of hope over experience. You are considered a seasoned person with all the good and bad happenings in your life. God never intended that we should be unhappy. Everybody must live his/her own life. Love once given is meant never to be taken back into the heart, any more than the air we breathe out is meant to be taken again into the lungs. Remarriage may bring better social adjustment, but it never brings a deep inner peace.

Well, I believe that we are who we are because of past expierences. Isn't it amazing how good things can actually come from heartache? Like, by having your heart broken you gained two beautiful daughters, and a lifetime of wisdom. You also found a new friend and found alot of respect in the process. It's hard to imagine at the time of the tragedy that something positive may actually follow, but when you push through the pain and suffering and life goes on, you are all the better if only for the knowledge. This is a tragic story with a fairy tale ending and I truely am happy that you were able to regain control of your life. :-)

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all....love hurts and so does life...love makes life worth living...

I must say this actually scares me. My husband and I are junior high sweethearts we have been best friends for many years before we married. Although we do have the occasional argument I pray that he doesn't go years with me and then change his mind one day. I know people change as we have both changed a lot over the years. Were there no signs? My parents have been married for 23 years but they've been miserable the whole 23 and they'd never leave each other. I think they are miserably comfortable if that makes any sense. Oh well all I can say is that I pray my marriage lasts a lifetime.

It saddened me about what happened to you (in fact i belong to a broken family too, although single)... But it was really good for you that you shared this to mylotter because it is indeed an inspiring one and one of the mylotter who experiencing the same might have a very good impact for him/her to accept and to move on... because those two are the hardest part in situation like this...

I am really happy that all of the things that happened, you had forgiven her and accepted it and finally move on with your life... a very hard thing to do...

I could describe you in one word (if you let me) 'GENUINE'...

happy for you..

see yah!

love really hurts. in one way or other, many times love hurts the people. i have seen even believing blindly a friend can cause you great harm. when the love hurts, it makes you feel down. so it must not be the most important thing in life.
