I'm not going to sugarcoat this story. Seven years ago, I got involved with someone else and had an affair. And seven years later I'm still paying the price. Stuck in a loveless marriage with regular rows, which are mostly caused by my own unhappiness and insecurities. My partner and I have been 'getting on with it' but the indifference is awful. I totally accepted this for the first few years after it happened, but don't know why there has been no improvement since. He has stayed with me ever since (probably because it's more convenient to do so), however the toll it has taken on him mentally and physically, is deplorable. He drinks regularly, and we're talking a box of wine (not a bottle), he use to be basically tee-total. He has so much weight gain, and starting to get red-faced, so it obviously is affecting his blood pressure. Like I say, I accepted this misery years ago, lack of forgiveness etc, however seven years later is ridiculous. I would understand if I wasn't putting effort in myself, but I have been trying so hard (despite the fact I have borderline personality disorder and ADHD) I have been remorseful, have been working for years on self-improvement and development, do everything in the house for my family, laundry, cooking, cleaning etc, but everything is always taken for granted. My partner was never one to give any validation or show any emotion, but I am just one of those 'needy' people who need affirmation occasionally. I am physically and mentally exhausted, we both are, plus it's not good for my 14 year old daughter who is always in 'earshot' of everything. I try so hard and get nothing in return.
Please pray for forgiveness, and that both of us can find true happiness again, by the end of 2024. We are both getting older and just wasting time! Pray for enrichment in our lives, and that my partner, Darren, reduces his alcohol intake and starts enjoying his life again. I just pray for full happiness, enrichment and joy, in both our lives! We both have been through so much, deaths etc. Please pray I lose my bitterness also, cause I can't stand to see other happy couples about, and have feelings of wanting to destroy them, so their lives are equally as miserable!
