My Love Story

Love story.

So many of us go through relationships in life that aren't great. This post will hopefully reach out to somebody, anyone, that is going through something similar.

I am going to tell my story. Not to receive sympathy, but to hopefully help someone who may be in a similar situation.

I was in a three and a half year relationship. Why? Because I was too stubborn and blind to see the truth. I was so in love and happy. He belittled me, told me I was fat. He even said he would tie a pork chop around me and let the dog chase me around so I had to run to lose weight. Like who says that!? My ex. He told me I was no good and would never go anywhere in life. He cheated. He lied. He manipulated me. He was a narcissistic jerk! I would spend hours scrubbing our tiny single-wide trailer... and guess what!!?? IT WASN'T CLEAN ENOUGH. I paid most of all the bills because he couldn't keep a job or blew all his money... even though he made three times what I made in a month. He was very mentally abusive. After fighting so much and so hard to fix this guy, I had enough. I grew a backbone. I left. And it was the BEST choice I could have ever made.

Leaving was such a GREAT choice. Sometimes we meet the person we were meant to be with and it's just not the right time. You know how the saying goes... If you love something set it FREE, and if it's meant to be it WILL come back.

I can't tell you how true this is!! I met the MOST AMAZING guy ever about 5-6 years ago. We fell deeply in love.

Then, I made a choice that he did NOT agree with and it tore us apart.

I tried to fix things, but no matter what I did, it DIDN'T work.

I was so devastated, but knew that God had a plan for me.

About a year after the split was when I met my ex... Yes, the one I spoke about above. That was my lesson. A HUGE LESSON LEARNED! I learned how to stand up for myself and figure out my self-worth. I knew I deserved so MUCH more than what my life was.

Here's where things get GOOD!!! Hope you're ready for this.

God showed me back to the man I fell absolutely in LOVE with. The guy I ALWAYS knew was my FOREVER AND ALWAYS. I was so lost for so long and he came back into my life after all these years and showed me what TRUE LOVE was again. He is my rock. No matter how bad I feel he ALWAYS knows how to lift me up. He isn't perfect, but he is PERFECT for me. He is my best friend. My soul mate. And I do NOT want to ever do life without him. He works so hard every day to provide for our home. I don't always show him how much I appreciate the little things or the big things, BUT my goodness!!! Without him, I honestly don't know where I would be right now. And I love knowing that I am loved. I love knowing that I am coming home every night to someone who truly cares for me.

So...

Here is the moral of my story.

Do NOT settle for less than you deserve. If you are with someone who doesn't absolutely make you feel like you are on top of the world EVERY SINGLE DAY, then let me tell you something!!! He is NOT THE ONE!!! When you have someone by your side that truly cares and is the one, you will fully know it. Don't jump into something thinking it is going to be everything you ever dreamed of, because in most cases it won't be. Heartache SUCKS! But when you have a wonderful man that is everything you have dreamed of, hold on to him. Hold on to him tight and do everything you have to do on your part so that you are everything he wants and needs. There is someone out there for all of us. You may be single and reading this like yeah, whatever girlfriend, you are so not right. But I am here to tell you! I have seen it all. I have been through lots of heartbreak, and where I am now, I am holding on. I am gonna hold on FOREVER.

If you need to talk or you need some advice, please reach out to me on my page. I am here. Whether we know each other or not. Everyone needs a listening ear or someone to show them the light.

Hope you all enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed writing about this.
