- Go to "Distrust"
Hi Chuck, I'm so glad to see you're writing again after this life poem. I find writing to be good therapy for my soul. It gets out all the things I wish I could put into words and just cant. It's a terrible thing when a spouse cheats, but I know first hand, the cheating is only the symptom of the problem and not the problem itself. As I'm sure you've done some healing already I won't go into it so deeply. I just hope you haven't let this experience leave you empty or distrustful to the point where you don't allow yourself to love again. I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and that our experiences make us stronger. Learn from the mistakes you made, let her learn from hers, and use it to make your next relationship better and stronger. My sincere apologies for your heartache and pain. Don't give your power over to bitterness my friend, it will only stunt your growth and hurt you in the end, be generous of heart and goodwilled, it will all come back to you.

sometimes I think Chuck that we go by the physical rather than consciousness of a person and gradually find one is really a stranger to the other so it just does not gel. Interesting writing though.

eeyowee how hurtful to everyone involved is separation and divorce.
Don't blame it all on the ex. though....we grow wiser and stronger if we face our own share of what went wrong......sometimes love just wears itself out. i wish you peace and joy for the future.
