Divorced for the second time. I spent three years with a man that I loved fiercely and over time the relationship began to deteriorate and so did that feeling of love. Relationships take two people, right? It is never going to be 50/50, correct? All good. Jlo's song comes to mind "I'm ain't your mama"
I clearly remember, after everything exploded and he was gone, I went through the phases of grief. It is quite a mind fuck. A few days after he left, I spoke to a friend, and he asked me - Marsha, did he gaslight you? I felt insulted, I bit his head off. What? Me? never. My friend wasn't used to hearing me sound so out of sorts.
At the end of the day, I am not a victim. My heart and soul were open and he was in my circle, until he showed me who he was and La Loba started to shake, shake, shake - I ignored it. Sometime during December 2019 he told me he wanted a divorce. He said a lot of things that made sense - such as: we are not right for each other, I have been depressed, you are too strong for me - My response was, wait what? lets work on it. Deep down I knew he was right. I just wasn't willing to accept it.
About a few weeks later, he woke up in state of rage - blaming me for giving something to my daughter, called me a manipulator, a liar, stated that the relationship was shit, and that he was done . At that point, I said okay. Fuck it. He called me minutes later and wanted to reconcile. Okay sure. Then a few weeks after that, we were sitting in my living room and I was thinking, you know fuck this, I am sitting here like some dumb ass trying to work on a dead marriage and being supportive - and he is still being a dick. I decided, no more.
It took me a few weeks to collect myself. I spent some time within the confines of my soul... allowing La Loba to take over.. Shake, shake, shake. La Loba - the center of me, it is where I found healing.
My body, soul, and mind have now found its rhythm with the Universe... Letting go completely and taking what I needed to learn from that relationship... nourishing my soul with it, feels good.
Accepting things and people for what and who they are... Exhilarating.
I don't feel regret - I don't miss him. I gave too much of myself and went into survival mode.
I am free. At last.
Aoooooooooo
