I keep wishing that the stages of grief were linear so that I could be confident in knowing that each day will be better than the last, but it doesn't happen that way. One minute, I'm sort of okay and busy at work going through the motions. Then a quiet moment happens and I'm fighting back tears. It's really hard for a multiple of reasons...but one is that my ex's new girlfriend works right across the street from my office and I have to deal with her agency and her regarding housing for clients. I hear her name and my heart sinks to the floor...knowing she has what has been ripped from me. My soul will never recover from this betrayal...I likely will never trust another person with my love, honesty, loyalty, devotion, or my heart. The damage so violent, so raw, so exposed. At the start of our relationship...she was the last thing I thought of before sleep and the first thing I thought of when I awoke. It is still the same, but for a very different reason. The happiness, love and excitement is gone, replaced with fear, loss and tears. I guess more than anything, even more than the cheating...the 8 months of lies is what really kills me. And continues to stab what's left of my fragile heart. It lay in tatters, strewn about the floor...dirty, stepped on, barely beating...and I still to some degree hate that it still beats. No matter how hard I pray, I cannot stop what she has set in motion nor can I stop the beating of the very heart she has obliterated. It beats even when I will it to stop. I wonder if God is sitting back laughing at what a fool I have been...is he thinking this is what you get for being a fag, dyke, lesbian, gay? Is heart ache and torture all I have left in this life...

When tomorrow's ruined before today even starts...

Deb,
ReplyDeleteI just stared reading your blog thus the late comment. I am sorry for your loss. Your feelings are what all feel to one extent or another when a relationship ends. God does not sit back, no has the time to laugh at all ended relationships whether lei bean or heterosexual. I think he feels sorrow when we feel sorrow and wishes he could intervene to make us all happy...oh that was satans plan!
More comments to come as I continue to read. I love you deb just as I love all my family despite their sexual orientation.
Jill, I want you to love me for me, not despite my sexual orientation.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
ReplyDeleteYou have just as much right and the next person on the list to comment. These are u'r feelings and they are real and true for you. I use to feel like this until I spent much time in prayer and deep thought.
It took me years to realize that I can fall in love and be in a good relationship and that I won't be punished for who I am. I think the hardest thing for me was to remember we are all human. We make mistakes just like the next person. If a homosexual relationship doesn't work out, it's not because I'm gay, it's because it just wasn't meant to be. I believe that straight or gay couple have the same issues and that there is cheating and lying in both types, not just one or the other.
Keep talking and sharing. Let all of us have the chance to get to know u better and understand where u are in your journey.
your friend.
