But right now, we are just getting started.
Question:
I married my husband on the rebound. I was hopelessly depressed about my ex- husband who left me and my daughter. I had no feelings at all. At the time of our marriage, I felt like it was a huge mistake but figured I could never "feel" again so figured I had nothing to lose. Now I am very unhappy....I have been on antidepressants for four years and am just now getting my life back, my emotions back and myself back. Needless to say, I am unhappy. What should I do? I don't feel anything for this poor man I married. He helped me through a bad time and I have stayed with him out of guilt....I can no longer please others. I need to start pleasing myself. I really don't know what to do....please help me! What should I do?
The Truth As I See It!
You need to start looking out for yourself first and foremost.
You hopefully now know that marrying the second man was a huge mistake and wasn't good for either of you. The sooner you get yourself out of the situation you are in, the better for both of you. Give the new hubbie his due for bearing with you all this time through your self described unhappiness and move on, and, for his sake, away. Make a clean break from him and go out to find yourself. Until you can love yourself, you are unable to love another. Go find yourself a life free of men for a while. Pamper yourself, enrich your life. Get all your marbles in a bag. I'd recommend you do it as soon as possible. Be easy on him. You may find yourself loving your second hubbie when you can see straight again. You never know!
Good Luck!!
