    Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is one of the most painful things😿. Letting go is painful but necessary

      @MyMyTyTy Před 3 lety +104

      Yes! Honestly for me, letting go was harder than being with him knowing he didn’t love me. My attachment was so strong. It’s still hard being away from him.

But I now understand that my mother didn't come from a house hold where she was told she was love. So I finally realized I had to forgive my Mother and be grateful because she did the best she could. God bless u all that came from hurt to victory. You shall make it.

      If only it is that easy. I love my ex-wife, but she does not love me. She has gone back and forth telling me she does then she doesn't. I know she doesn't love me by her actions. She is not doing good in life right now and it kills me to see her in the condition that she is in. I've gone against all the advice from friends and family telling me to forget about her. But, I cant forget about her. I still go out and find her, buy her meals and get her somewhere to stay for a few days. She rather be out on the streets battling her demons than to be home with us. She treats me as if I dont exist when we are sitting next to each other. She has given me every reason to hate her, but I cannot hate her. I know she hurts, because I can feel her pain wherever she is. I dont know how or maybe I'm delusional like she has told me many times. I've tried to move on, but I'm not able to push her out of my heart to make room for someone else. I dont believe in divorce, I believe that when you find that special person...that person that you would go to the ends of the earth for, you keep them. Now that person is not in my life, and I feel lost. I have failed her and her family, and I especially failed our children. I've been told that I'm stupid for helping her when I can, but I will not let her sleep on the street. I vowed to take care of her for the rest of her life, and I still feel obligated to do so. But, there is no pain like the pain of loving someone that doesn't love you back.

The behavior put a wedge between us quickly after moving in together, why? Because I got close enough to see the things he wanted to keep hidden. I loved him unconditionally and wanted to work on us he refused. Love, real love- has no ego, it’s humble etc. real love will at least say- baby I don’t know how to do this, but I will do what it take to work through things. This is a marriage not a boyfriend. Now, he’s off as if he’s not married.

      I truly am sorry that this has happened to you. I pray God mends your heart and gives you peace, through this.
      Men who suffer from past trauma, are most times super insecure. They are afraid little boys, who cannot deal with real emotions. Everything that has happened to them, is everyone else's fault. They will do whatever it takes to avoid feeling the hurt they have felt on their past. Even if it means pushing the ones who won't ever hurt them away. Instead, they go back to what they know, to what feeds their egos, even if it is fake. It is all they know. They know nothing other than being manipulated, although their mouth say it is Not what they want. It is absolutely what they gravitate toward. We as empaths, can no longer agree with them who love us HOW THEY CHOOSE TO LOVE US. We must FIRST love ourselves....

      My husband and I dated for 3+ years before getting married. He had been amazing before that day. He had (in his childhood) been the youngest ordained minister in the US, and knew the word better than anyone I've ever known or even heard of. He knew of my love of God and also (because of that love) that I do not believe in divorce. His gentle, loving, fun, kind, etc. ways were instantly gone the day we got married. He hit me so hard that day for absolutely no reason (I'm not saying there is a reason to hit someone). When I was knocked to the floor, holding my jaw, and said, ''why did you hit me'', he answered, ''I love you Cinder, I'd never hurt you''. I asked the same thing once again, he answered, ''I love you, I'd never hurt you...Jeffrey did it''. I responded, ''who's Jeffrey?'' These many long years have been a nightmare. I finally had him leave (after 38 years) but still feel the bible clearly states we are not supposed to divorce. He moved exactly 2 blocks from me and continues to ruin my reputation with lies everywhere he goes. He even will hurt himself and claim I'd hurt him (even though I would be nowhere near him, oddly, even strangers will say they witnessed this so-called abuse by me. In psychiatry these people are referred to as,''flying monkeys'', they really do exist. My ''husband'' was born with a charisma I also have yet to see in anyone else (documentaries on these charismatic cult leaders and the like...don't even come close to describing the narcissistic, borderline personality, psychopath, actor I am still married to. Iyanla says, if the marriage is bad, divorce him and move on. I want to be free from being married to him. If you know of anywhere in the bible where it states that God condones divorce, please (I'm really asking) please let me know. Thank you for reading this, even though it is very long. God Bless.

    Accept, let go, move on without anger, people treat us the way we allow!!!!! We are responsible for garding our own hearts. When folks are incapable/refuse to give us what we feel we deserve, we must move on without the relationship. Eveyone has the right to be who they are without others trying to change them. Everyone has the right to move on to receive what they need. Love is action, not words, we must decide what we need from relationships, what we will accept from others.

    • @donnebonne
      @donnebonne Před 3 lety

      @johnderek it's hard, I understand... but I had to come to the conclusion that she will NEVER say "I'm proud of you" or "you know you're right". She is treating you the way she feels about herself. Our job is to focus on The (heavenly) Fasther's love... HE has the final say-so. what does HE say? Read psalms 139... THAT'S your truth.
      Here's my interpretation of it:
      Papa God has searched and known all of you and your ways... whether you're sitting down standing up, walking, or lying down,
      He knows every single thought before you even think it. He knows every word your going to say before you even speak iit.
      He's placed you in the palm of His hand and securely enclosed you... He's got your back and He holds your future
      Can you even comprehend the heights and depths of His love for you?
      You can't go anywhere to flee from Gods presence. If you go to heaven or hell or drown in the depth of the sea, He's there.
      Yes, when jonah was running from God, he ended up in the bottom of the sea... in the belly of a big fish! it was so awful, he thought he was in hell.
      Yet God managed to use that big fish to transport Him to exactly where He needed him to be.
      Smart fish? Obviously smarter than jonah... smart enough to just do what God said and not rebel.
      Whatever you're going thru right now, He's using it to transport you to exactly where He needs you to be
      Whether you're in darkness or light, they're both the same to God. Because He's light and has no darkness.
      Even before you were conceived, He fearfully and wonderfully knit you together in your mother's womb, and wrote all your days in His book .
      He knew every single screw up you'd ever make. None of it was a surprise to Him. It was all an opportunity to prove Roman's 8:28 in your life
      You're constantly on His mind... in His every single thought
      Wicked people may try to destroy you, and don't you hate their wicked ways? They speak and do horrible things against God, His Word and you, but He promised in Psalm 91, that He'll cover and protect you from any harm.
      So let Him search you, and know your heart: try you, and know your thoughts: and show you if there's any wicked way in you. He knows what they are and all He wants to do is lead you in His way everlasting.

      Update: what I’ve learned during this time in the valley is that - my heartbreak was my fault! My husband showed exactly who he was in the very beginning of our relationship. I rationalized his behavior, I excused things, hoped on things and felt God would make it alright. Were these “ things” blaring offenses in the beginning, no. My husband was very loving, thoughtful etc. but! A lie here and there about small things. Signs of self puffing up. In the beginning there isn’t enough experience for those signs to be Hugh flags. But later they became the very flags that destroyed the marriage. I wasn’t confident enough in myself to walk away from a liar. He had everything I prayed for- but the devil won’t tempt you with something you don’t desire. God wanted me to adhere to the Holy Spirit that guides me. And I didn’t. I wanted my husband but deep down , my spirit was telling me no. And there were other things as well. I married him anyway.. putting my world on the line for someone’s words. Ignoring the actions!!! Not even married a year and going through a divorce. The answer to all of this relationship heartbreak- follow your gut feeling, that still small voice that you so desperately want to ignore, because 10 / 10 that voice is God trying to protect you from your desires when they don’t align with His will for your life💜

    I've been with the woman I love for 9 years now, and I'm now 36 and she's 27. I've spent all these long years wanting love from someone incapable of loving me back. She never has married me, never gave me children, and treats me like a roommate but a roommate you sleep with. Her mother abandoned her when she was a child and she never learned how to love..at least not in any way that really matters. Now I find myself older and stuck when I should be in my prime. I find myself getting too old to even start the family I should already have. If you find yourself in my position, run..run fast and far. Find someone worthy of your love and willing to reciprocate it. Don't let yourself waste all the time I've wasted.

Having grown up alone, rejected and unloved,not knowing who I was,made me be traumatized deep until in my late 30s. I Got transformed from brokenness and bitterness to this new person that I love and am genuinely living a joyful life,best life ever. Iyanla has been my psychologist and mentor. I followed her every word as she helped others who carried the same pains. I can't even afford to pay her,what she did for me has no price. You are a blessing and I love you Iyanla.
