The woman told her heartbreaking story and how she is scared to get back together with her estranged husband.
Below is what she shared:
******************************
My husband left me a few years ago when we were living abroad. I came home one day to find a letter telling me he’d gone.
I later found out that he’d been seeing someone else for some time. We had two kids then under 10 years old.
We’d been married for 12 years and had always been great friends. When he left, I coped with my dignity intact.
I even took abuse from the other woman but I made sure the children saw him regularly. But he cut himself off from me. If I rang him for help or advice, he’d hang up.
My husband continued to pay the mortgage but I still had financial worries. I decided we should sell the house so that I could come back to the country with my children. I have settled down wonderfully well and have a thriving business.
My husband’s woman turned out to be had news and she kicked him out. He told the children he’d been living alone in a bedsit and he seems lost and unhappy. He tells me he loves and misses us all but I don’t think I feel the same way about him.
Sometimes I miss him terribly and see us back as a family. At other times, I feel that my anger and disgust – and even my new source of independence would get in the way of us having a future together.
He’s prepared to come home if I would have him back. I loved my husband for friendship and trust we once shared rather than any s*xual attraction.
Now, I’ve lost all that and I don’t know what I feel. I can’t turn back the clock, neither can I move forward. I don’t want to throw our relationship away, but my husband did a terrible thing to us and was cruel and uncaring for a long time.
I’m scared of being hurt again.
