How can you really trust someone? Could you trust them with your life? Could you trust them with your child? Could you trust them with your darkest secret? Could you trust them with your car? Could you trust them with your heart??
I can’t.
I am not able to trust people these days. It’s just something that’s aquired in me over time. Backstabbing friends, bad relationships, betrayal, lies, broken promises…etc etc the list goes on.
I cannot fully put myself into a relationship whether it be friendship or otherwise, I can’t do it. I know I’m married but I can’t even trust my own husband. What’s a marriage without trust?
I’ve been so hurt in the past and present. It doesn’t want to leave me, always popping it’s nasty little head up every now and then. Ruining perfect moments shared by loved ones, a nice hug, a gentle kiss, a good laugh. Walk around the corner and there it is…..the thoughts….no they’re not voices in my head….just my inner self telling me that whoever I was just with is thinking of how horrible I am to be around. It could be anything from the way I look to the way I act or even what’s going on in my life. I hate having drama in my life. I really do hate it. But I can’t escape it, no matter what I do. I can’t sleep much at night and when I do I’m haunted by the thoughts that haunt me during the day. I know I’m a little bit crazy…..that’s what makes me fun most of the time. I’m constantly worried that my husband is going to cheat on me or break my heart again. I’m constantly worried while I’m at work that he’s going to cam with another chick or have cyber sex with them while our son is napping. All of this has driven me over the edge. I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m simply stuck in a metaphorical bubble of my own insanity, if you will.
I really wish I knew what to do. I can never believe what Jeff tells me when I find something on the internet. I get pushed farther and farther away with each word that comes out of his mouth. Some of the time he can’t even make eye contact. He comes towards me wanting a hug and I can’t bring myself to wrap my arms around him and accept his display of affection. Sometimes I think to myself “why should I?” or “what have I ever done to deserve this pain?”. Today I thought things were so messed up that I even considered the big D word….Let’s say it together now….Divorce. I know, big step right? Jeff never really sits down and asks me what’s going on. He’d rather make friends on the internet, play games, watch wrestling or read up on the latest WWE or UFC news. What’s a girl to do? I’ve talked to friends and they all say the same thing….”maybe you should split up for awhile” or “have you ever thought of leaving?”. It’s all the same. I feel so neglected. I feel so…..taken advantage of. Which makes me feel even more depressed about everything.
What have I done so wrong to feel this way? I feel like such a horrible wife. My own husband is bored with me…he’s admitted it to other people. He says it’s all a joke, but I know it’s the truth. It hurts. It really does. That pain that collects in the middle of your chest and spreads to your whole body. I just want to be loved. I often feel like I’m the only one in love in this relationship. That’s the truth.
How can I last in a one sided relationship?
