It's OK to grieve your marriage and wish things had been different. It's a sad reality though that not all wishes come true. Eventually, it becomes a happy reality though. You find new things to enjoy, you find new people to care about who care about you. It takes time to build a happier life. There aren't short cuts, but chocolate and satisfying experiences help along the way.
Thank you… yeah, right now I don’t see my value. Maybe a need a new life, or a rehabbed life. I’m afraid to face what I have to face. It’s easier to go along with the status quo than to make big changes.

And yes, I’m grieving my marriage. It’s so sad to me. I’ve deleted all photos of him from the last five years from my phone and Facebook except for the wedding. It’s like I’ve erased the last five years and now there’s a big hole that I have to fill. It’s overwhelming.
