Hi.

It seems impossible but I just got married on my birthday, Sept. 7. i am 42.

I am having a lot of trouble believing that anyone could love me.

the best friend I've evr had told me that I am too messed up for love, but apparently Dane doesn't think so.

this is uncharted territory for me.

But I am so happy.

I feel like this isn't meant for me. Every time something bad happens---and something bad did happen---right after our honeymoon---I think I am being punished by some supernatural force.

Anyone else have this issue? Where they can't believe something so good is happening to them and it is theirs to have?

Billi

Congrats to you. Things do come up with everyone. IMO it's just a part of life that we need to deal with.

Congratulations, Billi. You deserve to be happy. It is normal to question your bliss but don't listen to any girlfriends who badmouth you! Sweet blessings!

WOO HOOO!! Congratu-freakin-lations!
Go Billi- Go Dane- Go Marriage - w00t w00t!

We all get our share of crap - no need to go freakin out when the good stuff comes along too!

At least, that's what I try to tell myself. I'm much better at accepting bad things than good things into my life.

I have, however, grown very comfortable in appreciating my hubby and our love.
w00t!

Many years of love to ya!

Yep, i can definitely understand what you're feeling. I often think the same thing about myself. I feel worthless most of the time. I don't really know how my boyfriend can love me. I know i don't treat him very well when i'm depressed. Yet, he still puts up with it. I have went through and seen so much negativity in my life that it's like i expect everything to be negative now. It's just such a difficult thing that weighs me down. :-( Nobody should have to go through this. Hope you feel better soon! Apparently, we are loved and we do deserve happiness so we should just be happy.

Had to bump this topic.

Now divorcing.

Cause I couldn't deal with it and Dane couldnt' deal with that.

Anyway, now celebrating because we were both honest enough to end it.
