post is on dating /divorced thread

After the blowout w/darth today I now go thru this...

I am sad...sickened and ashamed.

I am worried I can't trust a man ever again.

Very very hurt.

peach,

I'm going to have to agree with you on the first part....he's not "worth" your 180. However, on the second part....never trusting again.....I think you will learn to trust again. Ya know why? Because you know how to trust yourself....and believe or not....that's way more important than anything else. Life is dynamic....it changes....and when things are in the gutter....well that's pretty encouraging. Don't give up on the future.

Hey Peachy,
I'm really sorry. Went to other thread. Sucks, huh?

I suppose if there is a bright side to this whole thing it's that you found out that he wasn't trustworthy BEFORE you said "I do". I'm sure that's not much of a consolation right now but, having been there done that, at least you're spared that situation all over again.

There are good men out there. I have to believe that. God didn't make us to be alone. I guess it just takes a lot of looking to find one. You've got way too much to offer to shut down. Look back at everything God has carried you through. He'll carry you through this too and you'll dust yourself off and keep on going. It will only hurt for a season.

Now, if I could just follow my own advice (and that of many others <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />) I'd be doing "just peachy". <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Rephrase this and it will make your life experiance mean something.

I will never trust a man again more then they have proven I can trust them. I will never blindly trust it must be earned.

There are some good men out there. I promise. Heck I know a couple. Hey I know some real scumbags too that will do or say anything to get what they want and they shouldn't be trusted.

Be the woman that knows the difference between the two and you will be fine.

I really like this advice from Hurtingless, Peachy. It's very true with what I had to learn so that I could take a chance again.

I had some bad luck (read bad choices) after my DD's dad and I split due to his affair, so I really understand your pain, your fears and your terrible sadness.

Life is so hard sometimes Peachy, but you are going to find someone who is very worthy of the dynamic, trustworthy women that you are.

I am so sorry you got hurt again.
