transparent apology and move in. My dad would get overly suspicious and move out. My mom would feel guilty and move back in. Never in the same house and never in the same town. They called it quits after six long years of this. And ever since, I found myself searching for the stability my parents never gave me. It was instilled in my mind that a man could provide it for me; someone the exact opposite of my dad. But I kept finding myself in toxic relationships as if I was destined to follow in my mother’s footsteps.
perfect… for a “ Things were moment
“
After countless failed relationships, I realized that I needed to provide stability for myself. I would go to college, get a good job and be very selective of who I let into my life. And then I met my husband. I saw so much good in him: kindness, sense of humor, drive, good looks and most of all, stability. I trusted him to provide for me mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. Never in a million years would I expect him, the former quarterback of my high school, to look at me twice, but he did and I jumped at the opportunity. At first, things were great. He was the exact opposite of all the other guys I had dated and, more importantly, he was the exact opposite of my dad. He made me feel worthy of all the things I never had growing up. And, with that, I let my guard down. Relying on a man, once again, to take care of me. We dated for a year and became engaged soon after. We had a beautiful wedding, a perfect honeymoon and we moved into a condo we remodeled together. Things were perfect… for a moment. better
