  1. I’m so sorry my friend. I’m glad you aren’t in a loveless relationship anymore. You deserve to be loved, especially by yourself. God has special plans for sensitive, kind and empathetic men like you. He knows the pain you’ve been through and he’s got your back.

    • Thank you for saying so yeah getting out of that last marriage over two years ago was one of the hardest journeys if not the hardest journey of my whole life and lead to the most fulfillment for myself and love of myself and I’ve ever had.

  2. So very true. The hard thing is, when you get burned one too many times, it becomes difficult to trust completely. I’m a work in progress with this for sure. I want to trust, but I always seem to have my wall up just enough where I can build it up quickly when I find myself in the fight or flight mode.

    • I trust where I can, but I have the perfect light detector built-in so people lie I know it especially people I know well. As soon as the deviate in anyway, I know it and feel it.

      Keep going you’re getting there. You’re doing so good. 😊

      • Thanks. I think writing helps me build trust in a different kind of way. It’s funny, I can write out the details of my life to the unknown world of readers I’ve never met, but to let my guard down with people I know, I’m a little skeptical.

          • I used to be married to the most insensitive man on the planet, my opinion of course. We were married for a very long time. I decided one day to take up journaling again. Subconsciously I had written in my journal that he had kissed me on one particular day. It was a kiss on the cheek. I would check back on that date and found myself becoming resentful because days, weeks, months and years were passing by with no other kiss. I tried to kiss him and he’d pull away. I’d ask him to kiss me and he always replied, “kissings for the birds.”

            It was over 5 years before he kissed me again. He told me, “I’ve decided I like kissing you, so now I want to kiss.”

            Bye!!

            • Exactly that’s what you say. Bye Felicia.

              In my last marriage, there was no kiss no hug no nothing no intimacy whatsoever for the last five years and we are married for six so it was five long years of lovelessness
