A positive way of thinking can solve problems but, the people I trust... have earned my trust. They consistently prove themselves to be honest, supportive, and dependable. They communicate openly and clearly. They assume responsibility for their \" actions\" . They keep the promises they make. They hold my heart safe. To me trust & respect is the most important ingredient in any \" successful relationship.\" My marriage lacked these basic ingredients of trust, honesty, and support. It was all about lies and then trying to cover up those lies with more lies. They had no regret for any deception or losing someone' s trust & faith in them because of their deceitful actions. So, in the begining when the foundation of a relationship is weakened by lies & wrong actions, the building of that relationship cannot stand up to the storms of the negativity which is the direct result of those lies/wrong actions. Because of all this build-up of complications, my health got affected, I was soo stressed out that I just wanted to get my simple & peaceful life back. My husband was not sensitive or supportive towards my dereriorating health because he didn' t care about me or felt even remotely bad for his wife' s health crisis. Instead, of being sensitive towards me he started making smart comments & made jokes. I was already feeling very self-conscious & vulnerable because I had lost alot weight in a matter of just 3 months and I was always a very sensitive person. So, my health situation & my husband' s negative & insensitive behavior towards me really affected me & I just could not take anymore negative vibes from their side.
Even my doctors were starting to tell me to take a break from my stressful life because ever since I got married, I started seeing them every month with symptoms of stress. So, when I told my husband that his insensitive & negative comments about me & my health during the past several weeks have really hurt my feelings, that I cried & felt worse everytime he made those comments, he had no regrets for making them & acted like he didn' t care if I was hurt. I was very disappointed of his negative behavior and realized that he was not the nice & sensitive guy he pretended to be but a person who didn' t care about me or our already troubled marriage. So, my marriage dissolved. Its been 4 yrs since all this happened. My parents wanted me to make amends & compromise with whatever happened & was happenening at the time because they did not want my marriage to end in divorce. They tried their best to talk with my father-in-law but he blamed me for my mom-in-law' s demise which was a total shock & didn' t make any sense. I was the one battling for my health in the hospital. I the one who was in & out of the hospital 4 times in 4 months and he was blaming me....how ridiculous was that? Nobody has control over anybody' s God-given destiny. Everyone comes & goes at their own time.
Every individual soul has its own intellect & habits. So, it acts according to its acquired sanskars which are deeped by repeated good/bad actions. You cannot change anyone unless they themselves realize & then decide to change for the better. So, why bother trying to change anyone. I believe that life is way too short so better surround yourself with truthful, clean-hearted, good & honest people who bring only JOY to your life!!!
I don' t have any negative feelings towards my husband anymore because we were still kids in our early 20' s who didn' t know how to deal with a marriage' s & life' s unexpected twists & turns. I think we both were not mature enough to be married. We both had a fairytale that our married life would be perfect & it didn' t turn out to be that way at all. I wanted a best friend not just a husband who loved & supported me no matter what & unfortunately that didn' t happen either. My husband never contacted me since then even when he knew that I was very sick when our marriage ended & that just shows he never loved or cared about me in the first place because if I was him, I would atleast once try to find out once if my wife is doing ok or not? But, I am just too caring...I can' t expect this emotion from everyone.
Now, I feel that sometimes life gives you painful lessons so that you grow as a person & learn not to have blind faith & trust in people and I guess this was my lesson!
