So, I watched Tough Love: Couples. Let me first say one thing, it broke my heart to see girls crying in wedding dresses. I have been there. Once in my life. My relationship with my son’s dad was TOUGH. It was, first of all, unhealthy. It was also abusive, depressing and I was pushed to do things in a relationship, I never would have done.
I remember the day, I bought my wedding dress. I remember my mom’s face when I tried it on. I remember spinning around in front of the mirror and imagining a good life. HOPING for something better. Something I deserved.
I also remember the day it was over. I remember sitting on the floor, crying and staring at that same wedding dress…wondering if I should burn it, sell it or just stare at it.
It’s still hanging in my parents closet.
No girl should EVER have to go through such a trama. I kept the wedding dress to remind me of the hope I had. If I can have just as much hope in a HEALTHY relationship, then consider me ball and chained FOR LIFE.
Relationships are hard.
Moving on. So, when Jesse came home, I never admitted that I looked at his e-mail. I put a lot of thought into it, I even e-mail a former life guru ;) asking what to do. I obviously either don’t trust Jesse (which I have no reason not to) OR, I’m looking for a reason not to trust him because I’m scared.
He’ll eventually find out just how scared I really am, because one day, I will let him read back our relationship from day one. (Hi, Jesse. Sorry about the psycho girl snooping.)
The day he reads it back, I hope, will be a happy day, because there are only two occasions when I will show him this blog. One: If he proposes. Two: If we break up.
I have a lot going on in my head. I believe that we have something special. I also believe that I am finally at a point in my life, where I am mature enough to evolve this feeling into a life. The dark side to all of Jesse’s beautiful light, is that I don’t believe he takes me seriously. I think he WANTS to, but I think he is just as scared as I am.
I would stay tuned, if I were you,
A
