Some truths are hard to accept… but even harder to live with. I knew within a year of my wedding that something wasn’t right. Eight years later, I finally found the courage to walk away. He was my best friend. Supportive in many ways. But as a husband, I never felt the love, value, or respect I deserved. His family never made me feel like I belonged. My own family told me, “This is normal.” But for me, disrespect was never going to be my normal. And then I found out he was not into me. That was my breaking point. We tried to fix it — both of us did — but we realised we were better apart than together. The hardest part wasn’t the divorce. It was the silence after. The first month, I didn’t tell my family. I didn’t want gossip. I didn’t want pity. I didn’t want to explain my pain. I just wanted to breathe without breaking. I had been dependent on him for so much — especially through my health struggles. Suddenly, I was alone. Anxious. Figuring out doctor visits, medications, and life itself. But here I am. Eight months later. Standing. Healing. Living.
