I was one of those that never believed in "Love at First Sight" or "True Love"; until the day I met my husband, Rick, he was my "FOREVER LOVE"!
I did everything to support "his dreams", emotionally, financially, until the day he lost the business, our home and pretty much everything we had. I never even considered leaving him, I loved him.
Then he pursued his "next dream" of working at a Parrot Facility; moving 6 times in 4 years; having 21 parrots in our home at one point, what could I say, it was "his dream" and I loved him.
At some point, it was supposed to be my turn for "my dreams"; but after 15 years of marriage, he just walked out and said "He didn't want to be married any more". He went to two couples counseling sessions, but, when he realized what he was going to have to do to save our marriage, he bolted!
He destroyed my world with one sentence, with everything that I sacrificed for him, he just walks away (and no there isn't another woman), not even try to save our marriage. I was the expendable part of his selfish, self-centered life!
Now I wish that I had never met him, I changed my entire life for him and loved him unconditionally for 17 years!!
For the last year, I have been living in the guest bedroom of a very dear friend. I can't imagine where I would be right now if it wasn't for her.
His life goes on as if I never existed, he just erased the last 17 years! But my heart is broken beyond repair!
