My marriage didn’t work out, but I learned a valuable lesson from it: love alone isn’t enough…
Love isn’t enough when you find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with…
For me, it’s over; the only esteem I have for him today is as the father of my child; I have no regrets.
When you have a child, the dynamics change, as do the things you say and do….he turned seven a few days ago, and he won’t always be seven, so the questions are already coming, why is daddy not here, my friends’ father did this….and all that, so I’ll let him know when he’s old enough… It’s difficult to create a balance between the truth and what he requires right now… He asks questions, and it’s difficult not to be dishonest while also not badmouthing his father and revealing just enough….the that’s challenge for me….I see it as a responsibility I’ve chosen to carry 100 percent of the time, and I’m enjoying it….like now, if I have to make some decisions, I’ll need to think about it….
