Becoming a Butterfly


 She Remembers a Man
Back to Full Blog  



She sometimes remembers a man. And wonders how he is. She remembers holding hands and walking in the mountains. She remembers watching him sleep and thinking that she could die right there and be happy.She remembers his laugh, his corny jokes. The stories that he tried to write. He told her about the bad things that he had been through. The wreck that killed his girlfriend. The horrible way that he treated his wife. His wives. He told her that he would NEVER do that to her. He lied. She loved his mother. She still does. She remembers thinking that she was finally in love. Really and truly, forever in love. She remembers thinking that he was such a good father. He's not. She knows the minute that it started to end. The very second. A cruel remark that he made to her. He allowed his children to say hateful things about her because she was older than him. She remembers knowing that he didn't respect her. Didn't respect any woman. He didn't think that a man was capable of being faithful. She has met one that is. She is very, very certain of one thing now. He is the loser. He will regret things when he is older. And she will smile.

Yes he is the loser, and he will have many regrets as he grows older. Older and lonely and bitter and sad! Many regrets he gave up the best thing he ever had.....

Take care, Loveya, Heide

Yes, HE is the one who lost. You don't deserve that from anyone. He'll regret all he's said & done, sooner or later. He'll be a sad, lonely man....

Hope you're doing well!! Don't work too hard. You've got to take care of yourself too.

Luv ya!

Hey Val, just stopping to check in on ya. Glad you are busy and staying well, I hope. I gotta tell ya tho that, "He will regret things when he is older. And she will smile." may never happen, if you had one like I had who didn't have a consience. (I Hope That may not be the case, and you may eventually see some flicker of satisfaction and validation.)

ValAnne,

the cycles continue - until sometime decides that violence will no longer be a part of their relationships.

I have written at length about dv on my couchtalk blog.

ValAnne,

I love the way you painted a memory.

Men like that never get better ... They just grow old and die alone ... as it should be!

Women who survive them are the lucky ones.

Hugggggggggggggggz,
Taylor

One can only hope that this man will someday face the same treatment that he heaped onto others----learn his lesson----and then SINCERELY apologize for being a jerk!

Val Anne,
I was married to one of these for 17 years. I tried and now I have found what I should have had and what I am blessed with, my Matthew.
Ones that treat others cruelly never find this love and joy.

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer

I - I am dropping by a blessing
R - Right from the bottom of my heart.
I - I trust that you will find
S - Strength for each moment and
H - Health for each day along the way!

Someday, 'just ok' is just ok - who cares what others expect of us - taking care of ourselves in our way is number one -

I hope you have some nice plans for the Easter weekend.
